    A Golf Trip to Streamsong (with Ashdon Woods)

    A Golf Trip to Streamsong (with Ashdon Woods)

    Shane has his longtime buddy Ashdon Woods on the pod to unpack into their recent trip to Streamsong Golf Resort in Florida. They cover the highlights from the three courses and the Chain, a new short course on the property, before reviewing the surrounding amenities, like the stellar hotel and food scene. All great tips for those looking to plan a trip to the Florida resort in the future. They end the pod with some fun stories from their days on the mini tours, Ashdon's hole-in-one this year on his dad's 70th birthday and playing the Monday money game in Arizona during the pandemic with Max Homa.

    A special thanks to Ashdon for his time (what a podcast debut!)

    Kate Smith

    Kate Smith

    It's been long overdue to have Kate Smith on the podcast so we are happy to report she is in fact this week's guest!

    Kate talks about her great season Epson Tour, what flipped from her rookie year to this level of consistent play, and what she will do to prep for Q-School later this year.

    Then, Kate and Shane talk about how they got into business together and started Ground Under Repair. Kate talks about the balance between owning a business and playing high-level professional golf and how fun it is to get to do both. 

    They get into Kate's golf upbringing and growing up in a golf family and what it was like leading the Augusta National Women's Amateur after the opening round in 2021. 

    Kate is the best and we were so pumped to have her on.

    Shad Tuten

    Shad Tuten

    If you missed the Korn Ferry Tour Championship earlier this month, you missed one of the most gutting moments in the history of professional golf. Shad Tuten was right around the top-30 number on Sunday needing to finish strong to get his PGA Tour card for 2024.

    Shad got penalized on the 15th hole and that two-shot penalty cost him his PGA Tour card, eventually finishing 32nd on the points list. After a couple of months to reflect, Shad joined Shane on the pod to talk about that Sunday, the ruling, when he was initially told that something might be afoot and the fallout after.

    A huge thanks to Shad for taking the time to chat about this brutal situation and here is to a great December at Q-School and a storybook ending to this unfortunate situation.

    Chatting Simulators with Carl Markestad

    Chatting Simulators with Carl Markestad

    If you live in the northeast you know that we are getting closer and closer to simulator szn. It's basically here for us cold-weathered people and that means the attention turns to indoor golf options so I thought it made sense to chat a little with a man who started a company to make simulator work easier for the consumer.

    Carl (The Carl behind Carl's Place) chatted about the business, the Covid boom for his business, and what makes a good simulator room.

    A huge thanks to Carl for the time!

To the Max

I’ve been playing golf for 30 years but Max Homa is the one who got me into golf podcasts.

For the Fans

Fantastic listen for sports fans, golf fans, or just fans! A mix of Shane’s dulcet voice and Max’s golf expertise gives listeners a great insight into the life of a PGA Tour golfer and what tournament golf is really like! First podcast I listen to every Monday!

TheGingerAssassin ,

Must listen

Great pod. Max and Shane just bounce off each other. It’s now a must listen for me. Just wish Shane would stop talking about how far he hits his driver
