    Season 2 Episode 25 - Craig Jones Fore! Golf Podcast

    Episode 63 is here with Craig Jones from The Fore Cast Golf Podcast! This week I’m joined by Craig for a brilliant chat covering everything from growing up with cricket and golf to becoming part of a golfing family where the game is truly a way of life. While cricket had a good run, golf definitely won in the end  We get into:  How his golf journey started  Why golf has become a family affair, with his partner, son, brother and dad all involved in the game  How handicaps and tee boxes make golf one of the few sports where everyone can genuinely compete together  His home club and what it means to represent your club in team matches  Why team golf is so important and whether the PGA is missing a trick by not embracing more match play and team events  WITB, including a new driver that maybe doesn’t quite match the aesthetics   The majors, LIV Golf and the current state of professional golf  YouTube golf and the creators shaping the game today And plenty more golf chat along the way, finishing with the usual laughs and debates you’d expect. If you’re local to Craig, be sure to check out his home course slinford golf club, and make sure you give The Fore Cast Golf Podcast a listen too. I’ve now had Craig and Ross on the show… just Dave left to complete the set!   Less than TWO WEEKS until Ross and I take on The Big Golf Race challenge. The excitement (and nerves) are definitely building now. Huge thanks as always to Shot Scope for supporting the podcast.

    Season 2 Episode 24 - Millie May Tillyer

    Episode 62 is here and what a brilliant conversation this was. Joining me this week is PGA Professional Millie May Tiller, and let me tell you, Millie has the kind of personality that can brighten anyone’s day. Her energy is infectious, and I came away from this podcast in such a good mood. Millie started golf at a very young age thanks to her parents, especially her mum, who played a huge role in introducing her to the game and supporting her journey. We don’t go too deeply into it, but losing her mum has undoubtedly had a huge impact on Millie’s life. Despite that, she continues to make her mum proud through everything she achieves, both on and off the golf course, including raising money for charity in her honour. While that experience affected her competitive side for a period, don’t let that fool you. Millie may be enjoying her golf more than ever, but she’ll still do everything she can to beat you on the course. We chat about:  Competing from a young age  Turning professional at just 18  What’s in the bag  Her favourite golf courses she’s played — and yes, somehow she picked my home course in Scotland!  Her partner Jack, who is also a PGA Professional (loser does the dishes for a week after their matches)  Starting her own business and taking a gamble on herself  Our shared love of JCB and how Kate, Millie and myself are apparently buying a tractor just to get an invite All this and plenty more. Make sure you give Millie and her partner Jack a follow if you're looking for lessons. For business enquiries, Millie’s email is below, and you’ll also find details of the golf course she’s affiliated with. Go and give them a follow, like and share and let them know I sent you. https://www.instagram.com/milliemaytillyer https://www.instagram.com/jackeatongolf_?igsh=MTVzNmE3cWJ4YnI5dA== https://www.instagram.com/woolstonmanor milliemay.media@gmail.com Huge thanks as always to Shot Scope for supporting the podcast use code CHASINGPARS for 15% off   Like  Share  Subscribe  Tell a golf mate Stay safe Stay humble Stay blessed  #ChasingPars #GolfPodcast #PGAProfessional #WomenInGolf #TheBigGolfRace

    Season 2 Episode 22 - Barry Waearing FNDGolfer

    Episode 60 is here and this is a really important one. Joined by Barry Waearing (fndgolfer), current Scottish Open champion for golfers with disabilities, we dive into a conversation that goes far beyond golf. Barry lives with FND often described as “the most common uncommon condition” and while he does incredible work raising awareness everywhere he goes, this episode also reminds you that he is far more than his condition. He’s a brilliant golfer, a genuine competitor, and an even better person. We start with his incredible Scottish Open victory before getting into some deeper conversations around FND. Barry was incredibly open and honest answering questions, helping normalise discussions around conditions people may not fully understand. We talk about:  His golf journey and Scottish Open win  The daily physical and mental struggles of living with FND  What golf can do for mental health and routine  What needs to change in golf to create more competitive opportunities for disabled golfers  WITB and golf ball chat  The most important thing golfers should practice  The future of golf simulators  And of course, a round of This or That Honestly, this was one of the most eye-opening and enjoyable conversations I’ve had on the podcast.

    Season 2 Episode 18 - Matt @Highlandgolfperformance

    Episode 56 is here slightly later than planned, but definitely worth the wait. I’ve been wanting to get Matt on for a while now, especially after following his content during my own fat loss phase and becoming genuinely interested in golf-specific training (something I still need to properly commit to ). We get into:  How Matt got into golf  His journey into fitness and how that evolved into specialising in golf performance training  Why this type of training is becoming more important for golfers of all levels Of course, we also cover:  His first set of clubs and what’s in the bag now  Where he’s based and why he made the move north  A round of This or That to finish It’s a really insightful episode, especially if you’ve ever thought about improving your game through fitness and if it sparks your interest, definitely reach out to Matt and have a chat. Massive thanks to Matt for jumping on during what is usually kids’ bedtime commitment to the pod  Looking forward to getting a round in soon… and maybe even letting him analyse just how badly my body moves  Huge thanks as always to Shot Scope use code CHASINGPARS for 15% off   Please like, share, subscribe and tell a golf mate it all helps grow the podcast Stay safe Stay humble Stay blessed
