    Season 2 Episode 30 - Matt Branton Coaching

    EPISODE 69 Matt Branton Coaching Get Fitter, Faster & Stronger For Golf!  Matt Branton joins me on Chasing Pars for the second time, but this episode is a little different. This time, I actually took on Matt’s coaching plan to see if I would notice a difference in my own golf and I’m happy to say I definitely have. We dive into the fitness side of golf and how improving your mobility, strength, speed and overall movement can have a genuine impact on your game. I’ll be honest… I was about as flexible as a slab of concrete  But after working on loosening up my joints, making a proper warmup part of my daily routine and generally improving my mobility, I’ve noticed a difference in my golf. More importantly, I’ve gained distance, speed and I’m now playing pain free. Matt also talks about what he offers as a coach, how he trains himself and how he approaches fitness specifically for golfers. And of course, we couldn’t get through a golf chat without touching on the Good Good / Callaway advert  Plus plenty of general golf chat, coaching, fitness and everything in between. If you’re someone looking to become fitter, faster or stronger, and want to understand how that could translate onto the golf course, this is definitely an episode for you.

    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.

    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
