    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.

    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

    Season 2 Episode 16 - PGA Pro Craig Dickie

    From a less-than-ideal start in football to a later route into golf, Craig’s journey to becoming a PGA professional is anything but typical  and that’s exactly what makes this such a great listen. Come hear Craig talk me through his unusual path into the game, how his goal was always to become a teaching pro, and how he’s now living that ambition every day. We get into:  His route into coaching and life as a PGA pro  WITB — including the brand deal with the company that should apparently never be mentioned   Why everyone should seriously consider a 7 wood  The range he works from and what day-to-day coaching looks like There’s also plenty of opinion in this one:  A proper rant about outdated club rules around ladies and juniors  Golf attire grievances  Why golf still feels behind the times in some areas  The rise of online coaching platforms like Skillest And of course, we finish with This or That and plenty more chat along the way. A brilliant conversation and one that definitely left me looking forward to getting a match arranged with Craig this summer.
