    Episode 68 is here with Scott Clelland! This week’s guest has had one of the most fascinating journeys we’ve had on the podcast. Did he have chasing the dream of playing professional golf? No but he knew he wanted to work in golf to now working for one of the biggest brands in golf with Wilson, Scott has certainly found his calling. A self confessed golf tech geek, Scott spends his time fitting golfers, travelling Europe, and working in and around tour trucks. If you love talking equipment, this one’s for you! We get into:  Scott’s journey through golf and where it all began  The twists and turns that led him to his dream career  A little WITB chat  Club fitting and why it matters  What golf he plays now  The psychology of golf Scott asks some brilliant questions that really make you think about your own game  Twin boys, sibling rivalry… and just how competitive is too competitive?   And of course, we finish with a game of This or That Oh… and somewhere along the way, Chasing Pars officially became the DODcast!  You’ll need to listen to understand that one! A huge thank you to Scott for giving up his time. If you’re looking for a Wilson fitting, coaching, or just have questions about equipment, he’s definitely the man to speak to.  Like  Share  Subscribe  Tell a golf mate Huge thanks to Shot Scope for continuing to support the podcast.

    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
