    Golf Stories, Podcasting, & Good Company: The Origin Story of BestBall

    On this special episode of The Hole Story Podcast, Robby and Jonathan take a break from their usual guest interviews to reflect on their own journeys in golf, entrepreneurship, and friendship. The duo share the story of how they first met selling copiers, bonded over cold calls, and eventually teamed up to revive the BestBall brand. They reminisce about their earliest (and humblest) experiences on the course, the evolution of The Hole Story Podcast, and their favorite memories from hosting over a hundred episodes—including unexpected guest highlights and unforgettable golf trips from Scotland to Pinehurst. Robby and Jonathan also pull back the curtain on what drives their passion for golf, why relationships matter most, and how the BestBall community continues to shape their dreams for the future. Whether you’re a longtime listener or a newcomer, this candid conversation is filled with laughter, shared aspirations, and a love for the game that keeps them coming back for more. So grab your iced tea, settle in, and enjoy the ride with two best friends who prove that every round—just like every podcast episode—is best enjoyed in good company.

    Inside Nebraska’s Golf Boom: Courses, Junior Programs, and Must-Play Spots w/ BRETT RENNER

    This week, Robby and Jonathan are joined by Brett Renner from the Nebraska PGA Section for a deep dive into the surprisingly vibrant world of Nebraska golf. You might think “flat and cold” when you hear Nebraska, but Brett’s here to set the record straight—Nebraska is packed with hidden gems, offering everything from rugged sandhills retreats to challenging links-style public tracks like Landmand and Indian Creek. Brett shares his unconventional journey from broadcasting hopeful to full-time promoter of Nebraska golf, giving us a peek behind the scenes at how the game is exploding across the state—yes, even with that short Midwestern season. The trio swaps travel stories, discusses must-play courses for your Nebraska itinerary, and lets you in on why places like Prairie Club and Sand Hills continue to top bucket lists (even if they take a five-hour drive to reach). You’ll hear about Brett’s most memorable golf shots (and, okay, some not-so-glorious moments), the unique camaraderie and growth happening in Nebraska’s junior golf scene, and why golf here is so much more than a game—it’s about people, community, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re chasing albatrosses or just love great golf stories, you won’t want to miss this one. Grab your clubs—and maybe a breakfast sandwich—because you just might end up booking a trip to Nebraska after this episode! https://nebraskapga.com/https://www.instagram.com/nebgolf/BestBall Links: •https://BestBall.com •https://linktr.ee/BestBall •https://bestball.substack.com - Subscribe to Par 3 Thursdays!

    Shaping the Game: The JACKSON KAHN GOLF COURSE DESIGN Story

    In this episode of The Hole Story Podcast, Jonathan and Robby tee off with renowned golf course architects Tim Jackson and David Kahn of Jackson Kahn Golf Course Design—a team whose work has become the stuff of every golfer’s bucket list. From creating some of the most exhilarating modern courses to redesigning beloved classics, Tim and David share the inside scoop on what it really takes to craft courses that are as fun as they are challenging. You'll hear about the inspiration behind the legendary Bad Little Nine at Scottsdale National, the unique challenges and rewards of building a course from scratch versus working with natural landscapes, and why making a course playable and enjoyable is always at the heart of their design philosophy. The conversation also digs into what makes a golf course memorable—not just for low handicappers, but for every golfer looking to find joy (and maybe a little humility) in every round. https://www.jacksonkahndesign.com/ BestBall Links: •https://BestBall.com •https://linktr.ee/BestBall •https://bestball.substack.com - Subscribe to Par 3 Thursdays!
