  1. Chevy #10 - Daniel Dye

    Chevy #10 - Daniel Dye

    Golf carts don’t really don’t cut it for Daniel. Too slow, and not enough torque. But, the man knows how to get it around the track on weekends. Daniel Dye is here this week to chop it up a bit about his early career in racing and his low-key love for golf. We get into some fast talk out the gate while hearing the story of his dad owning Roberto Clemente’s car that he drove to the airport before the plane crash. The car gets uncovered every 21st of the month, and it’s clear that cars and racing is in his DNA. He fills us in on life on the track and what a race means to him. We get a look inside the weekend and how the operations run when it's race time…like a 14-second four-tire change and refuel. We talk about road rage and what that means to him on a normal road.  We turn the episode over to some golf talk and hear why he flies himself to Pinehurst on the reg. Different type of episode on Chasin’ Birdies today but it’s a great one. Tune in, share, like, or not, but either way, thanks for the support.  Key Links: Visit redvanly.com for great golf apparel now repped by Chasin’ Birdies. Stay tuned for more info on winning custom headcovers from WinstonCollection.comOur Tap-in segment is sponsored by Bettinardi GolfPartners with Nemacolin Resort.  ----- Follow Chasin’ Birdies on Instagram @chasin_birdies.

  2. Spring Chasin’

    Spring Chasin’

    We think people who aren’t into golf don’t necessarily understand the grueling nature of a Member-Guest tournament. To make the shoot out is one goal, but to win it all ties in luck and straight puke-driven guts. That’s what happened to Mr. Pepe and Mr. Katzeff in the recent Pelican Golf Club Member-Guest. We open up and give Pep a big congrats and hear the story from him. We revisit the recent Pine Needles Invitational that took place a few weeks ago with none of us making the cut..again. To twist it up a bit, we phone a friend and request Brandon Katzeff join in to tell his side of the story since he won the Member-Guest after 6 months of joining the club. What does that look like from a club perspective?  We touch on the PGA Tour and the first ‘non’ major of the year kicking off this weekend: The Players. Who you got? We round out the episode with some more banter and fun talks. Tune in, share, listen, and chase spring (and golf) with us. It’s just about that time.

    Officially Official - Mike “Sonny” Kollet

    If you haven’t seen Sonny do his work on social media, you’re missing out. We sat down with Mike “Sonny” Kollet to chop it up a bit about his social media presence, golf topics, and banter about other odds n’ ends. Tune in and give this one a listen! It’s worth your time.  fter a quick 7 minute intro with just us, we get to the heart of this episode by introducing Sonny as our guest on today’s episode of Chasin’ Birdies. We open up the episode and dive into how he got started making the hilarious videos (Officiallysonny, IG) that have caught fire as of late. After getting burnt out by the golf industry, Sonny turns his attention to creating content full time. We get into some golf talk and chat about the ongoing battle between the PGA Tour and LIV. We continue down this path and end on a good subject: Night golf. With humor thrown in, we get into the game today and how it’s being taught to the youth golfers with an emphasis on speed.  We talk about the content Sonny creates and how it’s 100% relatable to all golfers and the humor aspect that it brings. We turn the episode over to our standard tap-in segment where we ask Sonny 4 questions that demand his response. This episode is entertaining, relevant, and will keep you interested. Might be our first episode ever to do this. Tune in now, share, like, or not, but regardless, we hope you enjoy this one! And give Sonny a follow!

    A One-Armed Journey - Alex Fourie

    Alex Fourie joins us on this week’s episode of Chasin’ Birdies. You may have read about Alex in Golf Digest or have seen his story on Golf Channel. Today, we get a closer look at his story and his love for golf.  We open up the episode and dive into his early life. After being introduced to golf at a young age, he realized the passion he had could not be stopped by anything, not even one arm.  Alex continues to defy the odds in the game and has now been hired as the Head Pro at the 500-Club in North Carolina. Currently sitting as the #2 one-arm golfer in the country, it’s no surprise for him to fire rounds in the 60s. He plays competitively in the adaptive open led by the USGA and aims to eventually play in a PGA Tour event.  We talk about the direction golf is headed and how it impacts people from all walks of life. This humbling, uplifting episode will leave you motivated to play more and appreciate more.  We end the episode with our standard tap-in segment where Alex is asked a few questions that demand his response. Tune in, share, and listen to someone who plays golf a little differently than you.  Key Links: Visit redvanly.com for great golf apparel now repped by Chasin’ Birdies. Stay tuned for more info on winning custom headcovers from WinstonCollection.comOur Tap-in segment is sponsored by Bettinardi GolfPartners with Nemacolin Resort.  ----- Follow Chasin’ Birdies on Instagram @chasin_birdies.

    Growing The Game - Nathalie Sheehan

    We love having guests on the show who stay chasin’ when it comes to their dreams. This is exactly our guest today as we sit down with Nathalie Sheehan and hear her story from growing up on the ice to now becoming one of golf’s premier instructors in 2025.  We open up the episode and get right into the PGA Show which kicks off next week. Unfortunately, we can’t make it, but maybe we’ll set some time aside for 2026. She gives us a look inside her journey with golf and getting where she is today. We touch on the technology aspect of golf and how that helps in teaching. It’s apparent that her passion for teaching doesn’t stop with adults, but kids, too.  We get into some tournament talk and what the nerves feel like in that round compared to a normal round with your friends. We chatted a bit about the short game and how it’s imperative for lowering your score, even if you’re a weekend golfer. We discuss managing emotions on the course and why visualization is key.  We round out the episode with a cool caddy story from Augusta and her role with the golf channel. Any future broadcasting gigs??? We end the episode with our standard tap-in segment where we ask her four questions that demand her quick response..although one response wasn’t so quick. Tune in, share, and listen to a rising star!  Key Links: Visit redvanly.com for great golf apparel now repped by Chasin’ Birdies. Stay tuned for more info on winning custom headcovers from WinstonCollection.comOur Tap-in segment is sponsored by Bettinardi GolfPartners with Nemacolin Resort.  ----- Follow Chasin’ Birdies on Instagram @chasin_birdies.

  6. New Year, Same Us

    JAN 9

    New Year, Same Us

    This week’s episode is just a start to the New Year. We have a lot of good talk revolving around golf and the holiday season. We debate when is too early in the year to take a golf trip or when is it too late?  We just got back from a quick trip to the Sunshine State where we pegged it up for 3 days and got into some talks around that. This light hearted banter episode brings us back to the roots of this show and its fitting for the first drop of the year.  We dive into the state of the PGA Tour and other talks surrounding golf and sports in general. We finish this off with a Birdie Count challenge that runs the full year. Can you keep track of yours? Tune in, sit back, and let us know what you think. We’ll be back sooner than later with more guests and more fun talks.  Key Links: Visit redvanly.com for great golf apparel now repped by Chasin’ Birdies. Stay tuned for more info on winning custom headcovers from WinstonCollection.comOur Tap-in segment is sponsored by Bettinardi GolfPartners with Nemacolin Resort.  ----- Follow Chasin’ Birdies on Instagram @chasin_birdies.

  7. Four Ball Talk - Q School Junkie & a Sez

    Four Ball Talk - Q School Junkie & a Sez

    We’re ending the year on a bang. And we can’t thank you enough for the support we’ve had this year. Now, looking ahead to 2025, we can’t wait to keep bringing some good episodes. But for now, we’re joined by two long-lost friends. For context, Sez works for FootJoy, and Sully (Ryan Sullivan) plays at the Pro level and is a Monday Q junkie. We felt it was good to have the boys on and join us on what would typically be our ‘banter’ session. But today, it’s four ball (or 8).  We break open the episode and get right into it with some background on what these two do. Sully can’t keep himself off the golf course, and Sez is just looking for another Member-Guest to get in on. We hear some stories about the two of them and their golfing addiction, which naturally pairs well with us! Sully tells us a story of his time playing with Donald Trump. It’s a funny story and warrants a listen...other than the fact he lost the autographed scorecard from DJT himself.  Sez breaks open with a story of caddying for Michael Jordan. We chop it up a bit and really have no purpose for this episode other than for a good time and some good laughs. We hope you tune in, listen, share, or whatever your heart desires. We look forward to bringing you some more episodes in 2025!  Key Links: Visit redvanly.com for great golf apparel now repped by Chasin’ Birdies. Stay tuned for more info on winning custom headcovers from WinstonCollection.comOur Tap-in segment is sponsored by Bettinardi GolfPartners with Nemacolin Resort.  ----- Follow Chasin’ Birdies on Instagram @chasin_birdies.

    3 Cups at the 19th Hole - Patty Maroon

    We’re back this week on Chasin’ Birdies with a fresh one. Patty Maroon sits down with us as we dive into a wide variety of topics. Opening up the episode, after our 7-minute banter intro, we get into some golf talk out the gate, with Mr. Maroon sportin’ a nice Pine Valley cap. The conversation bleeds into the NHL world, and we hear some stories of his time in St. Louis, Tampa, and now Chicago. With his down-to-earth personality, it’s fun to hear stories about the Stanley Cup and his quest for a 4th cup in a row..wtf.  Pelican Golf Club in Tampa is a spot we’re lucky to play. We tell some stories about times at Pelican and hear about the experience Patty had playing Augusta AND Pine Valley in the same year…the Brad Faxon story is epic. Bet that doesn’t happen too often.  We turn over the episode to round out some more banter and small talk about pretty much anything. We touch on the rowdy fight in Scottsdale with Biz Nasty and what the hell that was all about. We end the episode with our standard tap-in segment, where we ask Patty 5 questions that demand his quick response. Tune in, share, like, or dislike. The choice is yours, but we think you’ll like this one.  Key Links: Visit redvanly.com for great golf apparel now repped by Chasin’ Birdies. Stay tuned for more info on winning custom headcovers from WinstonCollection.comOur Tap-in segment is sponsored by Bettinardi GolfPartners with Nemacolin Resort.  ----- Follow Chasin’ Birdies on Instagram @chasin_birdies.
