    Season 2, Episode 1 – Welcome to 2026 ft. Niall (@JoinSkratchr)

    We’re back. Welcome to Season 2 of Out Here Chasing Pars — and what a way to kick things off. For the first episode of the new series, I’m joined by Niall from Skratchr. Raised in Dublin, and now living near London, Niall shares his journey into golf — including saving up for his first set of clubs (I’ve forgiven him for the brand choice ). We get into:  How he got into golf  WITB — and why he believes a putter fitting is absolutely vital  His home course… and yes, everyone has a nemesis hole  His passion for the game and the creation of Skratchr — go check it out at the links below and show him some support. If this takes off like I think it can, it could be massive for the golf community Sign up here for waiting list: Www.skratchr.com/waitlist There’s also plenty of general golf chat — and anyone who knows me knows I don’t shut up once I get going  Incredible to have Niall on the show, and I’m really looking forward to welcoming him back once his project is fully underway.

    BONUS Chasing Pars – Fitness Special ft. Gav Sorley (@gavsorleycoaching)

    Out Here Chasing Pars – Fitness Special ft. Gav Sorley (@gavsorleycoaching) For this special episode, I’m joined by my friend and coach Gav Sorley, and this one goes a bit beyond golf — into fitness, mindset, and real-life change. I wanted Gav on the show to talk about:  His journey from office job to fitness coach  His football background (goalkeeper… that still counts, right? )  Why he started, where the passion came from, and what drives him now  How much he invests in himself through education — funny how he loves learning now when school was a different story  We also get into:  The advantages of online coaching  Tips on what to look for if you’re starting your own fitness journey  Where people often go wrong — and how to avoid it  Gav’s own comedic golf story and whether he could ever see himself becoming a golfer …and as always, we venture off down a few different avenues along the way I don’t praise him enough, but Gav is the main reason I went from 136kg down to 83kg. I’m back working with him over winter now, getting ready for the next golf season — and I couldn’t recommend him more. Give Gav a follow — he might just motivate you to start a journey of your own  More fantastic golf content coming very soon… thanks as always for listening and supporting the podcast  #ChasingPars #GolfFitness #FitnessJourney #MindsetMatters #HealthyLifestyle
