    Adventures in Coaching High School Golf (Season 2)

    On this episode, Ryan gets into a recap of his second season coaching high-school golf at his alma mater, Mount St. Joseph in Baltimore. It's not only a lookback on the season but also a little background into what brought him back into the MSJ community in the first place. Also, it's a bit of a PSA to encourage people to share their time, talent and joy with others. I'm going to take The 19th Hole Golf Show in a slightly different direction -- one I've thought about for years. I hope you like this podcast with a more personal feel to it, sharing the people, places and things I'm fortunate enough to experience because of golf.

    My experience at the TGL Finals

    In this episode, I look back on my experience at the SoFi Center for the first leg of the TGL Finals on Monday, pitting Tiger Woods' Jupiter Links against eventual champions Los Angeles Golf Club. What's it like in SoFi Center? What stands out? What can't you see on TV (it's a lot!)? I talk about my full experience and a trip that involved battling the flu, dreading TSA lines and more. Thanks to Hanook Tire for making this trip possible. Their team is great, and it was cool to hear why they decided to invest in the TGL prodct as a sponsor.  Subscribe to my YouTube channel ( @ryanballengeegolf ) for golf equipment news and reviews of drivers, irons, putters, shoes, bags and more.
