  • Updated Weekly

Two hosts, one game, and a massive skill gap. Unqualified Caddie is a Scottsdale golf podcast hosted by a scratch golfer and a biomechanics coach who is genuinely terrible at golf. One of us can break down a swing fault from fifty yards away. The other one thinks a mulligan is a type of ravioli. Each week we sit down with golfers, teaching pros, and other experts around the Scottsdale and Phoenix golf scene to talk swing mechanics, the best and worst moment of Scottsdale golf, and the mental side of the game, but the real gold is the origin story every golfer has and nobody asks about: their worst day on the links. The shanked approach in front of the club champion. The three putt that ended a marriage (allegedly). The round so bad it almost ended the sport for them. This is not a stats and swing tips podcast, though you will pick up plenty of both. It is a show built on golf culture, Scottsdale golf courses, biomechanics, and the humbling, hilarious relationship every golfer has with a sport that hates them personally. If you love golf, hate golf, or just love hearing golfers suffer out loud, you are in the right fairway. New episodes drop weekly. Scottsdale golf insiders, weekend hackers, and golf-curious movement nerds welcome.

    2: Kevin Masterson on His Worst Day in Golf and What the Pros Taught Him

    Kevin Masterson joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation about golf in Scottsdale and beyond, and things get honest fast. Kevin walks Carson and Nate through the game from every angle: what keeps people obsessed with golf, what it takes to actually get better, and the lessons he picked up watching and learning from professional golfers along the way. Then comes the part every golfer dreads and secretly loves talking about: his worst day on the course. No detail spared. If you've ever had a round fall apart in front of people who were watching, you'll feel this one in your chest. This episode is for golfers in Scottsdale and Phoenix looking for real talk about the game, not another swing-tip video. Kevin, Carson, and Nate dig into golf strategy, mental game, course management, and the humbling moments that make this sport what it is. Whether you play the top Scottsdale golf courses every weekend or you're just getting into the game, this conversation has something for you. New episodes of Unqualified Caddie drop weekly. Scottsdale golf fans, weekend hackers, and anyone who has ever three-putted in front of a stranger, this one's for you.

    1. The Best Golf Courses in Scottsdale (According to a Guy Who Actually Knows and a Guy Who Doesn't)

    We're kicking things off the only way that makes sense: Carson and Nate arguing about where to play golf in Scottsdale. Carson's a scratch golfer who's walked every fairway in the Valley. Nate's a movement and biomechanics coach who can tell you exactly why your hips aren't rotating right but has no idea what "target-rich" means on a scorecard. This episode is a rundown of the most fun courses in Scottsdale, the ones locals actually love, the ones tourists overpay for, and the handful that are worth the hype. Expect strong opinions, some correcting of Nate's terminology, and a real answer to the question everyone visiting Scottsdale asks: where do I actually play? If you're planning a golf trip to Scottsdale, or you live here and want a local's take instead of a top-ten list written by someone who's never set foot in the desert, this one's for you
