Customer Reviews
Pro golf’s mental health reckoning
This was an insightful episode to hear about athletes/golfers experiences with their mental health. While the intro captures both female and male athletes mental health challenges, the episode focuses on pro male golfers and their experiences. It would be great to follow up this episode up with female pro golfers/athletes experiences too.
Really enjoying the pod
The “Crash Course Golf Overhaul” episode was really great. Gives some of us older golfers hope that the clock can be turned back a little with some proper instruction and dedication.
Great title and content to match
I listen to many golf podcasts but this return to the home of Golf
Podcast has me writing a “thumps up” and first ever review.
First took notice of Local Knowledge with the lead up to the US Open. Looking forward to the crew’s next exploits.
