    Season 2, Episode 3 – ft. @demi_golfs

    Season 2, Episode 3 – Out Here Chasing Pars ft. @demi_golfs The latest episode is here, and I’m joined by the lovely Demi (@demi_golfs) — someone with a genuinely unique and refreshing journey into the game. Demi started with lessons before even hitting the driving range, something she still commits to, alongside practising like a mad person (her words ). She says the addiction is very real… and I believe her. She only played her first ever round on a golf course in August last year. Four months later? A 28 handicap, with an enthusiasm for golf that just keeps growing. We chat about:  Her home course — one of my favourites I’ve played in the last couple of years, so I can’t wait to head back and play with her this year  WITB — including the club she’s absolutely in love with (true love or just the honeymoon period? )  Clubs, content, courses, and goals  How we somehow end up in the Bahamas in 2027 as full-time content creators, cocktails in hand Demi is genuinely one of my favourite people to interact with on TikTok — and you should be following her too.  Give the episode a listen and make sure you show her some love. Huge thanks to Demi for giving up her time for a great chat, and as always, thank you all for listening, sharing, and supporting the podcast  #OutHereChasingPars #SeasonTwo #DemiGolfs #GolfPodcast #GolfJourney #WomensGolf #GolfCommunity #GolfLife #GolfContent #GrowTheGame

    Season 2, Episode 2 – Out Here Chasing Pars ft. Carl aka @slanjepar Episode 2 of 2026 is here, and I’m joined by Carl (@slanjepar) — someone I’ve been trying to get on the podcast for ages. Timing never quite lined up, but today he managed to park up in Perth and jump on a Zoom call with me. One day we’ll crack in-person recording properly  As always, we get into all things golf:  How Carl got into the game  My favourite topic — WITB — including his favourite club, which he’s convinced will never leave the bag  His special tour bag (you’ll want to hear why I think it’s so cool)  His very first course and his current home course  The famous par 3 where he started his channel — I genuinely can’t wait to visit  A few This or That questions to wrap things up All this and plenty more on this week’s episode. Big thanks to Carl for taking the time to join me, and as always, thank you at home for listening and supporting the show. Stay blessed, stay humble — see you next week  #ChasingPars #SeasonTwo #GolfPodcast #GolfCommunity #GolfLife

     Chasing Pars Special Episode – Talking FND with Laura (@rubbishcricketersandgolfers)

    For this special episode, I’m joined by Laura, one half of Rubbish Cricketers and Golfers, to talk a little golf — but more importantly, to help raise awareness of FND (Functional Neurological Disorder).This conversation was as much about me learning as it was about sharing information. Huge thanks to Laura for patiently educating me and answering my questions — even the ones that felt silly to ask. I really hope this episode helps anyone who knows someone living with FND, or who may be dealing with it themselves.I truly believe we can all be curious, ask questions, and learn — without being rude or intrusive. Hopefully I managed to do that here.I’m looking forward to having Laura back on with Gary in the future to talk all about their channel and, of course, more golf. But for now, I hope this episode is as interesting and eye-opening for you as it was for me, and that it helps shine a light on the realities of this condition.Thank you again to Laura for her openness and honesty — and thank you all for listening.#ChasingPars #FNDawareness #GolfWithPurpose #MentalHealthMatters #LearnWithMe

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

We chat about:  How he first got into golf  Getting back into the game because of his son  How special it’s been spending so much time together on the course  What clubs he’s using and whether he’s fitted or not  His home club Westerwood — which sounds fun, challenging, and absolutely on my list to visit Then we dive into arrons incredible new challenge since turning 50:  #50Fore50 — playing 50 different courses in a year He’s currently 4/50, with one of them being the unreal Dundonald Links… on what was probably the windiest day in Scotland this year  If you can help arron on his journey and would like to invite him to your home course, reach out to him — it would mean a lot. I’m really looking forward to seeing how his challenge unfolds. Thanks again to Arron for joining me — and good luck, mate!  Thank YOU all for being part of the growth of this podcast.
