The podcast network for serious golfers. TalkinGolf launched as an online audio show way back before podcasts (or even the iPhone) were a thing. We've been on an extended break since 2012 but now we're back and creating new and interesting content each week as well as a sprinkling of some of the best stuff from the archives.

Customer Reviews
Always something new in golf history
Connor Lewis brings interesting stories and people to the podcast, revealing so much more than the standard fare found in traditional golf magazines. Each podcast is well researched and well done!
Brilliant!
Love this podcast. Love this episode as much as any. A brilliant interview of a brilliant person about a brilliant game!
Great except for the SJW nonsense
I love this show. I would be perfect but for the SJW nonsense the show sometimes feels compelled to include. I have to turn it off when that happens. Case in point the rise and fall of golf in America podcast. You know what I’m saying.
