The Follow Through Ep 5 part 1 (AUDIO): Dillon

We’ve broken Episode 5 into a two part series. In this episode, Dillon Batsel joins us to talk about a very special round of golf. But before we get to that magical round we learn a ton about the person that Dillon is, what drives him and just how passionate he is about golf. You thought you loved golf, wait until you hear Dillon talk. Dillon is a former NCAA standout at Jacksonville University in Florida. He continues to compete at a level here in Canada and has been named Player of the Year in Alberta and led the order of merit. He completed his MBA and works at the Medicine Hat College as both an instructor in the business faculty and serves as the program’s golf coach. In the summer he works as an Assistant Pros at Desert Blume Golf Club in Medicine Hat where is a sought after golf instructor. We think people will really enjoy part 1 of this episode as it sets the stage for the ultimate story that we will release next week - a blow by blow of how Dillon shot 58 (with a penalty stroke!) on a blustery Men’s Night at Desert Blume.
