This episode marks our first ever interview with a professional golfer. In this episode we were lucky enough to interview Neal Shipley, winner of the low am award at both The Masters and the US Open.
Neal recently turned pro after completing the low am double at Pinehurst. He talks us through his journey with collegiate golf, compares Augusta vs Pinehurst, and explains what was going through his head when he played with Tiger in the final round at The Masters.
Neal is one of the most fun young guys to watch on tour and I had a blast chatting with him. This is a special one!

I typically bring a new guest on the show to learn about their golf journey, but this week I had Matt interview me about my first time breaking 80. We go hole by hole and talk through the roller coaster of emotions that come along with a 10 handicap shooting 74.
This was a really fun one to record, hopefully parts of this resonate with my mid/high handicappers out there!
