Once in a Lifetime - #220

Disruption seems to be the theme of golf's current events these days. In this episode, Keith talks to the Founder and CEO of the Golf News Net. Ryan Ballengee spent his career working for The Golf Channel, NBC Sports and SB Nation. In that time, he learned through hard work and experience what it takes to build a reliable digital brand in golf.
His amazing online golf resource (GNN) covers all aspects of the game. This designer of a digital golf media platform knows what it means to engage the consumer. His opinion on all things LIV and otherwise is very valuable. Ryan was a part of the Back 9 Network when it tried to challenge the Golf Channel. 
As media goes in golf so does this authentic golf storyteller. Join Keith and Ryan as they cover the most popular stories in golf today starting with LIV Golf in NJ. Their conversation goes until the end of the show as the golf world evolves before our eyes. 
Ryan's fresh and bright perspective really makes this an essential episode to help keep you informed of what's going on and more importantly, what might be next.

In My Life - #217

The PGA Tour travels to Scotland for two weeks and so does the ProShow. Two men join the show from across the pond. The first is Jerry Sarvadi, the CEO of the Renaissance Club. The venue for this week's Genesis Scottish Open. His family story of building this fantastic golf destination is perfectly paired with his insights on the course and what we all can expect this week. 
Following Jerry, Sam Bairstow joins Keith. Sheffield England's amateur golf superstar was runner-up in the British Amateur last month. He's currently playing in the European Amateur Team Championships and next week will tee it up in the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews.

She Works Hard for the Money - #216

It's another show on location, this time in Washington DC. Keith is covering the KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Congressional Country Club. The ladies third major of 2022 has an amazing field. The first round had some serious fireworks. Not to be outdone, the PGA Tour is going low in Connecticut as well.  Rory leads that event after one round. 
Keith is joined by a player from the KPMG, Alisa Rodriguez. Alisa qualified for the Women's PGA last year and spoke to Keith that week so when she qualified for 2022, we just had to have her back. The spirited young PGA Apprentice can seriously golf her ball. 
Together they discuss qualifying, Congressional, her job and playing on the Epson Tour. How doe she balance it all, listen and learn. It's not every day we can chat with a major championship competitor. The insights she gives are refreshing and educational. 
The Weekly Update: Grayson Murray on Twitter, Mike Whan responds on social and a Caddie wins his first major.
