Ep2 - Interview with Freddie MacArthur (elite amateur golfer) - Golf Social Podcast Episode 2

In the second episode under our new brand, Golf Social (formerly The Roll Up Golf Podcast), Michael interviews full time, plus 4 handicap golfer Freddie MacArthur (@freddiemac_golf on TikTok), to give our listeners an insight on what it takes to become an elite golfer, and what it's like being one in 2023.

Our aim with the Golf Social podcast is 'Sharing the stories of people who love golf', we hope you enjoy the episode!

With Freddie we kick off with our quickfire "ParBreakers", and then we cover:

What's it like being a full time elite amateur golfer in 2023
Freddie's progression from being a county golfer, continuing to progress at the University of Leicester and University of Stirling
Freddie's ambitions for his future in golf
Why Freddie started his TikTok and maintaining focus on getting better at golf, rather than social media
The areas Freddie thinks he has to improve to move up to the next level
The important of swing speed and distance for young amateur golfers pursuing professional golf
Advice for parents of elite junior golfers on the importance of elite golf coaching at a young age
The importance of structured practice as an elite golfer
The role money plays in giving opportunities to maximise a golfer's potential
The technical changes Freddie made to get more swing speed (including shifting weight off his front side)
The impact playing short, local courses can have on an elite amateur's development
A debate on talent vs hard work in elite golf
Freddie's experience at regional and final Open qualifying at Hollinwell, playing with Oliver Wilson and Robert Rock

And we discuss our topic of the week - "How to handle first tee nerves?" where Freddie talks us through a video of him teeing off at final open qualifying and how he handles nerves and pressure on the golf course.
