This week I’m joined by arron from Nothing to Zero, and we kick things off with a golf intro that’s a bit different to most.
We chat about:
How he first got into golf
Getting back into the game because of his son
How special it’s been spending so much time together on the course
What clubs he’s using and whether he’s fitted or not
His home club Westerwood — which sounds fun, challenging, and absolutely on my list to visit
Then we dive into arrons incredible new challenge since turning 50:
#50Fore50 — playing 50 different courses in a year
He’s currently 4/50, with one of them being the unreal Dundonald Links… on what was probably the windiest day in Scotland this year
If you can help arron on his journey and would like to invite him to your home course, reach out to him — it would mean a lot.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how his challenge unfolds.
Thanks again to Arron for joining me — and good luck, mate!
Thank YOU all for being part of the growth of this podcast. I couldn’t do this without your ears and your support.

Despite the name, Peter is neither grumpy nor old — and this turned into a brilliant chat.
A lefty who started as a junior before drifting away (as so many do), Peter actually found himself playing high-level cricket and football for years. Golf only returned to his life just before Covid, becoming the perfect way to stay active with far fewer injuries.
We dive into:
His home club and what keeps him coming back
WITB — and yes, he’s definitely a one-brand fanboy
The putter he games… which just happens to be the one I want to try
How GOGGS started and where the society is heading
The future of their content and community
All this and plenty more — a great listen with one of the GOGGS lads.
Make sure you follow them at the links below… and tell them I sent you!

Episode 25 – Out Here Chasing Pars ft. Leigh & Ben aka @Twin2Win_Golf
Episode 25 is here — and it’s a long one! Honestly, I could’ve chatted for hours with these two. Twin brothers Leigh and Ben join me to dive into golf, content creation, and their growing podcast journey.
We get into:
Their very different paths into the game
A bit of classic WITB chat
What club they’d choose tomorrow if they could pick any in the world
“The putter picks the player — the player doesn’t pick the putter” (iykyk)
Their home course
How they got into creating content
Why they decided to start their own golf podcast
How impressive their quality is already — the video editing alone is fantastic (yes, I’m slightly jealous )
We also touch on:
Pro golf
General golf chat
And wrap it up with a round of This or That
Make sure you follow the lads and check out their podcast — tell them I sent you!

Episode 24 – Out Here Chasing Pars ft. Steven Chandler, The Golfing Butcher
This was genuinely one of my favourite chats so far. Steven — The Golfing Butcher — joins me to talk all things golf, content, and community.
We kick things off with the classics:
How he first got into golf
What’s in the bag
His original Slazenger V300 package set
We dive into:
How cheap golf can really be — including Steven’s challenge where he tried to get everything he needed to play for under £50… and then attempt to break 50 on the front 9 at his home course. (Should I try this challenge too?)
His passion for his home club Hadden Hill — a place that should be proud to have him representing it. Honestly, he made me want to travel down and play it myself… and that’s exactly why I started this podcast in the first place.
His content journey
The new people, friendships, and connections he’s made through golf
Why the golf community truly is the best — and I absolutely stand by that
All this and so much more — so put the kettle on, grab a biscuit, and strap in for a brilliant conversation

Time for something a little different…

So for this episode, I handed the reins over to my content partner Kieran from KMG and let him host.
We dive into:
My journey through courses over the years
The hundreds of clubs I’ve zig-zagged my way through
How big this podcast can grow and where it’s heading
A bit of YouTube Internet Invitational chatter
… and plenty more along the way
A fun, honest chat from the other side of the mic — come give it a listen!

His football career — and the horrific injury that cut it short (sorry, Dundee fans )
Getting back into golf and rediscovering the love for the game
His club fitting and what’s in the bag
Starting Doozy Golf and bringing a refreshing perspective to golf content

Episode 22 – Out Here Chasing Pars ft. Stu (@StuTalksGolf)
This week I’m joined by StuTalksGolf, member of Nottleys Essex, where it’s no mats on the fairway and temp greens only when absolutely needed
We chat about:
His Swiss Army knife of clubs — that hybrid he uses for everything! What’s your go-to club like that?
A classic WITB — and yes, he’s still gaming his original clubs (sensible if you ask me!)
The Rife package set — have you tried them?
The Trust golf ball — ever heard of it? We share our thoughts
How he started creating content a year ago and built his golf podcast, available on Spotify and (most importantly) YouTube
His brilliant series TeeTalk — a fantastic concept you should definitely check out (Episode 1 is live now!)
Where he wants to be in 12 months if we have this conversation again
And of course, a fun round of Golf This or That to finish it off

Episode 21 – Out Here Chasing Pars ft. Mr Ross Bell
This one is special.
Without Ross, this podcast might not even exist. He got me into podcasting years ago, I’m still part of his team today — and he was the one who pushed me to start this show. He even handles the editing and uploading so I can just record and run the socials. Legend 👏
In this episode we talk about:
🎧 How Ross first got into podcasting
🏌️♂️ When & why he started golfing
🪓 Hoarding clubs — if you think I’m bad, wait until you hear how many sets he’s owned 🤯
🌍 Courses around him & his favourites so far
📍 Bucket-list courses he wants to play
🧠 The importance of golf & golf with friends for mental health — or in Ross’ words: “Golf is good for the soul.”
All that and plenty more — a great chat with the guy who helped make this podcast possible.

This week, two worlds collide…

We dive into:
How Craig got started in podcasting
The opportunities it’s opened up for him
What’s next on his journey
His new darts podcast — why he launched it and where you can find it

Hugely grateful to Hannah for giving up her time for an in-depth chat covering her journey in golf and the work she’s doing to make the game more inclusive.
We talk about:
Her intro to golf & turning pro at a young age
Why she plays less now as a full-time coach (would you do your job as a hobby? )
Coaching in areas with no pros — making golf more accessible
Her mission to help underprivileged players & those with disabilities get into the game
Being an Advanced PGA Professional with a genuine focus on inclusivity
The pros & cons of being young in the golf industry and dealing with perceptions
Golf can be expensive — but as Hannah says, it should be inclusive.
If you’re near Wales and looking for coaching, tell her you heard about her from me
