Rolling with the Punches: MMA Fights and Fourball Heights

How does a professional MMA fighter go from combat to the course and find meaning in amateur golf?

In this episode of The Bag Drop: Untold Stories in Golf, host Matt Considine and co-host Dr. Kevin Moore (a.k.a. “The Professor”) sit down with Caleb Bowman (former MMA fighter & Chief Sales Officer at Solid Property Investments) to explore the more profound parallels between combat sports, competitive golf, mental discipline, and the selfless pursuit of purpose—on and off the course.

The conversation dives into:

Matt & Kevin’s long-awaited debut at the USGA Four-Ball Qualifier
Caleb’s journey from the MMA cage to the golf course
How adrenaline, fear, and mental discipline shape performance
The power of selflessness, service, and mission work
Golf as a mirror for life’s challenges and personal growth
Why minimizing mistakes—on the course and in life—creates breakthroughs
The birdie game, snacks as strategy, and the psychology of partnership play
