Episode 11 - The Hill Unscripted, host Bob Kitchen blends golf inspiration with industry insight and honest gear talk — all from the heart of Maple Hill Golf.

Bob kicks off by celebrating Rory McIlroy’s win at the Irish Open and previewing the upcoming Ryder Cup, which he’s personally attending. He shares why the Ryder Cup is his favorite event in golf and reflects on what makes it so special — passion, patriotism, and no paychecks.

Then, the episode takes a meaningful turn as Bob discusses the power of personal golf milestones, like a 21-year-old golfer texting her grandpa about her first par. From breaking 100 to avoiding double bogeys, Bob reminds us that golf is personal — and every goal counts.

You’ll also hear Bob’s no-nonsense take on:

- Rising equipment prices and tariffs — how they really work, who they affect, and why brand price hikes might not be as simple as they seem

- Carbon vs. titanium driver faces — pros, cons, and how swing speed impacts performance and durability

- Shaft picks for big hitters — including advice for players with 130+ mph swing speeds on choosing the right flex and weight setup

Finally, Bob highlights what’s happening this fall at Maple Hill, including:

- The Fall Tent Sale running from September 12–30, with blowout pricing and special deals Sept. 25–27

- The Big Hole Four Person Scramble on October 12, featuring 8-inch cups, box lunches, prizes, and gift cards — all for just $100 per player

Whether you’re chasing your next milestone or looking for honest insight on the gear market, Episode 11 delivers it all with passion, perspective, and a little Maple Hill magic.
