Episode 13: Scott Coleman

Scott Coleman is the Golf Services Manager at Red Run Golf Club in Royal Oak, MI. He and Chris go way back to their days working together at Western Golf & Country Club in Redford. The hosts had a great discussion with Scott ranging from places of work, caddie programs, fun member and guest stories, and the Evans Scholars Foundation. There were plenty of laughs to go around. It is always interesting to learn about different aspects of golf, in this case, the finer points of working at country clubs. Scott and Chris go in-depth on the Evans Scholars Foundation, which will likely be of interest to the parents of teens who listen to The Mid Mid-Ams Podcast.

Episode 12: WITB

Chris and Jon go in depth on their respective golf bags. Both being equipment nerds, this was a fun episode to record. Though 14 clubs is all one can play with on a given day, both podcast hosts have quite a few more that don't make it in the bag each day. They describe how they got into equipment, how and why they purchase clubs, and how they dial them in. Golf balls and bags are also included in the discussion.
