EPISODE 69 Matt Branton Coaching Get Fitter, Faster & Stronger For Golf!  Matt Branton joins me on Chasing Pars for the second time, but this episode is a little different. This time, I actually took on Matt’s coaching plan to see if I would notice a difference in my own golf and I’m happy to say I definitely have. We dive into the fitness side of golf and how improving your mobility, strength, speed and overall movement can have a genuine impact on your game. I’ll be honest… I was about as flexible as a slab of concrete  But after working on loosening up my joints, making a proper warmup part of my daily routine and generally improving my mobility, I’ve noticed a difference in my golf. More importantly, I’ve gained distance, speed and I’m now playing pain free. Matt also talks about what he offers as a coach, how he trains himself and how he approaches fitness specifically for golfers. And of course, we couldn’t get through a golf chat without touching on the Good Good / Callaway advert  Plus plenty of general golf chat, coaching, fitness and everything in between. If you’re someone looking to become fitter, faster or stronger, and want to understand how that could translate onto the golf course, this is definitely an episode for you.

Episode 62 is here and what a brilliant conversation this was. Joining me this week is PGA Professional Millie May Tiller, and let me tell you, Millie has the kind of personality that can brighten anyone’s day. Her energy is infectious, and I came away from this podcast in such a good mood. Millie started golf at a very young age thanks to her parents, especially her mum, who played a huge role in introducing her to the game and supporting her journey. We don’t go too deeply into it, but losing her mum has undoubtedly had a huge impact on Millie’s life. Despite that, she continues to make her mum proud through everything she achieves, both on and off the golf course, including raising money for charity in her honour. While that experience affected her competitive side for a period, don’t let that fool you. Millie may be enjoying her golf more than ever, but she’ll still do everything she can to beat you on the course. We chat about:  Competing from a young age  Turning professional at just 18  What’s in the bag  Her favourite golf courses she’s played — and yes, somehow she picked my home course in Scotland!  Her partner Jack, who is also a PGA Professional (loser does the dishes for a week after their matches)  Starting her own business and taking a gamble on herself  Our shared love of JCB and how Kate, Millie and myself are apparently buying a tractor just to get an invite All this and plenty more. Make sure you give Millie and her partner Jack a follow if you're looking for lessons. For business enquiries, Millie’s email is below, and you’ll also find details of the golf course she’s affiliated with. Go and give them a follow, like and share and let them know I sent you. https://www.instagram.com/milliemaytillyer https://www.instagram.com/jackeatongolf_?igsh=MTVzNmE3cWJ4YnI5dA== https://www.instagram.com/woolstonmanor [email protected] Huge thanks as always to Shot Scope for supporting the podcast use code CHASINGPARS for 15% off   Like  Share  Subscribe  Tell a golf mate Stay safe Stay humble Stay blessed  #ChasingPars #GolfPodcast #PGAProfessional #WomenInGolf #TheBigGolfRace

Joined by Barry Waearing (fndgolfer), current Scottish Open champion for golfers with disabilities, we dive into a conversation that goes far beyond golf. Barry lives with FND often described as “the most common uncommon condition” and while he does incredible work raising awareness everywhere he goes, this episode also reminds you that he is far more than his condition. He’s a brilliant golfer, a genuine competitor, and an even better person. We start with his incredible Scottish Open victory before getting into some deeper conversations around FND.

Episode 56 is here slightly later than planned, but definitely worth the wait. I’ve been wanting to get Matt on for a while now, especially after following his content during my own fat loss phase and becoming genuinely interested in golf-specific training (something I still need to properly commit to ). We get into:  How Matt got into golf  His journey into fitness and how that evolved into specialising in golf performance training  Why this type of training is becoming more important for golfers of all levels Of course, we also cover:  His first set of clubs and what’s in the bag now  Where he’s based and why he made the move north  A round of This or That to finish It’s a really insightful episode, especially if you’ve ever thought about improving your game through fitness and if it sparks your interest, definitely reach out to Matt and have a chat.

From a less-than-ideal start in football to a later route into golf, Craig’s journey to becoming a PGA professional is anything but typical  and that’s exactly what makes this such a great listen. Come hear Craig talk me through his unusual path into the game, how his goal was always to become a teaching pro, and how he’s now living that ambition every day. We get into:  His route into coaching and life as a PGA pro  WITB — including the brand deal with the company that should apparently never be mentioned   Why everyone should seriously consider a 7 wood  The range he works from and what day-to-day coaching looks like There’s also plenty of opinion in this one:  A proper rant about outdated club rules around ladies and juniors  Golf attire grievances  Why golf still feels behind the times in some areas  The rise of online coaching platforms like Skillest And of course, we finish with This or That and plenty more chat along the way. A brilliant conversation and one that definitely left me looking forward to getting a match arranged with Craig this summer.

These two have shared plenty over the years, junior golf, football, nights out, and now building a business together. Back in the golf world, they’ve created a product that genuinely stands out.

We get into: ⛳ Their golf journeys from junior golf through the younger years 👜 First clubs, current bags, fittings, and of course a proper WITB chat 🏠 Their home course 😅 Harrison’s absolute fear of wedges and the hole that gives him the most nightmares We also spend plenty of time talking about what makes Hydra Caddie different: 💧 Why hydration matters more than most golfers realise 🏌️ Whether pro shops are missing a trick by not leaning into products like this 🚀 Their plans for the future and where they want to take the company 📈 How long it took to launch and how well it’s already being received especially with very little paid advertising, which says a lot about the product itself As always, we wrap things up with a round of This or That and there’s plenty of good chat in between. Make sure you check out the website, support the lads, and give them a follow across social media and let them know I sent you 👏 And if you enjoy the episode, please like, share, subscribe, and tell a friend it all helps grow the podcast more than you know.

Out Here Chasing Pars – Episode 51 ft. @emhyde_golf What a guest  and what an incredible journey. Emily joins me for one of my favourite conversations yet, and her story really shows just how far golf can take you. From starting out with a plastic set of clubs in Scotland, to county golf and competing in England ladies events, Emily has built a brilliant playing career and is easily one of the most experienced golfers I’ve had the privilege of chatting to on the podcast. Now, alongside all of that, she’s also showing the world that mums can still play golf at a high level 💪 👶 Mum to a 3-month-old, you’ll already find Emily sharing videos from the driving range with her little princess — and hopefully one day we’ll see them both out on the course together. We get into: ⛳ Her golf journey from junior golf through to elite competition 👜 Clubs, equipment changes, and what’s currently in the bag 🏌️ Her role in golf through coaching and volunteering 😂 Teaching her partner to play despite once saying she’d never date a golfer 🎟️ The event at Gaudet Luce Golf Club  and everything they’re putting together there get tickets here https://www.blitzgolf.net/tickets We also talk about something much more personal: 💙 How Prostate Cancer has affected her family 🎗️ My upcoming challenge to raise money for charity because it always hits differently when it’s for someone you know There’s so much in this one, and honestly we were already planning a part two before we’d even finished recording.

Out Here Chasing Pars – Episode 52 (Special Extra Episode) ft. Kieran Mulhall Episode 52 is a special one  and with a guest like this, it only felt right to release it as an extra episode. Joining me is the man I can only describe as bringing child-like, giddy energy to everything he does Kieran Mulhall, part of the Rough Cut Golf Podcast team and one of the key faces behind the content so many of us love. This one felt a little different, because when someone from the world around Peter Finch joins you for a chat, you know you’re getting a unique insight into modern golf content. Like many people, Pete has inspired me to play more golf, create content, and even start this podcast but through watching the videos and the show, it was Kieran’s infectious personality that really stood out, so I’m genuinely grateful he gave up his time for this. We get into: ⛳ How he first got into golf 👜 A proper WITB chat including just how much fun it must be having access to all the gear they get around 😂 🎥 His journey into the role he has now — a job many golf lovers would genuinely describe as dream territory 📹 How much work really goes into every piece of content they produce (and why every creator deserves a little extra love in the form of a like and comment) We also cover: ✈️ Travel and life on the road 🎬 Content creation and creative process 🏌️ Tour pros and the wider game 🎯 A round of This or That …and plenty more along the way Honestly, Kieran is one of those guests you feel you could pick the brain of for hours. I know many of you probably already do, but make sure you give him and the team a follow if you haven’t already 👏 https://www.instagram.com/kieran_mulhall?igsh=MTB6dWM1OWEwZWo1dw== https://www.instagram.com/roughcutgolfpodcast?igsh=aGVhdjUxNjZmc2Vz Huge thanks as always to Shot Scope for supporting the podcast use code CHASINGPARS for 15% off.
