Golf Podcasts: What are you listening to?

I’m a full on NLU fan boy, especially for their video content (Tourist sauce and strapped in particular). I also enjoy The Fried Egg and the Golfers Journal offerings

I like Shotgun Start, but too many to keep up with and enjoy other pods.

Can someone give me the elevator pitch for Chasing Scratch? Seen it pop up a few times and would love to know if it’s worth catching up or not

My podcast list includes Golf Science Lab, the Golficity podcast and the 18 Strong podcast for golf fitness. Another good one is On the Mark Golf Podcast with Mark Immelman.

A good golf adjacent podcast is the Secrets to Winning with Dr. Brett McCabe. It looks at the mental side of sports in general, not just golf.

I love Cordie and Golf Science lab. Such a great podcast, and such good information.

It’s 2 guys in their late thirties who went to college together… they are recording their attempts to get to 0.0 handicaps, and we are 3 seasons in… They tend to get in their own way in both their quest and the podcast…

I think it’s a very particular brand of humor… if you like references to late 80s-2000s pop culture (they are BIG Seinfeld fans) and hearing two guys talk about golf in the real world, it’s a great listen… Honestly, my recommendation on it is the same as the TV show Justified. Listen to the first podcast (watch the first show)… if it doesn’t tickle your fancy, there is no further to go… Both improve and change over time, but if you don’t enjoy the first episode, I’m not sure it will grow on you.

Adam Young is featured on the podcast a few times… I’m not sure how it makes him feel about his teachings… They launch Adam Way and have Adam music to play, mostly to apologize to Adam for ignoring his advice… @Adamyounggolf

It’s honestly one of my favorite podcasts. Mike and Eli seem to be genuinely enjoying themselves while also taking the “quest” seriously… but they have a habit of going off onto tangents and getting distracted by things like “becoming coffee guys”. They don’t have a ton of episodes, and I’m actually impressed at the audio quality and editing done on their show. It’s not a serious podcast, but it’s very enjoyable… I’d highly recommend trying it out.

Excellent pitch, sold by the fact you are also a justified fan (one of my favorite shows) so it gets added to the playlist. Thanks!

Let me know how you like it… my username here is from the podcast… it’s become a running joke there

I like “On the Mark with Mark Immelman.” I tend to like content that is more holistic, and not all about technique or equipment, but more about the mental game and strategy (like this forum)!

Interested in some of the others you all have mentioned. I didn’t realize golfers journal had one. Thy sounds interesting to me.

I also just started the putting couch by the SeeMore putting guys. Pretty obsessed with putting right now…

I second those who mentioned Golf Science Lab and On the Mark.

I also like:

Golf Smarter for the variety of content and interviews.

Fit for Golf as I love learning from Mike

Tour Coach with Tony Ruggiero, another Cordie Walker production that dives into some interesting tour player topics

Edel Golf: A recent beginning but I like hearing all about my putter

I forgot fit for golf! I’ve been a Mackenzie Hughes fan since he was on it.

Absolutely, he was a great guest for sure! In fact, that episode is worth a listen even if you don’t subscribe.

You know @jon, it might be nice to have a page on the site with a curated list of books and podcasts. Probably something this community can help with.

If each entry has a little opinion based description it’d be a highly valuable resource, not to mention have the possibility of driving more traffic your way.

My favs: NoLayingUp, Get a Grip, The Fried Egg, On the Mark (depending on guest), Feed the Ball, GolfWRX podcasts (depends on topic/guest), Earn Your Edge…I need more time to listen! This COVID travel ban has drastically cut into my listening time.

I’ve listened to almost all of the Golf Science podcasts. Nice shows Jon. Started the Chasing Par but never finished. Have had lots of time listening to podcast while walking during the pandemic. Just passed over 3200 miles and my dog hates me now…

Beside a few that have already been mentioned, I listen to every episode of the SeeMore Putting Couch.

Sounds like I am in the minority…but I dislike podcasts.
I wish they would just convert them to printed format. Now when I was working and spent a lot of time in the car…listening might have worked. But, I can read and watch sports at the same time and my wife is in the room and I have to use ear buds. Plus when I’m reading i can just read the parts I want. Why can’t they do both audio and print version?

Fried Egg! If it is too rainy to golf then geek out on (for me) a course I could never imagine playing.

No laying is the popular choice but fairway rollin keeps me balanced. House is always excited to talk people up and keep it positive!

You all are missing the #1 Golf podcast out there, Fore Play! By the common man, for the common man!

I try to stick to Podcasts of people who might know more about the game than me.

I am far too polite to specifically point out which Podcasts, fall short of that requirement, but a bunch out there do🤓

It’s just entertainment man, no need to take it so seriously. I enjoy most of the podcasts listed and enjoy the technical aspects of them (especially MSG’s No Putts Given). To me too many take this game more seriously than they should. Remember, it’s a game, to be enjoyed, by all.
