Faded Golf Podcast

PGA Gambling, Player Comparisons, Mental Game, Decade, and more.  Lots to cover and we didn't really get to everything we missed over the last 4 months.  Thanks for listening!

Happy New Year!  Here's to hoping 2021 gets better as we go.  Cheers!!!

If we've learned anything during this pandemic, it's that people behaviors continue to change, and depending on where you live the government has varying trust in you for how to navigate the pandemic.  A little bit of golf talk in here, but Jon and I have a good back in forth on the state of things in America. 

Somewhat of a miscellaneous episode.  Let us know your thoughts on the random topics.  Cheers!

Thanks for listening everyone. Hope you enjoyed a November Masters unlike any other. 

I hope you can squeeze this episode in before some bets.  We like Bubba Watson if you need something quick. Cheers all!  Thanks for listening!!!

Back again with another episode.  Catching up after a fall break off.  We drink some crap liquor from France too.  Not sure it's worth gifting unless you just want more variety in your collection.

Thanks for listening!

We're back with season 3 of TFGP!  Added NFL pick'em segment toward the end for week 4 of the NFL.  Check that out.

Thanks for listening!!!

Season 2 wrap up here.  Moving on to season 3 soon.  Hope you enjoy this one.  Thanks for listening!

We approach the end of season 2, and Jon and I share are lackluster club championship efforts, swing the new Mizuno MP-20 MMCs, talk golf, and sample some Indiana bourbon.  Enjoy and thanks for listening!

Jon and I get a chance to talk to two Big Ten alumni golfers, Scott and Sean Busch.  Sean is currently playing on the Latinoamerica Tour, so we discuss his professional career and talk about what it takes to play at the highest levels in golf.  Hope you all in enjoy it!

Much like in the summer of 2019, Jon and I took a little break from recording, enjoyed some summer time with the families, and played some golf. With the PGA Championship concluding we figured it was a good time to get back together and chat some about the last couple months, our take on the PGA Championship, and recap some things golf things from the last couple months.  Hope you enjoy it as we get closer to wrapping up season 2 of the podcast.  Cheers! 

Jon and I open up about what's going on in society. Hope you can appreciate our take (or dice it up and let us know your thoughts), but we also hope it is a step forward in more people opening up and being vulnerable in conversations.  Thanks for listening!

After a couple weeks off we're back.  With stay-at-home orders lifting we were also able to get together for the first time since February to record.  Technology has been great to connect via phones, but it's always fun to enjoy a few beverages and hang out.  Hope you enjoy this.  We sample some Horse Soldier bourbon at the end.  Cheers!

Having spoken with multiple golf pros over the past year or so, I would say that Chad had some different perspectives on the swing compared to others.  Definitely a more technical approach and we enjoy the stories he shared with us along with his experience in golf.  Hope you enjoy the show.

Super excited to have Indiana University golfer, Jack Sparrow, back on the show.  We discuss the sudden ending to the 2020 season and Jack's college career, what is next for Jack in 2020, and how George Gankas has helped him improve his golf swing.

A few other nuggets in there for sure as we talk IU basketball, the idea of having an IU/PU showdown at Chatham, and why Jordan was the GOAT!

Hope you enjoy this one.  We hope to get George and Jack both on next time!

Rocco D'Angelo is all in on this episode!  We're excited about his participation and hope he can join us for more!!!

Be safe out there everyone!

We're excited to have our new club pro, Brandon Snell, on the show to talk about the state of managing golf during these challenging times.  We also learn a bit about how Brandon came to be the head pro at Chatham Hills and his path back to Indiana.  We hope you enjoy this insight into managing a club during this challenging time, and appreciate you tuning in and sharing with your friends.  More guests to come here in April.  Cheers all!

It's been fun having repeat guests on the show and catching up.  Coach Bryant shares with us what he's been doing with the high school golf team during the down time, and best case scenario to play in May.  

We're looking for some more guests in the coming weeks.  Let us know if you would like to get on the show. 

One of the most memorable St. Patrick's day in awhile.  Social distancing brought us together via Anchor.  We had a variety of beverages including, but not limited to, Guinness, Budweiser, Jameson, Slane, Old 55, and whatever takes the edge off.   Thanks to David Durm, Michael Hart, and Jon Faulkenberg for being available to chat about the crazy times we live it right now.  

Special shout outs to note: Max Homa (love the roasting of swings...is it ok that we do it too?), Phillip (Pip) Rivers (literally at a loss for words...will anyone buy that jersey?), Metronet (badass fiber Internet service and solid Irish whiskey recommendations), The Masters (for trying to have an event in 2020), to beer and whiskey (without you these times would be even tougher). 

Be smart and safe out there (yes, we're talking to you airplane toilet seat girl)!  We'll get through it.  Stay positive!!!

Can't say we had the most organized conversation here, but plenty to unbox as we go through.  Look forward to coming to you live next week from Florida.  Our apologies to Johnny Drum, The Masters, and the coronavirus.  

In this episode Jon and I catch up to talk about recent PGA activity and new league concepts.  We mix in some chatter about golf in Mexico, drivers, wedges, and we drink a Reposado.

Jon gets a new simulator (it's awesome), we are meh on California golf, but we like a $20 tequila from Costco.  Check it out, and thanks for listening!

Jon and are back after a week off.  A lot happened in sports and golf.  We discuss the loss of Kobe Bryant, Tiger and Bryson getting attention here at the beginning of 2020, our take on new drivers, the launch of Faded Sports, and we spend a good amount of time blind taste testing some whiskey.  Thanks for listening!

Happy new year!!! Jon and I are back in 2020 with some fun conversation on golf.  Cheers everyone!!!

In this episode Jon calls in from Naples and we discuss our personal and professional highlights from 2019, what we are looking forward to in 2020, and share our thoughts on the next decade in golf.  We taste another bourbon from Old 55 as well.  

Thanks to all our listeners this past year!  We hope you have enjoyed the show and we look forward to more in 2020.  Cheers!

In this episode Jon and Mark recap the President's Cup and USAs comeback victory.  We also discuss the shortfall of current golf announcers and who we believe is better suited than Paul Azinger to commentate a tournament.  Much love to Patrick Reed and Brandel Chamblee during the episode as well while we taste a couple bourbons from Old Forester and Blade and Bow.

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

In this episode we laugh about Patrick Reed, discuss if the President's Cup matters, chatter about basketball and some other sports, and we taste a special Winter Blend Reposado from Fortaleza.  Cheers to Vine & Table of Carmel, IN for the background info and recommendation.

Thanks for listening!

Jon and Mark get back running with a kick off to season 2.  We chat golf, the off season, a little bit of next year equipment changes, and taste the Whistlepig 10 year Straight Rye Whiskey.

Mark and Jon invite Coach Bryant to the program.  We discuss the end to the PGA season, some equipment highlights from the year, and other highlights from the podcast over season 1.  This episode ends season 1 for Faded.Golf, and we'll be back for season 2 later this fall.  Thanks to Fanatics for helping power the podcast, thanks to all the guests we had on this season for taking the time to talk golf with us, and thanks to all our listeners for subscribing and tuning in.

Cheers, and go out there and hit more greens, you'll score better!

Fun show this week.  Jon and I have two guests on.  Our South African golf friend, Graham Cohen joins the podcast, and Coach Josh Bryant is back on again for some commentary.  Thanks for listening!

We're back!  It's been a busy summer, but we're sneaking in another episode where we discuss our lack in interest in the Fedex Cup, some slow play controversy, how the mental game will take a bigger part of season 2, and we try and Anejo that reminds us of a fine bourbon.

Cheers!

In this episode we are excited to interview the 2019 Indianapolis Open Champion and Indiana University Golfer, Jack Sparrow.  We learn about Jack's path in golf and chat with him about the PGA Championship and the tour.  Lastly we taste an awful Belgian Ale.
