The Lowside Podcast

Scott Stallings is a 3-Time Winner on the PGA having played professional on tour since 2011. As he said himself, golf is what Scott does, not who he is. He is passionate about his family, fitness, and faith. We chat about winning,  Augusta National, life on the mini tours, and what it's like hitting a put in a twosome with Tiger Woods. If you're not on the Scott Stallings bandwagon yet, time to get on! 

On May 13, 2019, Judd Easterling was named the head golf coach at his alma mater, Wichita State University. A native of Dixon, MO, Judd takes over the reins of Wichita State after having played for the Shockers from 2001-2005 and serving as the assistant coach under his mentor, Grier Jones from 2017-2019. As Grier said himself, "there’s no doubt in my mind that Judd is going to be successful as the Head Coach of Wichita State".

Following stints on both the PGA & Korn Ferry Tour, Alan went to work at Ping before finally returning to his Alma Mater as an assistant coach. Having taken over the OSU program in 2013, Coach Bratton led the Oklahoma State team to their 11th NCAA National Championship in 2018 led by players like Matthew Wolff, Viktor Hovland, & Austin Eckroat. 

Colt Knedler joins the podcast to chat golf, travel, and videography. Colt is an accomplished amateur golfer who has made his name both with his clubs and behind the camera. As a player, Colt most recently played in the 2019 US Mid-Am while as a videographer, he honed his skills with notable golf storyteller, Erik Anders Lang. Colt was part of the crew that filmed the Unofficial "Official" Golf Guide to Scotland. We dive into what that experience was like, how Colt's view on the game of golf and what it means has changed, and what's next. 

Sat down to chat with Kevin Cron on his journey to the Big Leagues, his process as a professional athlete, favorite sports moments, and some golf chatter. Kevin has become a friend of the program through a mutual love of the game and the doors that it opens. Will look forward to continuing this conversation over 18 holes some day! 

Dave Baysden has taken the golf world by storm lately as an up and coming artist. Not that his work wasn't incredible before, it's just now starting to get the recognition it deserves. His work has recently been featured in places like Caddie Magazine, Links Magazine, and on Matt Kuchar's headcovers during a round at the Masters... 

What you learn in talking to Dave though is that putting both himself and his work out into the open didn't always come natural. It took a push from a close friend, support from family, and a lot of late nights to get where he is now. Dave opens up on what it's like to go from a guy who drew for fun to a guy who is now drawing some of the best pieces not just in golf, but anywhere. Appreciate you, Dave! 

On the eve of the 2019 MLB Season, we had a chance to sit down and talk with Zach Davies, starting pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. Zach made is Major League debut in 2015 and has notched 33 wins over the last 4 years for a team that finished the 2018 season as the National League runner up. Zach talks what it's like going from high school to professional baseball, how golf acts as a decompressor during the grind of the season, and what it's like pitching in places you dreamed of as a kid. 

Matt Cardis has simple why: People. Passion. Purpose. After some personal tribulations shook up his outlook on life, Matt decided the best path forward was to hop in his car, drive across the country, and play as much golf as possible while documenting the whole thing. The result has become the journey known as @golfinyourstate. We dive into how it started, why it started, and what life is like when your home is the road. 

Neal Rohrbach is the Co-Founder and craftsman over at Strokes Gained Custom Putters in Valdosta, Georgia. After growing up in the midwest, Neal used his golfing ability to get somewhere much warmer. He played college golf at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Upon graduation, Neal tried his hand at the pro golf life spending a few years bouncing around mini-tours. While the game is at his core, Neal knew it would be his other talents that would keep it his profession and thus, Strokes Gained was born! 

The Lowside Journey is a week by week look into the challenges of starting and brining and idea from concept to reality. This whole process is not easy. Weirdly, that makes me enjoy it more. This series provides insight into the day to day challenges and achievements that Lowside faces. 

Jameson Moore joins the podcast as a good friend and a multi-talented individual. Not only was Jameson a highly sought after football recruit out of Derby High School in Derby, Kansas, but he also shows a softer side as a musician and father.
