#golflifeab Podcast

Todd Halpen (@golfproyyc) joins Ryan and Leah as we continue our discussions leading up to the Masters, and we get completely nerded out about golf. Negative gamma beta force? Punishments to help your mental game? We've got it all right here.

Todd Halpen from the Golf Canada Calgary Centre joins Ryan and Leah to preview the Masters! We only get started on Part 1 - make sure you stay tuned later today for Part 2 where we (okay, Todd) totally geeks out on golf.

Leah and Ryan chat about the WGC Dell Match Play and more controversies involving Sergio and Kuch. More discussion around the Alberta's FAVOURITE Course March Madness brackets and the huge buzz it has created.

Leah and Ryan chat about course openings (!!!), we hear from one of Alberta's top Juniors, and we discuss the hardest holes in Alberta. What hole is in your kitchen?

Leah and Ryan recap the Players, Rory finally closing, and of course rules issues. Then the #MarchMadness bracket gets thrown out as we want you to vote for your favourite course in Alberta! We also chat with Callaway Staffer Craig Dale about the importance of being professionally fit for golf clubs. Reminder: next week is the #MailbagPodcast!

Join Leah and Ryan as they break down Arnie's Invitational at Bay Hill and look forward to The Players - is it the "5th Major"? They also talk about all of the venues hosting Alberta Golf Tour tournaments this season and why you should look forward to some of them. A last minute addition/change to the schedule, and looking for a Pro to give Ryan some putting lessons... PLEASE! We also let you know how you can get certified as a Level 2 Rules Official and a little teaser for the #GolfLife Alberta March Madness that's about to go down!

Join us this week as we [once again] go over rules shenanigans from the PGA Tour, and we spend some time with Lisa "Longball" Vlooswyk discussing her beginnings in golf and long drive, what we can expect from her this year, her passion for women's golf, and one of her coolest experiences yet!

Join us this week as we talk to Josh Strukoff from @golfismental. We talk all things golf with him, and his hate for the mallet putter, if his wife still dresses him, how sore his shoulders are from carrying his match play team, and his fave golf tracks in Alberta. We also discuss Rickie's penalty from last week and how we feel the new drop rule could be improved.

This week we discuss the PGA Tour Genesis Open... and how slow it was. Tiger, Rory, Jordan, Justin, and Kuch are also topics of interest. Is Kuch a bad person? We talk to Scott Stiles about what does it really take to make it big on Tour, and Rob Wilson from VIP Golf about new programs that have been released with his membership this year. We also hear from Calgary Stampeders' Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell about why he loves the game of golf, what his goals are for the year, and losing to his jellybean-loving wife! We discuss the rule... recommendation of pace of play in the Rules of Golf and want your feedback for next week's mailbag podcast!

Ryan and Leah chat about the professional tours, and update you on the new Rules (and terminology) changes in the 2019 Rules of Golf. Today's topic: Casual Water... I mean, Temporary Water.

We have got some big news for you as we begin Season 2! Take a listen.

Join us for our final episode of Season 1 as we catch up on the past few weeks and wrap up our first season of the Golf Life Alberta Podcast!

We want your feedback and opinions on the legalization of marijuana on golf courses. Tell us your point of view! We also go over a couple of confusing rules - 1 of which is a big one being changed for 2019. Get your learn on and let us know what rules situations you want to hear us talk about in future episodes!

We're baaaaaack! After a couple month yatus (sorry, Big Brother fan here), we are back on the air! We explain where we've been, catch up on what's been happening in the golf world, and start to duke it out debating these Ryder Cup Matches. (Disclaimer: we recorded on the Thursday before the matches started, so apologies for the info being dated by the time this gets posted) We catch up on the local stuff with Callaway Chip Shots, and start a new segment about better understanding the Rules of Golf.

We're a little bit late this week due to more travel, but we catch you up on #TheKidd's traveling golf show - this time at the FCG Callaway World Championship in Palm Desert - his first time ever on a world stage. We also talk golf's 3rd Major of the year: THE OPEN. Who are our picks and what controversies are arising this year?

Leah & Darren catch up on the AGT (and their respective wins!), as well as Tyler Kidd's road on the Drive, Chip, Putt circuit. We hear more about what the Qualifier was like and where he goes from here. Who will win the $10 million match between Phil and Tiger? And, a new AGT Hotseat!

Just in case you were wondering about how Leah REALLY feels about pace of play... she goes on a bit (a lot) of a rant in this episode, and we're pretty sure it's not the last time we'll hear about it from her. Darren spends time interviewing one of the most accomplished Alberta golfers - Wes Heffernan - about his recent tournament play (and win!).

Leah and Darren discuss winnings and controversies from the US Open and the Alberta Golf Tour. Who will be on the AGT Hotseat this week?

Leah & Darren recap the past week on the Alberta Golf Tour - including some positives and negatives on pace of play. What IS long putt exactly? Can you use ANY putt so long as it's behind the marker, or only your first attempt? We catch you up on the Alberta Golf scene including some qualifiers and the AB Match Play, and we give you our US Open picks for the week. (Hint: our dark horses are doing better than our actual picks at the time of posting this). And of course, a new AGT Hotseat!
