Did you ever hear the story about the Professional Golfer who turned down Fred Greene’s invitation to play at The Masters, in favour of a weekend in Skegness? Or the Crocodile at Kiawah Island who is making a booming side hustle trade on eBay selling Titleist Pro v1 lake balls?

In this latest instalment of the GYH Podcast, Kris is joined once again by Ben Seabrook - back by popular demand - for an informal chat and a chance to reflect on the GYH journey to date, as well as what the future looks like for the podcast and what our listeners and guests can expect.

What has the everyday golfer got in common with someone who’s played at the elite level, been a teammate of Rory Mcilroy at the Junior Ryder Cup and teed it up at Augusta National? A lot more than you’d think…

Beyond his Golfing accolades and talents, both as a player and as a Golf Fitness specialist, Dr Zach Gould is a humble and honest character, who is not afraid to be vulnerable.

In both his formative and adult years, Zach has been dealt his fair share of bad breaks and found himself embedded in the rough on more than one occasion. However, as Zach explains in this fascinating and insightful conversation, adversity isn’t the end of us, it’s a stepping stone to new beginnings.

Alex Frolish enjoys a unique vantage point when playing Golf. As an airline pilot, Alex is an international jetsetter with a difference. When traveling, Alex doesn’t sit idle on stopovers. With his Elevation Golfing Nation alter ego, he resourcefully uses his time to head out to play local golf courses, combining a love of the game, with a passion for Golf writing and a deep respect for Golf course architecture.

Conscious of the environmental impact of his work, coupled with an entrepreneurial spirit, Alex has founded EGN Golf as an online Golf retail business, selling innovative, sustainable golf products.

Yet, of all the talent and skills he’s acquired along the way, it’s his inclusive outlook on Golf and Life, which we at GYH consider to be his finest attribute.
