From Gardner-Webb to Golf Podcast Fame | Chasing Scratch Creators on WebbChat

In this episode of WebbChat, host Noel T. Manning II welcomes Gardner-Webb University alumni Mike Shade and Eli Strait, creators of the wildly popular Chasing Scratch: A Golf Podcast.

Shade and Strait reflect on their time at Gardner-Webb University, where their friendship first took root, and share the story behind the genesis and evolution of the Chasing Scratch podcast. What began as a personal challenge to improve their golf games has grown into a beloved podcast with a devoted following and coverage from outlets like Golf Digest and other leading golf publications.

From college memories to the creative process behind podcasting, this conversation explores how two Runnin’ Bulldogs turned friendship, curiosity, and a shared love of the game into a successful and entertaining podcast.
