    How To Quit Golf (And Get Your Life Back) with golf author Danny Cahill
    Jul 24 2024
    "You tell yourself a child could tap in the 16-inch putt you missed to push the last hole—no one abuses you like you abuse yourself when you are playing badly, and no one is less convinced than you that you are playing well when you are, in fact, playing well." -Excerpt: How To Quit Golf (And Get Your Life Back) Author Danny Cahill joins us on this episode of "A Good Walk Spoiled: Adventures in Golf" and dishes out some of his favorite parts of his third book. While he also finds himself entertaining crowds on stages across the country as a motivational speaker, he also talks about his personal transition from a high level tennis player to the game of golf as an adult. As he immersed himself in the frustrations of the game, he realized golf also raises a different breed of people. Both humorous and entertaining, this episode will help you get to know Mr. Cahill, his book, and if you've ever thought about writing your own book, he also shares some of his tips on how to write a book.

  • Newbie Guide To The Game Of Golf: Basic Rules, Etiquette, and Culture Every New Golfer Should Know

    Newbie Guide To The Game Of Golf: Basic Rules, Etiquette, and Culture Every New Golfer Should Know
    Jul 17 2024
    This episode of A Good Walk Spoiled, Adventures in golf is a must for every new golfer and it should provide some stories and entertainment even for the most seasoned golfers out there. This episode covers a variety of etiquette, rules, and even tips for getting out on the course for newer golfers, including non-golfers that may be finding their way into a golfing bachelorette, bachelor, family reunion, or other peer pressure scenario. This will help you at least feel a little more comfortable stepping out on a real golf course for the first time. This compilation of rules and suggestions for beginner golfers is by no means an end-all, be-all. I realized as I have found myself playing more golf this summer with a lot of people who are new to the game and there is some basic etiquette and standards. My home course also happens to be a resort course, so sometimes it is the family looking for something different to do, which is great, by all means, welcome to the world of golf, the more the merrier (as long as my greens fees don’t keep going up, haha). However, when it gets frustrating, is when people don’t know some of the basics or don’t understand the importance of the pace of play “I’m on vacation and I paid good money, so I’m going to hit every shot, look for every ball, and by golly, if I’m out here 6 hours, I paid for it, I’m getting my money’s worth…” Unfortunately, those of us behind those groups are the ones paying the real price with a 5-hour round. So I’d love for you to subscribe, and like this important episode for beginner golfers, but also I know this isn’t all-encompassing, so please add your comments to what I missed, or share your personal stories of ‘wow did that just happen on the golf course?” Here are some links to @Pony_Golf: https://linktr.ee/ponygolf Find A Good Walk Spoiled merch on Millions: https://millions.co/scott-poniewaz-golf Check out the rest of the Golfer Gang Network Podcasts: https://www.golfergang.com/ Shop Galway Bay Golf Rain Gear: https://galwaybay.myshopify.com/?rfsn=7887308.cbaa9ce Shop Holderness & Bourne Clothing: https://holdernessandbourne.com/?avad=386649_a3ab6907d Learn more about your ad choices.
