Before we start with our Fall star-studded lineup of guests, we’re starting off with a fresh banter sesh with us two yuckin’ it up. We open up the episode and dive right into college football and football talk, period. We turn the page over and talk about the recent WVU golf tournament we were a part of..for a day. We heckled some of the players and made them feel extra comfortable hitting a t-shot 180 with water left.

We flipped the script and headed to Nashville where we played in the Blue Otter golf event. We chat a bit about the tournament and some of the boys playing..as well as an impromptu call to Donald Trump via John Daly. We get into some good stories on and off the course.

We dabble into some golf talk and give a big shoutout to a friend of the pod, Rocco Mediate on his recent win. We highlight a potential hunting trip and sign off in professional fashion. Thank you for tuning in this week. We hope you enjoyed this one.

We’re full swing into football season (see what we did there?), and on this week’s episode of Chasin’ Birdies, we have a guy who can snap a football better than you, but can he beat you on the course?

Christian Kuntz (Pittsburgh Steelers) joins us to talk about all things life and his path to success in the NFL. We feel long snappers are underappreciated in this game so we’re here to let people know that we need LONG SNAPPERS, especially if our fantasy team has a good kicker.

We open up the episode and get a good background look in the early part of his career. Growing up in Pittsburgh it was always a dream to play for the home team, and going undrafted landed him a spot to prove his worth with the Steelers. Christian tells us stories about his college days and how it felt to be picked up in the NFL.

We hear some softer stories, though, especially one from his wedding night and his first occasion on the golf course. Speaking of golf, the guy can’t kick the habit. We hear how he was introduced to golf and why it was pretty painful at first. We get into the thick of things with discussions of his golf game now and where he wants to be next off-season.

We end the episode with our standard tap-in segment presented by Bettinardi Golf, where we ask Christian four questions that demand his quick response. Tune in now as you drive, work out, or fall asleep. This episode will keep you peeled!
