The Firm & Fast Golf PodcastUnknown unknowns and the golfing road less travelled Author: Shane Derby
We're on a golfing quest of sorts, looking to increase our golfing I.Q.'s in the process. Our aim is to speak to expert guests at the intersection of golf design and construction, green keeping and history...to name but a few topics. This podcast is not about us, it's about the guests, what they know and how that can influence the sustainable future of the game of golf that we all cherish. Suspend what you know about the game of golf for a moment and join us on this journey, we promise great guests, different takes and a few laughs along the way. Many thanks for considering us for a listen! Language: en-ie Genres: Business, Golf, Management, Sports Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |
