MTT - My Interview with Darren Reese, Director of Communications, Golf House Tennessee

The latest episode is my interview with Darren Reese, Director of Communications with The Golf House Tennessee, that happened several weeks back. I hoped on with Darren and was on the other side of the table being interviewed and it was a fun conversation. I really enjoyed it and I don't really ever get to tell parts of my story so I thought it would be great to share. I think you will like it and it will let you know a little bit more about me.
Thanks to Darren for having me on.

MTT - Jim Huntoon, Golf Course Superintendent at Heritage Club, Pawleys Island, South Carolina

In the latest episode of the podcast, I had a great time chatting via video with Jim Huntoon, Golf Course Superintendent at the Heritage Club in South Carolina. Jim and I had connected over social media and I asked him to come on the podcast and we finally made it happen. This podcast takes us outside the boundaries that I normally use with my guests but it was great to talk with Jim and discuss some things going on in the Carolinas. We discussed Jim's career, the challenges of being at the Heritage Club, the current Pandemic and its effect on he and his staff, and also his involvement with the Carolina GCSA. He is also a lover of the podcast and helps with the guys at Pullin' Weeds from time to time.
I think you will really enjoy this one. I apologize for the audio in the beginning but I got it sorted out and we had a great chat.

MTT - "Special Episode" Rob Webb, Founder of Just Love Coffee and 1/2 of Break 2 Music

Well this episode is an all-time for me. As many of you know, I have a love for old school hip hip and in this episode me and my long time friend and 1/2 of the group Break 2 (to which I am the other half) discuss all things music, hip hop and more. Rob has a great story surrounding his coffee business and his love for music. If you are music fan and especially old school hip hop/rap, this episode is for you. I took a break from the green industry content to bring you some pop culture and music content. Don't worry, I'll be back bringing you more from the world of turf and all but this one was a fun break in these weird and crazy times. 
I hope you enjoy. Go check out Just Love Coffee and be sure to support your local businesses. Thanks to Rob (aka Master Rob) for coming on and talking music and more. 
Enjoy.

MTT - Discussion with Dr. Brandon Horvath, Professor at UT Knoxville

In the latest Episode, I had a great conversation with Dr. Brandon Horvath, Professor at University of Tennessee at Knoxville. We discussed many topics including the current epidemic, how we can relate it to turfgrass and many other topics. We dove into golf data and it can be used to help manage your course and how to use data to relate specific topics to golfers expectations. I really enjoyed this conversation and I know you will too.
Please go check it out and enjoy.

MTT - Ryan Emerson, Golf Course Superintendent, McLemore Golf Club

In the latest podcast, I sat down with Ryan Emerson, Golf Course Superintendent at McLemore Golf Club on Lookout Mountain. I was able to spend a few days with Ryan and it was a great conversation. we taped the podcast prior to me seeing much of the course due to some extreme fog and I wish I had seen it prior to the interview but it turned out great anyway and we will definitely follow up with a future podcast episode.
