#051 - Casey Bannon has unbelievable feet

Group Golf Therapy ·

2022/11/22

Casey Bannon is a golf storyteller: he holds down the editorial wing at The Golfer's Journal, and really wants to run a piece about Robert Garrigus' weed farm. Casey also wears two pairs of socks at once, and is developing queues that help him stay present in an increasingly noisy world. The Shrinks brought Casey on the couch to discuss the mystique of good golf events, The Plateau Effect, and as the session title would suggest, Casey's SWEET FEET. In this session: GoT dream foursomes, Big Tootsie,

#049 - Jordan Thomas wants to support you

Group Golf Therapy ·

2022/11/08

Things got bad for Jordan Thomas. In 2005, a 16 year-old Jordan lost both of his legs in a tragic boating accident. He describes that, beyond the road to physical recovery, his mental and emotional health would take much longer to be set right. But Jordan mustered the courage to ask for help — friends and family rallied around, and helped inspire what Jordan has become: a giver, and a support engine for young people around the world who similarly require prostheses. In addition to running the Jordan

#048 - Sadena Parks loves cantaloupe

Group Golf Therapy ·

2022/11/01

Sadena Parks is undeniably, unabashedly herself. It's something she challenged herself with during her professional golf hiatus: to walk into every room unafraid to be herself. Now she's back in competition mode — on June 2, she won THE JOHN SHIPPEN National Golf Invitational — and is making another run toward the LPGA. But this time around, her inner child is calling some of the shots, cartwheels and NERF guns very much included. In this session: coconut water that will rock your world, Drew gets

Group Golf Therapy ·

2022/10/25

Lawrence Schlossman is one half of the fashion empire, Throwing Fits. Cole Owens-Young needs no introduction; he runs Metalwood Studio, and his name has been dropped on nearly every MF GGT podcast to date. We brought these two sartorial wündermen onto the couch to unpack the ramp-up of golfcore: the catalysts and spark plugs responsible for golf fashion's reinvention. In this session: where "jawns" comes from, why skate and golf collide, Cole is a frog boy. As always, thanks for listening to Group

2022/10/18

Julia Rae's first film role is a golf movie. Wow. She's one of the leads in the upcoming, festival award winning movie, "Playing Through", which documents the life of Ann Gregory, the first Black woman to compete in a USGA championship. Julia lives in LA, but is deeply connected to her Philly roots, and will never give up Mom's cooking. Julia took golf lessons as a kid, but dove head first into perfecting her swing for the role.

#045 - Tom Coyne believes in ghosts

Group Golf Therapy ·

2022/10/11

Plenty of swing changes and life changes have unfolded for Tom Coyne since he wrote A Course Called Ireland in 2009: he had kids, quit drinking, wrote two follow-up books detailing his journey-in-entirety of golf and relationships in Scotland and America along the way. A dream job — to walk from one bucket-list course to another, and getting to write about it — but it's work. Raising a family, and treating a cancer diagnosis this year have prompted Tom to spend more time around, yet the travel

Group Golf Therapy ·

2022/10/05

Ben Boskovich is coming back to golf with full force. After putting down his clubs in pursuit of his dream job — Deputy Editor at Esquire — in New York City, Ben has spent the past few years falling back in love with the game he grew up around. It started with sleepless nights; turning to visualizations of playing his childhood golf course to distract a clouded mind. Now, Ben is soaking up all that the new wave of golf has washed ashore: the fashion, the YouTube final round replays of vintage Tiger

#043 - Rabbi Marc is an identity thief

Group Golf Therapy ·

2022/09/27

Is it a coincidence that we release this session with an ordained rabbi the morning after Rosh Hashanah? Absolutely. Also, Rabbi Marc isn't ordained — he isn't a rabbi at all (don't worry though, he is Jewish). Instead, Ben Something from southern California went on eBay early in the pandemic to buy a used golf bag to feed his budding golf interest; the leather staff bag he purchased arrived at his door, and upon opening the box saw "Rabbi Marc Gellman" emblazoned across the front in slightly-faded

Group Golf Therapy ·

2022/09/20

Jacques Slade has his hands in a lot of things: he's built a successful YouTube channel, he's made sneakers with Nike, he's acted in feature films. He's also become golf obsessed, and is learning more about himself through playing the game. Jacques came to the GGT couch with loads of opinions on the state of fashion in professional golf, how sneaker culture can bring more people to the golf course, and how learning Spanish is helping him get ready for his next round.

This session marks a bittersweet ending for Bradford, Drew, and Connor, as the shutters close on season 2 of Group Golf Therapy. The Shrinks spend some time reflecting on the illustrious and not-so-illustrious guests to have graced the couch over the past 20 sessions. But where one chapter concludes, another commences: the Shrinks will spend the next several weeks tinkering, sitting down to build season 3, and readying the release of a few entirely new ways to connect with Group Golf Therapy.

2022/07/14

John Nichols owes a lot to golf, and to Bradford. The two became pandy golf buddies, and now the basketball media personality (otherwise known as LaJethro Jenkins) is fully hooked on finding meaning on the course. John's also a new father, and it's instantly evident how much family means to him. John is on a mission to break away from his phone, something that both golf and fatherhood are drilling into him. Believe us: when John gets paid, LaJethro is going to disappear. In this session: parenthood,

Richard Johnson is a leading expert in all things SEC football. Born in Gainesville, Florida, RJ knew from day one that he wanted to work in sports media, preferably covering his beloved Gators. Well, he accomplished that mission rather quickly, and now makes regular national television appearances on the SEC Network, is a staff writer at Sports Illustrated, and hosts several podcasts of his own. In the pandemic, Richard took to golf with obsessive vigor, and has even taken to writing a few pieces

With two businesses and a family under his purview, Ben's schedule is chock-full. But he still manages to break away for early morning rounds by himself—to reconnect with the 12 year-old shy kid still in him. Ben is living proof that there's creativity and passion in all of us.
