About this listen

Golf, food and fun. Sounds like a great combination! Grilling at the Green hosted by Jeff Tracy brings all of that and more for your listening pleasure. Jeff’s love of golf prompted him to create Grilling at the Green several years back and the show has been going and growing strong ever since. Jeff started playing in middle school with wretched old clubs in the bottom pasture. (An errant tee ball to the noggin left a permanent impression on one of his childhood friends.) Jeffs got better clubs now, but still, be careful where you stand when he’s hitting off the tee! Grilling at the Green is not about fixing your swing, correcting your bad putting or how to get out of the sand better. It’s really about people in and around the golf world. Players, both amateur and pro. Authors, TV hosts, teachers, celebrities, weekend warriors, (hackers for short) manufacturers and club house icons make the guest list. Yes, we talk about golf but also cover travel, food fun and life.. Everyone on the show has a story. Grilling at the Green is the home for interviews with Frank Nobilo, Dotty Pepper, Anika, Gay Van Sickle, Kay Cockerill, Sarah Kemp, Lisa Cornwell, Keith Hirshland, Charlie Rymer. The list goes on. Grilling at the Green is also part of the Golf News Network line up on IHeart. The channel that brings you 24/7 golf. Be sure and watch Grilling at the Green TV with Jeff and Lee Ann Whippen on GNN TV. All are welcome at Grilling at the Green.
