Welcome to this episode of The Wild Golf Podcast.  I am your host Michael McDonald.   My guest on this episode is Richard Pennell,  the passionate author behind Stymied; a blog about Richard’s love affair with the beguiling mistress that is golf.  In this episode we discuss Richard’s journey in life and the golf industry,  starting with his first golf teacher and mentor and finishing with his current sabbatical away from the golf industry, but still passionately in love with the game and writing about it every morning.  I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did and hope the readings in this episode will inspire you to subscribe to Stymied and fall in love with the game again.

Welcome to the first episode of The Wild Golf Podcast.  I am your host Michael McDonald.   My guest on this episode is Robin Down, author of Golf in the Wild and its sequel, Golf in the Wild,  Going Home.  Both books are about golf and life, on some of the most beautiful and wild courses in England and Scotland.  In this episode we discuss Robin’s first book, including its many diversions, Robin reads a few passages along the way.   I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did and that it will inspire you to go on your own golf journey in the wild.

Welcome to the first episode of Series 5 of The Wild Golf Podcast.  I am your host Michael McDonald.   My guest on this episode is Maulana Dotch, the first African American female Class A PGA professional in Texas, and the second in the United States, after the legendary Renee Powell.  Maulana is also the first African American female GM at a golf club or course in the United States and is well on her way to becoming a living legend in her own right. She is passionate, resilient and always striving to get better, and provides an atmosphere where her team can develop and be the best versions of themselves.  Imagine what your club or course would be like if you had Maulana at the helm with a single minded focus on improving your customer experience.  I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did.

You can follow Maulana Dotch on Instagram and Twitter (@golfgirlie21) and Facebook and you can also follow Hermann Park Golf Course on social media and on their website (https://hermannparkgc.com).
