Jonathan Byrd is a 5-time PGA Tour winner and an amazing human being. I chatted with him about how he started getting serious about the game of golf, how he and his wife met, what he loves to do when he's not playing golf, and what it was like meeting JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE after his epic victory at the 2010 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open! 

He also has amazing advice to high school students who may be pursuing the game of golf! (Check out the last 10 minutes for that)

From playing "with the boys" in junior golf, to becoming one of NC State's most prominent players, Cecily Overbey and I had a great conversation about what led her to play collegiate golf and is helping her pursue her dreams to play on the LPGA Tour. 

Cecily shares a lot of great insight into what goes into the recruitment process for college golf and what she found to be important for her in making such an important decision. 

As a fellow NC State Alumni, we had to chat a good bit about how amazing the wolfpack basketball run was during the NCAA tournament! Enjoy this great conversation with Cecily Overbey!

I share some thoughts on Grayson Murray's tragic death and how we can all #TeeUpAConversation with each other. 

Ben Crane shares about his Life off the Links in this week's episode. Hear about how his Grandfather played a huge role in his learning the game of golf. Also, hear about how his faith has shaped who he is and why he thinks it even plays an advantage in professional golf. In addition to all of that, hear the HILARIOUS story of how "Golf Boys" originated and who the golfer was that was supposed to be in the video but dropped out last minute. 

This week's conversation has it all; laughter, family, faith, great advice to golfers looking to improve their game.

Welcome to Life off the Links! I'm a normal guy with a passion for golf and people. For years I've had a dream about starting a podcast where I interview professionals in the game to hear about their "life OFF the links". 

I am absolutely loving the journey and realizing that we all have a story and we all come from somewhere. Join us on the journey! Let's tee up some conversation! 

Check out our YouTube channel with the video recordings if you prefer to watch the interviews! 

Thanks for listening and spreading the word!
