| EP196: T-Time Tournament Series, Best Ball at Sodus Heights Golf Club with Phyllis | 26 août 2026 | 00:30:55 | |
We’re back for another Tournament T-Time as Tori and Phyllis take on Sodus Bay Heights Golf Club for an RDGA two-person best ball event. Before the round, Tori gets candid about watching her handicap climb from a +1 to a 7.0 and how her relationship with golf has changed. Instead of constantly chasing improvement and lower scores, she’s learning to put less pressure on herself, enjoy competing, and remember that a handicap doesn’t define who you are as a golfer. Then it’s time to tee it up! Tori and Phyllis navigate fast greens, beautiful views, and plenty of ham-and-egging as they put together another strong team performance. They break down what worked, what needs improvement, and why playing to your own strengths matters. The duo finishes 3-under gross and 6-under net, taking the win in both divisions and capping off an incredible Rochester tournament run. In this episode:

| EP187: Tournament T-Time Series: Best Ball with Phyllis at Stafford | 01 juil. 2026 | 00:45:40 | |
Tori and Phyllis are back for another installment of the Tournament Series, this time heading to Stafford Country Club in western New York for an RDGA two-person best ball event. Tori had never played the course before, but Phyllis assures her it's one of the best — home to a legendary ladies' invitational and built by white-collar Buffalonians who wanted a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. The pre-round logistics are chaotic (Phyllis has loans to lock, a jackhammer blocking her street, and exactly 23 minutes to get there), but they make the first tee with seconds to spare. At just 4,515 yards from the yellow tees, Tori goes in expecting birdies all day — and the course promptly humbles her. The short yardage turns out to be a trap: the greens are fast, hard, and nearly impossible to hold, leaving Tori stuck hitting awkward 50-yard shots from the rough all day. Phyllis, meanwhile, keeps chipping and one-putting like clockwork. They finish second in gross and win overall low net — beating a field where the gross winner shot one under on a course that should have played much easier. Along the way, there's a memorable rules moment involving a chalk ball marker (completely legal, but you have to erase it before you putt), and plenty of honest reflection on what the round revealed about both their games heading into the next event.

| EP186: Trying Out This YouTube Golf Thing | 24 juin 2026 | 00:44:50 | |
All four episodes of the Creek Cup series are officially live on YouTube — and yes, they dropped out of order (episode four first, naturally). Click the playlist link below to watch them in the right sequence. In this episode of T-Time, Tori and Ashley are joined by Aubrey, the editor behind both the Desert Classic and Creek Cup series, to pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to turn hours of raw golf footage into a four-part series. Aubrey was on the ground at Bandon Dunes for the first time, racking up 20,000 steps a day while wrangling cameras, voice-noting clip numbers, and somehow capturing one of the most unbelievable moments of the trip — April's hole-in-one on a par three playing 155 yards into the wind. Her second career hole-in-one, by the way. And yes, someone ended up in the ocean because of it. The conversation gets into the full production process — from Aubrey's 20-page pre-production document and cast profiling based on Desert Classic footage, to the post-production challenge of meshing everyone's creative vision as a self-described non-golfer. They also talk about what makes YouTube golf such a massive content category, why the Creek Cup format worked so well on camera, and what they'd do differently next time (GoPros in the carts, for starters).

| 171. Winning Your First Club Championship with Phyllis Haberer | 03 sept. 2025 | 00:39:02 | |
"Down the middle, down the middle, chip one putt." That was the mantra Phylly sang in her head throughout her breakthrough club championship win at Durand Eastman, Rochester's notoriously difficult municipal course. After years of close calls, including a tough shank into the water on the 16th hole during a Florida club championship, Phylly finally broke through. She entered day two tied for third, grouped with three-time defending champion Deb Wood, who had just dominated at Wanakah Country Club days earlier with a 76. The mental game nearly derailed her before she started. Coming off a brutal 92 at Wanakah (where Wood won), Phylly arrived with zero expectations. She didn't even warm up or practice putting. Instead, she treated it like any other league day rather than the championship finale. While Wood and the other leaders shot 44s on the front nine, Phylly fired a smooth 40. Her strategy was pure consistency: "I can't get on par fours in two 'cause I only hit my drive like 160, 170." So she chipped and one-putted her way to pars and bogeys while others chased birdies. The 18th hole loomed as her "arch nemesis": a par five so treacherous it was featured in Golf Magazine. "I thought, oh, second place isn't so bad," she admitted, already accepting potential defeat. But when Wood failed to reach the green in three, Phylly knew she had it. The celebration was subdued. She didn't even realize she'd won until others confirmed no one ahead had caught her. After decades of trying, her 82 delivered the breakthrough, proving that sometimes the best strategy is simply playing your own game!

| 170. The Bandon Dunes Solstice with Jason Baumeister | 05 août 2025 | 00:42:10 | |
"You wake up at 5:20, you put your tee in the ground, you hit your shot, and then the four of you walk off to the ball and you hit it again, and you keep on going. It's very simplistic. You go left foot, right foot until you're finished. 72 holes." Jason has tackled one of golf's most brutal endurance tests 13 times: the Bandon Solstice. This isn't your casual weekend round. Participants play 72 holes of walking-only golf in a single day, starting at 5:20 AM on the longest day of the year at Bandon Dunes Resort in Oregon. What makes this particularly nasty? Try 50,000+ steps across four championship courses with no carts allowed. Jason learned the hard way when his caddie bailed after 36 holes during his first attempt, forcing him to carry his own bag the rest of the way. The preparation is serious business: "You need to eat a lot of food the night before. You should be uncomfortable when you leave the dinner table" because you'll burn around 10,000 calories during the challenge! Weather can be absolutely brutal. Jason recalls 60-mph winds so fierce that "the sand looked like water" flowing across the beach below the clifftop courses. Getting in requires either legacy status (like Jason earned by pestering the original GM into making it official) or winning what's essentially a lottery that sells out within minutes. The waiting list is rumored to be 10 years deep. "It's absolutely doable to such a broad range of fitness levels," Jason insists, though surviving involves equal parts physical endurance and mental fortitude. Expect rewards in the form of gift bags, stories at McKees Pub, and bragging rights for completing golf's ultimate marathon!

| 169. The 29029 Everesting Challenge with Justin Klemballa | 22 juil. 2025 | 00:58:35 | |
Justin Klemballa tackled one of the most grueling endurance challenges out there – the 29029 Everting event at Jackson Hole. For those unfamiliar, this isn't your typical weekend hike. Participants climb a mountain 19 times in 36 hours to reach the equivalent height of Mount Everest (29,029 feet). You read that right – 19 times up the same brutal mountain. It's steep as hell and requires the most ascents of any 29029 location. Only two-thirds of participants actually finish and earn the coveted red hat. The experience has Justin buzzing about hosting his own golf instruction trips, combining bucket-list destinations with on-course coaching. Because apparently, surviving 29029 gives you ideas about doing more impossible things.

Today, I’m sitting with Debbie O'Connell to discuss the profound impact of state of mind on your golf game.

She illustrates the power of mental fortitude through Amy Bockerstette's inspiring performance, explains how you can use positive self-talk and body language to boost your confidence on the course, and shares personal experiences around the transformative effects of gratitude and mindset on your golf game.
We also talk about the role of meditation, visualization, and self-hypnosis techniques in achieving peak performance. Reflecting on the wisdom of legends like Tiger Woods, we look at how taking responsibility for our game, rather than succumbing to external pressures, can empower us to excel under any condition. About Debbie O’Connell: Debbie is a seasoned media professional, successful entrepreneur, and accomplished business leader. She is the host of Audible’s series “Golf Positive.” She has also had multiple appearances on the Golf Channel and has hosted numerous golf-oriented radio shows as well as the television show “Par Fore the Course.” Debbie is the author of the bestselling book, “Golf Positive!

| 166. Revamping Golf Apparel with Tradition & Sustainability with Ali Putnam | 11 févr. 2025 | 00:55:37 | |
Who would have thought that a career in international supply chain logistics could lead to the launch of a sustainable golf clothing line? Today, I’m sitting down with Ali Putnam, a mom to five boys and the founder of A. Putnam, ”a luxury resort-to-sport brand for women that honors the traditions of golf”. Like most female golfers, Ali was frustrated at the extremely limited choices she had when it came to quality golf attire. This frustration sparked her journey into business and fashion design, which was always driven by her love for the sport and a strong commitment to sustainable practices. Ali shares how she juggles entrepreneurship and motherhood day by day, all while setting ambitious goals to make her mark in the industry. Creating golf apparel that seamlessly transitions from the course to everyday life is no small feat, and Ali takes us through her creative process to accomplish just that. By experimenting with fabrics and styles, Ali designs versatile pieces like structured skirts and reversible bomber jackets that cater to women of all ages and styles. She explains how she’s navigating the retail landscape, weighing the pros and cons of distributing her line at big box stores and exclusive country clubs. She also gives her thoughts on how social media is revolutionizing fashion and the importance of staying true to one's vision in a constantly changing market. Finally, from costly photo shoot blunders to the strategic shift from influencer partnerships to authentic connections with everyday women, Ali opens up about the countless lessons she’s had to learn as an entrepreneur!

“You have to play golf to get better at it. Being out on the golf course is so crucial–you have to put yourself in an uncomfortable position to get more comfortable at it.”
Justin Klemballa is back to talk about how golfers can crush the 75 Hard Challenge and come out physically and mentally tougher than ever!
Listen in as Justin walks us through his morning routine to show how he uses habit stacking, consistency, and a sprinkle of discomfort to ace his goals. We'll uncover how little daily actions like staying hydrated and reading 10 pages of a great book a day can supercharge your growth.
Justin does a deep dive into the mental game of golf, focusing on the importance of celebrating small victories, replaying only your winning shots in your head, and consistently channeling positive vibes even during high-stakes tournaments.
Finally, you’ll learn how well-structured 30-minute practice drills and daily workouts can strengthen your confidence and resilience on the green. Interested in the 75 Hard Challenge?

I’m sitting down with Jon Sherman of Practical Golf to discuss his five best tips for supercharging your golf game during the offseason!
“It’s much easier to make a change in your golf game,” says Jon, “in a risk-free environment.”
Your offseason is the absolute best time to troubleshoot your game and make changes that you simply won’t be able to track with efficiency in the thick of those competitive months.
With the help of a good instructor, use these next few weeks to make a series of 1% improvements on everything from rewiring your golf swing to setting achievable goals for tournament season. And as a pro tip, try recording your training sessions to really dial in on the details that you need to work on.
Jon also shares how to make the best use of an hour of indoor practice, and how to keep in top shape by making full use of resistance and speed training. Finally, he reveals his go-to strategy for fine-tuning your equipment and the art of setting process-oriented goals that will take your golf game to the next level!

| 159. Catching Up with Kim | 07 nov. 2024 | 00:55:13 | |
Pushing past my comfort zone in golf has always been a challenge, but with the help of the ever-amazing Colorado Hall of Famer Kim Eaton, I went on a journey that led me all the way to the USGA Mid-Am.
Today, Kim and I are reflecting on how entering some of those more intimidating tournaments can actually elevate your game. I talk about my commitment to compete in the Arizona State Match Play Tournament despite initial hesitations. One thing stays pretty consistent: The friends we make and the personal insecurities we overcome at these events always end up being as rewarding as the game itself.
Kim had a packed summer. From one tournament after another–from the Senior Match Play in Colorado to an unforgettable win at the state Mid-Am–Kim gives us an insightful blow-by-blow account of her prep work all through to the end of each match.
Finally, we talk about the ins and outs of organizing large golf events, and weigh the pros and cons of various locations to create the most memorable experience possible for all participants!
If there’s anything to take away from this episode, it’s the literal game-changing power of having a mentor at your side. And that if you don’t have one yet, it’s time to put yourself out there and feel the pressure of tournament play!

| 157. Playing with My Mother at the Cali Crush Invitational with Alix | 24 oct. 2024 | 00:55:18 | |
When my mom accepted the invitation to join us for the 2024 California Crush Invitational, I knew it would be an unforgettable experience. My sister Alix joins me today to reflect on Mom’s first-ever golf tournament experience and the lessons women golfers can take to heart through her example! From Napa to Tampa, Mom’s unique challenges as a first-timer speak to the women out there who are thinking about taking the leap into their first tournament, but for one reason or another, they are holding back–whether due to a higher handicap index or otherwise. With Mom being a casual golfer by nature, Alix and I never felt prouder witnessing her achieve her first birdie! She adapted beautifully to the formalities of an 18-hole match, thanks in no small part to the supportive environment we were immersed in throughout those two amazing days! Of course, it wouldn’t be a conversation with Alix without a diversion into the latest golf fashion trends (can you say “wide-leg pants”?). After a quick discussion on said trends, Alix and I wrap things up by talking about the power of connecting with like-minded individuals who share our passion for women empowering women out on the course!
