In episode 22 of the Locker Room Golf Podcast, we sit down with PGA Professional David Leathem at the iconic Rusacks Hotel in St Andrews — the Home of Golf — for a conversation about a career that’s taken some fascinating turns.

David represented Ireland alongside the likes of Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry before turning professional, and he takes us through that journey step by step: what it was like competing at that level, the transition into the professional game, and how his path eventually led him away from the traditional club pro route and into building a career as an online golf coach.

We talk about reinventing yourself in the golf industry, the shift from in-person teaching to coaching online, and what it takes to build a coaching business that reaches players far beyond your local course.

Whether you’re a golfer looking to improve your game or you’re curious about the different paths a career in golf can take, this one’s well worth a listen.

Having the chance to spend a morning on the course with James Wiltshire filming and talking all things Golf & YouTube has been great.

We now sit down with him on the Pod to continue some really interesting discussions..

Enjoy..

In this episode Lester and I have been having a good old fashion catch up about life as a YouTuber, the Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald and new dates for the Locker Room Golf Tour.

Welcome to a Sunday Morning Show podcast where Lester and I (Dan Hendriksen) have a good catch up about all things golf. In this episode we will be looking at golf club review videos and seeing which Club has been overlooked by the golf industry over the years.

Sir Ian Botham is a well known Sports Personality, having played Cricket to the highest level and captaining England on a number of occasions. Sir Ian shares a few stories around his golfing experience from the balcony over looking the 18th Hole at the Old Course at St Andrews during the 2nd round of the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

This Podcast would not have been possible without the help of Ethica Sports Gel of which both Ian and I have used to help with getting us both back on the golf course.

Sit back and enjoy.

In this podcast we catch up with PGA Member James Ruth who shares his story with how he got his European Tour Card.

Boys on Tour: Spain Edition (with three LRG subscribers)

The Boys on Tour crew are back, and this time I'm catching up with three Locker Room Golf subscribers I've shared the course with and who have now joined me on the podcast. They've just returned from a golf trip to Spain, so we start with how it went: the courses, the highs and lows, and what they'd tell anyone planning the same trip.

Then we get into the bigger conversation. These three are golfers, not industry insiders, so they give an honest view of the game as it stands today. We talk about:

• What they want from their golf clubs. What matters most to them, and what's missing.
• Is membership worth it? Whether they feel they get value for their money, and what would change that.
• The future of the game. Where they see club golf heading, and what it will take to keep golfers like them engaged.

It's a relaxed chat with plenty of banter and some candid opinions from the people clubs are trying to keep.

Some stories are almost too remarkable to believe. This week, we sit down with Mike Browne, whose journey has taken him from the British Army to the winner's circle on the DP World Tour.

Mike's military career was cut short when he suffered a broken leg that wasn't set properly, ultimately leading to the loss of his leg and a medical discharge. What followed were some of the toughest times of his life, including a real struggle with his mental health. Then he found golf. It gave him a new purpose, and he worked his way up to turning professional.

That path led to a win on the DP World Tour in Dubai, in a field that included Rory McIlroy.

It's an incredible story of resilience, and we're so glad Mike took the time to sit down with us. We hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did.
