Reflecting on my golf journey, my initia...

Hey y'all, I'm Elliot Hall, and welcome to another episode of the Journey to St. Andrews. It's been a while, so I'm just going to dive right in. I believe the last time I did a recording was mid-June, early June, and we are now into mid-August, and we are less than a week away from going to St. Andrews to play a bunch of rounds of golf and, of course, the old course. So very excited to share that...

Hey y'all, I'm Elliot Hall, and welcome to another episode of The Journey to St. Andrews.

Hey y'all, I'm Elliott Hall, and welcome back to "The Journey to St. Andrews." I'm just easing back into things after that fun golf trip to Southern Utah. I’ve been hitting the links at Steel Canyon and Bobby Jones here in North Atlanta. Steel Canyon is a real test of accuracy, and a decent course to get out and just practice regularly (and shot my lowest round there last week). In other areas tho...

In this episode, we are talking about chipping and putting and also playing a quick 9 at Bobby Jones Golf Course with some Co-workers. Also, I try out the new car set up for recording an episode. The audio is not as good as when I record at home because I have to remove so much background road noise in editing. However, it is better than I expected and I'll keep improving the quality of the audio...

This is the final part of a three-episode series I'm calling the "Catch-Up Episodes". The past few months of my life got pretty crazy and busy so I didn't have time to stick to the normal structure of an episode every week or two. To get back on track, I decided to recap all the major things going on with my game, playing courses, and a bit of business. This turned into one very long recording ses...

Hey y'all. In this episode, I'll be talking about my brewery, Fire Maker out of Atlanta, and our partnership with the Georgia PGA with our beer Calamity Jane, and how that came to be. I also got to go to the Tour Championship at East Lake and will be talking about that.

One was a pro-am tournament at Ford's Field and River Club, and the other course was Santa Rosa Beach and Golf Club in Florida. Both were amazing courses but one definitely humbled me after 18 holes on the hottest day...

In this episode, I'll discuss how I began my Journey of getting better at golf recently. A lot of the early stage was helped by learning and implementing course management into my game.
