What a pleasure to have Emma at The Tie. Emma Carpenter is busier than most female college golfers, balancing her time between golf, podcasting(link below), school, singing, and honing her craft as a sports broadcaster. Emma has more ambition than most juniors in college but couldn't be a more down to earth, easy person to talk to. I had a blast getting to know Emma through this episode and t...

Putt-putt, the local muni, beer a hole, high level competition, the finest the country has to offer, they all have their place in golf, and we should make a point to experience every last one of them. It matters. Like we can't really be culinary experts if we haven't eaten something, we can't be golf experts if we haven't run the full gamete  of golf experiences. So, give this...

How this compares to other metrics in american sport and life in general. And most importantly why this is such a staple of the masters and what it says to us about what Augusta National is trying to bring to us each and every year. Enjoy this episode and enjo...

LACC, Riviera, Bel-Air, Stanford, the list is deep, but not as deep as it could have been… you’ve probably heard of George Thomas and Billy Bell.

Check out episode 2 of #historywithhenry to hear all about it! Hit us...
