Doug Smith is a golfer, podcaster, and broadcaster, who the Shrinks have been trying to get on the couch since season 1. In 2020, Bradford was searching for representation in golf media, and he found it in Doug — flowers are exchanged. Doug grew up in Lexington, Kentucky, and shares his experience as the only Black student at his high school. Golf came into Doug's life as a safe and nurturing space, providing connective tissue to other kids, and shaping his competitive edge. Now, when Doug gets out to the golf course, it's a calm respite from the nonstop action of raising his first child — he worries that junior golf is becoming unaffordable, and that he might not be able to provide that same space to his son.




In this session: flowers for everyone, being a selfish golf dad, give Doug some damn spikes.
