#057 - Kareem Rahma has never seen his therapist

January 03, 2023 05:00 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MB

Kareem Rahma is a lot of things. He's a standup comedian, a podcaster, a documentarian, and is the host of a buzzing new TikTok show, Keep the Meter Running. He's also a naturally-gifted, mostly-irregular golfer, who joined the Shrinks for a lively conversation about New York City, therapy, and making fun of your friends.  Weekly phone calls with his therapist are taken during long walks around his neighborhood; a  relationship that inspired a podcast concept, Walks of Life, which features o...

#056 - Sierra Madre is not your Padre's golf company

December 27, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 57.2 MB

Bonny and Michelle met in yoga class. Among many things, they connected over the lack of available options for women’s golf clothing. They got to designing, with a simple edict in mind: each piece must be considerate to how women functionally use the clothing on the golf course. That means pockets, that means mock-necks, that means ZERO skort mullets. Sierra Madre was born. What Bonny and Michelle designed encapsulates a growing wave in golf fashion: approachable, golf-agnostic, flexible pie...

#055 - Seamus Golf's Akbar Chisti bought a Red Rooster

December 20, 2022 05:00 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MB

Akbar Chisti and his wife, Megan, started Seamus Golf 11 years ago — they were one of the first in a slew of small makers in the golf space who have since helped define the look and feel of "new golf". The son of Pakistani immigrants, Akbar learned golf in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, while skipping Sunday school at his local mosque. He would eventually join the caddie ranks at Bandon Dunes quickly after the now-mega-resort opened in 2001, and now balances his business with coaching his...

#054 - Daniel Theophilus Augustus IV has the best name in golf

December 13, 2022 05:00 - 50 minutes - 46.7 MB

Daniel Augustus (full name in session title) is a Bermudian professional golfer on the APGA Tour. He has a widely covered childhood story — it's an emotional one. But through hardship, Daniel pushed forward: he found golf and put every ounce of himself into becoming a professional athlete. More importantly, he worked therapy into his life to address the scar tissue left from his childhood, and now is committed to self care and personal validation.  In this session: the family cast-iron pan,...

BONUS: The Shrinks hate toast and cope with failure

December 08, 2022 05:00 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MB

Who else loves a Thursday Bonus? The Shrinks grouped up for an all-too-rare session together, to ruminate on bagels and other breakfast breads, and Connor is so ill. The bois also discuss recent therapy conversations, the act of journaling and other forms of self-care, and how they deal with failure.  In this session: Bradford's Breakfast Bread Power Rankings, English slander, what we've learned. As always, thanks for listening to Group Golf Therapy! #mindyourgolf Please subscribe, rate o...

#053 - Jeremy Kirkland inspired Group Golf Therapy

December 06, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 65.4 MB

Jeremy Kirkland has been a #podboy since 2016 — an eternity, by podverse standards. His show, Blamo!, is artfully described as "a podcast about people wearing clothes." Drew has been a longtime listener, and he even copped to Blamo!'s influence on the creation of Group Golf Therapy — so it was only right to have Jeremy on the couch to spit on one of his other interests: golf. Jeremy regales the Shrinks with his journey to golf, his balancing act of aspirational consumerism, and his daughter'...

#052 - Aaron Chewning's name is not "San Andreas"

November 29, 2022 05:00 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MB

Aaron Chewning has been chewning out comedy content since the days of Internet yore (Vine). But his recent venture, St. André — an ode to Atlanta co-inhabitant, André 3000 — has its phasers set to stun the golf world. The Shrinks set aside the first 20 minutes of this session to shower Aaron with compliments for his and his team's work on St. André: it's some of the only golf content the Shrinks happily share with each other in the panoptic Shrinks Chat. Go watch for yourselves, but St. Andr...

#051 - Casey Bannon has unbelievable feet

November 22, 2022 04:58 - 1 hour - 64.9 MB

Casey Bannon is a golf storyteller: he holds down the editorial wing at The Golfer's Journal, and really wants to run a piece about Robert Garrigus' weed farm. Casey also wears two pairs of socks at once, and is developing queues that help him stay present in an increasingly noisy world. The Shrinks brought Casey on the couch to discuss the mystique of good golf events, The Plateau Effect, and as the session title would suggest, Casey's SWEET FEET. In this session: GoT dream foursomes, Big ...

#050 - Jermaine Kearse is Evergreen

November 15, 2022 06:04 - 1 hour - 60 MB

#049 - Jordan Thomas wants to support you

November 08, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 57.9 MB

Things got bad for Jordan Thomas. In 2005, a 16 year-old Jordan lost both of his legs in a tragic boating accident. He describes that, beyond the road to physical recovery, his mental and emotional health would take much longer to be set right. But Jordan mustered the courage to ask for help — friends and family rallied around, and helped inspire what Jordan has become: a giver, and a support engine for young people around the world who similarly require prostheses. In addition to running th...

#048 - Sadena Parks loves cantaloupe

November 01, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 61.7 MB

Sadena Parks is undeniably, unabashedly herself. It's something she challenged herself with during her professional golf hiatus: to walk into every room unafraid to be herself. Now she's back in competition mode — on June 2, she won THE JOHN SHIPPEN National Golf Invitational — and is making another run toward the LPGA. But this time around, her inner child is calling some of the shots, cartwheels and NERF guns very much included.  In this session: coconut water that will rock your world, D...

#047 - Lawrence Schlossman and Cole Young: Notes on the Etymology of Jawns

October 25, 2022 04:00 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MB

Lawrence Schlossman is one half of the fashion empire, Throwing Fits. Cole Owens-Young needs no introduction; he runs Metalwood Studio, and his name has been dropped on nearly every MF GGT podcast to date. We brought these two sartorial wündermen onto the couch to unpack the ramp-up of golfcore: the catalysts and spark plugs responsible for golf fashion's reinvention.  In this session: where "jawns" comes from, why skate and golf collide, Cole is a frog boy. As always, thanks for listening...

#046 - Julia Rae learned golf for a movie

October 18, 2022 04:00 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MB

Julia Rae's first film role is a golf movie. Wow. She's one of the leads in the upcoming, festival award winning movie, "Playing Through", which documents the life of Ann Gregory, the first Black woman to compete in a USGA championship. Julia lives in LA, but is deeply connected to her Philly roots, and will never give up Mom's cooking.

#045 - Tom Coyne believes in ghosts

October 11, 2022 04:40 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MB

Plenty of swing changes and life changes have unfolded for Tom Coyne since he wrote A Course Called Ireland in 2009: he had kids, quit drinking, wrote two follow-up books detailing his journey-in-entirety of golf and relationships in Scotland and America along the way. A dream job — to walk from one bucket-list course to another, and getting to write about it — but it's work. Raising a family, and treating a cancer diagnosis this year have prompted Tom to spend more time around, yet the trav...

#044 - Ben Boskovich is the Potato Chip King

October 05, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 57.2 MB

Ben Boskovich is coming back to golf with full force. After putting down his clubs in pursuit of his dream job — Deputy Editor at Esquire — in New York City, Ben has spent the past few years falling back in love with the game he grew up around. It started with sleepless nights; turning to visualizations of playing his childhood golf course to distract a clouded mind. Now, Ben is soaking up all that the new wave of golf has washed ashore: the fashion, the YouTube final round replays of vintage...

#043 - Rabbi Marc is an identity thief

September 27, 2022 04:00 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MB

Is it a coincidence that we release this session with an ordained rabbi the morning after Rosh Hashanah? Absolutely. Also, Rabbi Marc isn't ordained — he isn't a rabbi at all (don't worry though, he is Jewish). Instead, Ben Something from southern California went on eBay early in the pandemic to buy a used golf bag to feed his budding golf interest; the leather staff bag he purchased arrived at his door, and upon opening the box saw "Rabbi Marc Gellman" emblazoned across the front in slightl...

#042 - Jacques Slade has a safe word

September 20, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 60.4 MB

Jacques Slade has his hands in a lot of things: he's built a successful YouTube channel, he's made sneakers with Nike, he's acted in feature films. He's also become golf obsessed, and is learning more about himself through playing the game. Jacques came to the GGT couch with loads of opinions on the state of fashion in professional golf, how sneaker culture can bring more people to the golf course, and how learning Spanish is helping him get ready for his next round. In this session: what s...

But where one chapter concludes, another commences: the Shrinks will spend the next several weeks tinkering, sitting down to build season 3, and readying the release of a few entirely new ways to connect with Group Golf Therapy...

#039 - LaJethro Jenkins is going to disappear

July 14, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 63.5 MB

John Nichols owes a lot to golf, and to Bradford. The two became pandy golf buddies, and now the basketball media personality (otherwise known as LaJethro Jenkins) is fully hooked on finding meaning on the course. John's also a new father, and it's instantly evident how much family means to him. John is on a mission to break away from his phone, something that both golf and fatherhood are drilling into him. Believe us: when John gets paid, LaJethro is going to disappear. In this session: pa...

In the pandemic, Richard took to golf with obsessive vigor, and has even taken to writing a few ...

Ben is living proof that there's creativity and passion in all of us.  In this session: WATCHES, gifts from Grandpa, breakfast burritos. As always, thanks ...

Josh Dobbs is just one year into his golf journey. The newly signed quarterback for the Cleveland Browns seeks the golf course to unwind from the mania that is the NFL season.

Just last month, Josh hosted his first charity golf event, which brought together friends, family, and fellow University of Tennessee alumni to support local Knoxville organizations. ...
