The topic is GOLF. Our golf. The Golf Smarter podcast isn't about recaps or predictions from any of the professional golf tours, it's long form conversations that are informative, interesting, and just plain fun. Like most of the audience, host Fred Greene is an amateur golfer who doesn't teach, struggles with doubt, misses short putts, yet he loves to learn as much as he can about the game, its nuances, its history and future. For golfers of all skill levels, GOLF SMARTER provides course management strategy, tips, drills, advice, and insights from PGA Teaching Professionals. But our forte is digging deep with mental-game coaches and sports psychologists on how to be a smarter golfer. First launched in 2005, Golf Smarter, is the OG golf show that is now golf’s longest running podcast.
Our podcast is guaranteed to make you a better golfer. Sure, “guaranteed” is a strong claim when unsubstantiated, but based on more than 500 reviews in Apple Podcasts from golfers around the world, we feel confident saying that you’ll get better too! With a library of more than 1,000 unique interviews, host Fred Greene pursues questions that raise your golf IQ and achieve lower scores. We also bring you stories of golf “lifestyle” with club designers, golf course architects, authors, tech entrepreneurs, travel, and people with incredible golf stories…did you hear the one about the guy who snuck into North Korea to play their National Open? We were the only media outlet to cover the story!
