On this episode, we interview Blair Wheeler, an ordinary golfer who, despite not being a PGA tour pro, coach, or fitness expert, has carved out a niche as a 'golf influencer.' He partners with top golf brands (like PXG) and works closely with coaches and PGA pros, all while maintaining a handicap index of 11.2. Yes, you read that correctly.

Our conversation with Blair is relatable and insightful, focusing on his journey to improve his golf game while juggling work and family life. It offers practical advice for golfers aiming to transition from a 20 to a 10 handicap, providing a fresh perspective beyond the routines of professional golfers. We truly appreciate Blair taking to time to come on, have some laughs, and share his experiences.
