  • Episode 6 focuses on attending a Major Championship. We know we are well past major season, but thinking this is the time of year that average people start thinking about booking a trip. Dave Ridgedale ('99 Sr. Open, '19 Open), Tim Bloomfield ('17 Masters, '24 PGA) and Troy Bartman ('15 Open) share their thoughts on the ins and outs of attending a major golf tournament.Hear about weather, about being in Northern Ireland when an Irishman wins. Hear about getting access and what you can expect or maybe what you can dream of... Hear about the number one player in the world on the chiro table and another number one getting his mug shot.We'd love to hear your comments not only on this episode, but sharing your own experiences and your own recommendations!FollowThroughPod Social & Website Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefollowthroughpod website: https://followthroughpod.com/Timestamps:00:00:00 - 00:00:30 INTRO00:00:30 - 00:02:31 Welcome to the show Dave Ridgedale and Tim Bloomfield00:02:31 - 00:03:48 Souvenirs00:03:48 - 00:04:14 Setting the stage for talking about attending a major00:04:14 - 00:06:15 Royal Portrush - North Ireland00:06:15 - 00:15:39 The Masters (as a special guest of Mercedes) and a lot of access!00:15:39 - 00:17:07 How do you get an opportunity like this?00:17:07 - 00:20:21 St. Andrew’s and The Open00:20:21 - 00:22:22 Monday finish and small villages 00:22:22 - 00:25:24 Irish family connections, accommodations, Dale sighting! 00:25:24 - 00:28:22 Royal Portrush 2025?

  • We’ve broken Episode 5 into a two part series. In this episode, Dillon Batsel joins us to talk about a very special round of golf. But before we get to that magical round we learn a ton about the person that Dillon is, what drives him and just how passionate he is about golf. You thought you loved golf, wait until you hear Dillon talk.Dillon is a former NCAA standout at Jacksonville University in Florida. He continues to compete at a level here in Canada and has been named Player of the Year in Alberta and led the order of merit. He completed his MBA and works at the Medicine Hat College as both an instructor in the business faculty and serves as the program’s golf coach. In the summer he works as an Assistant Pros at Desert Blume Golf Club in Medicine Hat where is a sought after golf instructor.We think people will really enjoy part 1 of this episode as it sets the stage for the ultimate story that we will release next week - a blow by blow of how Dillon shot 58 (with a penalty stroke!) on a blustery Men’s Night at Desert Blume.If you are enjoying the show, please be sure to like and subscribe!FollowThroughPod Social & Website Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefollowthroughpod website: https://followthroughpod.com/Jacksonville University bioDesert Blume Golf Clubhttps://www.instagram.com/dillonbatsel/Timestamps:00:00:00 - 00:00:45 INTRO00:00:45 - 00:03:05 Welcome to the show Dillon Batsel00:03:05 - 00:04:30 Who are The Follow Through Pod?00:04:30 - 00:7:00 When were you hooked?

  • Episode 4 is out and Tim Hall joins the crew to talk about all the unique characters you meet in this game. His longtime connection to Redcliff and the Riverview Club gave him a front row seat to plenty of shenanigans.Timmy, the self-proclaimed funniest man in Alberta (if not Canada) brings his clever wit and cheerful spirit and will have you giggling. Like, out loud. He’s crossed paths with some very interesting people - just watch our reels and we don’t even get to the part where he caddied in the World Blind Golfers Championship in South Africa.Tim may have a very closed setup but has an open heart. He’ll share his insights into sim golf and how he has become a generous host to many.

  • In episode 3 Kevin Fuhrmann joins the pod to talk about his love/hate relationship with the game. A natural athlete who played high levels of hockey and baseball, Kevin eventually turned to competitive bodybuilding. While he underplays his accomplishments there, he quite obviously and visibly puts the rest of us to shame.Kevin uses golf to feed his competitive drive, which as you will hear, is a bit of a double edge sword for him. His desire to be better balanced against a fear of never getting there has him doing some deep reflection.In the end, this really is a podcast for everyone. While you will hear the same great stories the show is known for sharing, you will also get to explore that vulnerable side of the game. The one where a gallery has gathered around you on the first tee or the last green. And the pressure, real or perceived, is there and you want to perform. Join us to hear how Kevin feels he is doing!Sponsors Would you like to sponsor? https://followthroughpod.com Timestamps:00:00:00 - 00:00:30 INTRO00:00:30 - 00:01:30 Welcome to the show00:01:25 - 00:06:02 Redcliff Tales, trying to break 8000:06:02 - 00:10:07 Bodybuilding, path to and from golf00:10:07 - 00:13:12 How do you improve; what motivates you?00:13:12 - 00:18:07 Ultimate day (part II) 00:18:07 - 00:22:42 Limited play courses - Old Works vs. Wilderness Club; Cove Club, Golf in Mexico 00:22:42 - 00:32:13 Kevin’s favourite story #1; Troy’s 19 stroke story, big numbers 00:32:13 - 00:37:41 Kevin’s favourite story #2 36:43 - How many stories start with I met this guy in a back alley00:37:41 - 00:39:37 What are your benchmarks to make sure you don’t quit? 00:39:37 - 00:51:12 Bugsy gets vulnerable - Going deep on the fear of failure; self regulation 00:51:12 - 00:53:24 Practising with intent00:53:24 - 01:01:07 Board Game 01:01:07 - 01:03:59 Kevin’s feelings on fivesomes; playing for money 01:03:59 - 01:06:35 Thoughts on validating birdies01:06:35 - 01:12:54 Has a bad round ever ruined your day?

  • Steve Pahl and Ryan Dorton join Corey and Troy to talk about their recent trip to Bandon, Oregon. We will chat about the entire experience from the travel company to the food to the travel arrangements. And of course we will talk a lot about the golf, the courses, the caddies, the weather and mostly the great memories. Be sure to visit our youtube page to check out the companion film!

  • In this, our inaugural episode, we bring mystery guest Darren MacMillan to the studio. Darren has spent a good portion of his career as a math teacher and most recently has served as the Director of Enhanced Programming for Prairie Rose School Division. This has been an opportunity for him to show off his organizational skills while being at the heart of establishing several academies. Darren has played a lot of hockey in his life and at some high levels. His family is well woven into the hockey world whether that be in the WHL, NCAA and even the NHL. In his downtime from work and working out, Mac likes to spend some time on the golf course. A 10 handicap at the time of this recording, he has an interesting enough game to be significantly lower or higher than that on any given day!We will cover a lot of ground in this episode, from why we play golf to rec hockey to sitcom pilots. We hope you enjoy the show and if you do, please like, share and subscribe to the podcast. We will have regular episodes coming out!Sponsors Would you like to sponsor? https://followthroughpod.com Timestamps:00:00:30 - 00:01:40 Intros 00:01:40 - 00:02:02 Format of Show 00:02:02 - 00:05:11 Fines 00:05:11 - 00:06:20 What’s the process for mystery guests? 00:06:20 - 00:06:49 Pod preparation or lack thereof 00:06:49 - 00:07:59 Favourite shot 00:07:59 - 00:09:43 Practice 00:09:43 - 00:10:39 Hockey Practice 00:10:39 - 00:12:11 Volume of play 00:12:11 - 00:15:26 Handicap adjustment 00:15:26 - 00:20:37 The algebra of why we play this game? 00:20:37 - 00:23:48 Team golf 00:23:48 - 00:25:28 Competition 00:25:28 - 00:28:50 Playing through injuries by using pie charts? 00:28:50 - 00:34:14 Managing emotions 00:34:14 - 00:38:10 Troy makes us all emotional 00:38:10 - 00:39:30 Golf Trips 00:39:30 - 00:42:44 Bandon prep requires uncrustables? 00:42:44 - 00:44:15 Aces 00:44:15 - 00:45:09 Back on the lack of preparation 00:45:09 - 00:45:29 Podcasting as a Ponzi scheme? 00:45:29 - 00:47:40 Salt Lake City hockey 00:47:40 - 00:53:15 We wrote a sitcom once 00:53:15 - 00:59:09 Final ImpressionsFollowThroughPod Social & Website Instagram: /thefollowthroughpod website: https://followthroughpod.com/
