In Part 2 we jump right into the mid-amateur story. We get to hear the raw blow by blow of a guy on the verge of a huge win and encountering a couple of the most unlucky breaks imaginable.
What are the lessons to take from this, how did he bounce back, did he bounce back? What is next for Ryan in his competitive golf career? All of those answers and more in part two!
Ryan is a former NCAA standout at University of Texas San Antonio. Now back in Medicine Hat, he and his wife Sarah have a young son and Ryan works as a Real Estate agent.

Weâve broken Episode 5 into a two part series. In this episode, Dillon Batsel joins us to talk about a very special round of 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 programâs 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 Menâs 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?

Like, out loud. Heâs crossed paths with some very interesting people - just watch our reels and we donât 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. Heâll 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 Kevinâs favourite story #1; Troyâs 19 stroke story, big numbers 00:32:13 - 00:37:41 Kevinâs 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 donât 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 Kevinâs 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?

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.
