Welcome back to the Southern State of Golf podcast! In this episode, John sits down with Braden Olive, the golfer behind the popular Instagram account Golf Deep South. Broadcasting from Birmingham, Alabama, Braden brings a unique perspective on the region’s diverse golfing landscape—from charming hidden gems in small towns to bucket-list private clubs. Together, they dive into Braden’s journey from a college baseball pitcher who discovered golf just before COVID, to the storyteller capturing the heart of Southern golf courses online.

You’ll hear about Braden’s most memorable rounds, including a surprise inspiration from a trip to Rome, his approach to blending travel and golf, and why local munis can be just as special as marquee venues. They’ll swap stories about favorite course logos, share Alabama must-play lists, and dish about hidden gems across the Southeast. If you love discovering new courses and hearing the stories that make Southern golf so unique, this episode is for you. Grab your clubs and join us as we explore the Southern state of golf, one round at a time!
