In Episode 22 of Nine Holes, Nine Questions, I’m joined by Ally from Chasing Pars.

Ally has been podcasting for around 15 years, starting in football before moving into the golf space with Out Here Chasing Pars. In this episode, we talk about how he went from thinking golf was an old man’s game to becoming completely hooked after lockdown.

We discuss golf, podcasting, the UK golf creator community, fitness, weight loss, competitiveness, mental health, family, and why the stories behind normal golfers can be just as powerful as the biggest names in the game.

Ally opens up about going from 23 stone to changing his lifestyle, using fitness and running as part of his routine, finding golf after football, and how conversations on the golf course can sometimes feel like free therapy.

This episode is about much more than chasing pars. It’s about finding something that gives you purpose, connection, competition and community.

Listen to Out Here Chasing Pars for more golf conversations from across the golf community.
