Carson Kallis has been competing—and winning—at a high level for more than two decades. Now, fresh off a dramatic one-shot victory at the 2026 Play Golf BC Assistants’ Championship, he joins Steve to tell the full story behind the win.

Carson breaks down his three-birdie start, the crucial eagle on the 14th and the tense finish that secured the title at The Dunes at Kamloops.

The conversation also goes beyond one tournament. Carson shares how he discovered golf, developed into one of Canada’s top junior players, earned an NCAA Division I opportunity and eventually captured the 2012 NAIA individual national championship with the University of Victoria.

Steve and Carson also discuss life at Burnaby Mountain, his approach to coaching, handling pressure, memorable moments from the course—and John Jamieson’s unbelievable 290-yard albatross hole-in-one during the same championship.

A relaxed conversation about competition, coaching and a lifetime in the game of golf.

What does it take to make golf look real on a Hollywood set?

This week on Steve Tees Off, Steve sits down with Nathan Leonhardt, Owner of Tour Development Academy, former tour player, PGA of BC award-winning instructor, and the official golf consultant for Apple TV+’s original series STICK, starring Owen Wilson.

Nathan shares his journey from picking up the game as a junior, earning a golf scholarship, turning pro, grinding through tournament life, and eventually building one of BC’s leading golf development academies.

Then we get into the Hollywood side of the story: how Nathan became involved with STICK, what it was like helping actors look believable on camera, the details golfers notice that most viewers don’t, and why making golf feel authentic is harder than it looks.

We also talk coaching, family, life balance, Tour Development Academy, player development, and whether the acting bug has officially bitten.

A great episode for anyone who loves golf, coaching, behind-the-scenes stories, Apple TV’s STICK, or the people shaping the game beyond the scorecard.

Matt Daniel is back on Steve Tees Off with one of the biggest stories of his golf career.

After recently turning 50, Matt earned his way into his first Senior U.S. Open, qualifying for one of the most prestigious senior championships in golf. This week, he tees it up at Scioto Country Club, and we could not be more excited to cheer him on.

In this episode, Matt takes us inside the full journey — from the pressure of qualifying to the moment it became real. He talks about his rounds at Mill Creek Country Club and Oakbrook Golf & Country Club, the shots that mattered, how he managed the nerves, and what it means to compete on this stage at this point in his career.

Steve and Matt also get into the mental side of competitive golf, preparation, expectations heading into Scioto, and what this moment means in the bigger picture of Matt’s golf journey.

This is a great conversation about persistence, pressure, belief, and the kind of golf story you can’t help but root for.

Let’s go Matt — we’re all cheering you on this week.
