Welcome to a very special episode of The Hole Story Podcast! In this episode, Robby and Jonathan are joined by Andrew Voss and Adam Van Zee, two golf enthusiasts from Indiana, to relive their unforgettable trip to Scotland for the Old Course Reverse Experience at St. Andrews. Together, they recount the thrill of being selected through the exclusive ballot process, teeing it up on some of the world’s most storied links, and forging fast friendships that made the trip even more memorable.

From the challenging greens and stunning views at the Castle Course, to the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of playing The Old Course in REVERSE, and finally walking the hallowed fairways of The Old Course itself, the foursome dives deep into the details, recounting standout shots, close calls, caddy mishaps, and the camaraderie that made each round so special. They share laughs about Scottish weather that surprised them (no rain gear needed!), the excitement of breaking personal golf records, and the simple joys of post-round meals and gelato in the storied town of St. Andrews.

Whether you're a serious golfer or a casual fan, this episode captures the spirit of golf—how it’s not just about the game, but about people, places, and the memories forged along the way. So sit back, relax, and get ready to join Robby, Jonathan, Andrew, and Adam for a heartfelt, humorous, and inspiring journey through the home of golf.

Robby and Jonathan are back with another episode of Course Corrections! They take us on a candid journey through their pursuit to get better at golf. Picking up from Jonathan’s initial fear of being told “you suck so bad” by a golf instructor, we follow his breakthrough after taking his first lesson—and how it fundamentally changed his approach to the game. From revisiting the basics with his gap wedge to embracing body-driven swing mechanics, Jonathan shares his aha moments and the sometimes hilarious perils of golf practice.

The episode covers more than just technique: the guys get real about their own struggles with consistency, motivation, and sticking to training regimens like The Stack System. Jonathan openly admits to his ups and downs—days he felt like quitting golf entirely, emergency calls for lessons, and unexpected victories. There’s a heartfelt celebration when he finally achieves his goal of breaking 90, and not just anywhere, but at The Old Course in St. Andrews.

Of course, the conversation dives into experimentation, like Jonathan’s ambitious “nine-iron experiment” with single-length club shafts. Robby and Jonathan also reflect on lessons learned from playing with accomplished golfers, smarter decision making on the course, and the real weight of data from tools like Arccos.

Whether you’re a weekend hacker or someone on a mission to lower your handicap, this episode is packed with laughs, honest assessments, practical takeaways, and a reminder that the real joy in golf often comes from the journey—and the company—you keep.

In this episode, Robby and Jonathan sit down with golf photographer Alex Napier, whose stunning visuals for iconic brands like Titleist and FootJoy have been inspiring golfers and gear lovers alike. Alex shares his unique journey from a law enforcement background in Ohio to capturing breathtaking golf courses in Japan and working with industry-leading companies.

Hear how Alex’s passion for both golf and photography developed, how a chance social media post launched his brand ambassador roles, and why his camera roll is a fascinating blend of arson scenes and immaculate fairways. We dig into Alex's creative process for product and course photography, the challenges (and etiquette) of shooting drone footage on golf courses, and why he believes finding your own artistic style is the key to success.
