What does it really take to start a golf podcast and keep going when the guests cancel, the numbers fluctuate and giving up feels easier?

In Episode 26 of the LA Golf Channel Podcast, Lee sits down with Dave from the Birdie Golf Club Podcast for an honest, funny and thoughtful conversation about golf, podcasting and the resilience required to build something meaningful.

Dave shares how his podcast evolved from two friends talking golf over a glass of whisky into more than 90 episodes featuring professional golfers, leading coaches and major golf brands. He opens up about the influence of his late father, balancing podcasting with work and family life, learning from failed projects and why creators should focus on meaningful conversations rather than obsessing over analytics.

They also discuss the Ryder Cup atmosphere, why LIV Golf struggled to recreate its magic, the global potential of the DP World Tour, Joe Dean’s remarkable British Masters victory and how Dave secured a future interview with Justin Rose.

Plus, Dave unveils The Better Project, his upcoming series featuring insights from golf experts and finishes with one of the most unusual golf theories ever heard on the podcast: do golfers with weaker chins have a natural advantage?
