This week we are joined by Reid Martin. Reid is Mark Hubbard’s caddie on the PGA Tour and has been on his bag going on 3 years.  Reid is a road warrior in every sense of the word and has lived all over the country and moved during the pandemic back to Florida. He got his start playing golf around 6 years old and went on to play at UCF. If you’re looking to hear from a caddie who believes that every shot counts, that hockey is the sport to watch if you aren’t checking on in golf and why he packed up his things and moved to Florida at a moments notice, then this episode is for you. Let’s get started!

This week, we are joined by Bert Lamar.  If his name sounds familiar, it may be because he competed against Tony Hawk, was a world snowboarding champion, and ran a snowboard company that became the standard used in the sport.  Bert has been making the transition to golf and now also competes in Ironman competitions because the guy doesn't know how to dabble in anything, he dives in full bore.  This week we discuss Bert's transition between sports, his golf clothing line, Iliac, and his passion for the 80/20 fitness rule that he feels can transform the game of golf.
