S2E14: Qualifying – Part 4 – “The SVP Caddie” (feat. Brian Neault)
The 2026 tournament season is winding down, with only a few opportunities left for Derek to make progress towards winning his bet with Carson. Luckily, one of those opportunities is just 45 minutes away and has become a staple on Derek’s tournament schedule… the local qualifier for the PGA TOUR’s annual World Wide Technology Championship. Almost exactly a year ago, Derek’s “cousin-in-law”, Mike Kelly, caddied for him en-route to a not-so-great score of 82. This year, Derek is bringing in the best possible looper he knows… his actual cousin, and lifelong best friend, Brian Neault. Today’s episode features the most on-course audio we’ve ever captured, as Derek and Brian attempt to advance through pre-qualifying and get one step closer to competing in a PGA TOUR event in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.Enjoying the show?

S2E13: The Road to Augusta (feat. Nik Neal)
If you thought Derek was the delusional one (in a good way, of course), just wait until you meet today’s guest, Nik Neal. A certified physical therapist and founder and CEO of the golf fitness platform, Golf Strong Hit Bombs, Nik is a “late bloomer” in golf, so to speak, who has fallen in and out of love with the game multiple times over the past three decades. But he may be saving his best for last. With big ambitions and a growing brand, Nik has his sights set on golf’s ultimate prize – a ticket to Augusta National to compete in the Masters. Yes, as a player.For more information about Nik, GSHB, and The Road to Augusta: If you’re interested in learning more about Nik’s golf fitness platform and/or checking-out how he chronicles his journey to Augusta, visit his website at https://golfstronghitbombs.com/ or subscribe to his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@GolfStrongHitBombsOfficialEnjoying the show?

S2E12: Success on Her Own Terms (feat. Rachel Heck)
At just 25 years old, Rachel Heck has accomplished more in golf than most players do in a lifetime. A three-time NCAA champion and WGCA All-American, she became Nike Golf’s first-ever NIL athlete while at Stanford. And then, after completing one of the most decorated collegiate careers in the history of women’s golf, she made an equally remarkable decision… not to turn pro at all.Today, Rachel continues to compete as an amateur while building a professional career and serving as a public affairs officer in the U.S. Air Force Reserve. Join Derek and Rachel for a conversation about golf, ambition, identity, and having the confidence to define success on your own terms… Plus how a little childhood bribery involving ice cream helped start it all.Enjoying the show?

S2EP9: Qualifying – Part 3 – The Mid-Am (feat. Dad)
In the triad of the USGA’s biggest events every year, the Mid-Amateur is, in theory, the “easiest” to qualify for, thanks to its age restriction of 25 or older. But not so fast. Even mid-amateurs can play some damn good golf. Join Derek and his dad, Joe, as they recap Derek’s final qualifier of the summer, both before and after the round from the car, as well as on-course audio captured during some of the key moments. It was an action-packed day that neither of them will soon forget.Enjoying the show? Be sure to follow and leave us a review if you’re feeling generous.

S2E8: From a Broken Down Van to the Gold Standard of Junior Golf (feat. Stephen Hamblin)
When American Junior Golf Association Executive Director Stephen Hamblin stepped into the role 42 years ago, the AJGA had a broken-down van, a dozen annual events, five full-time employees, and an operating budget of just $200,000. Today, the AJGA has grown by 10x to 100x in nearly every measurable category… and all under Hamblin’s leadership. Join Derek and Stephen for a fun and memorable conversation about the past, present, and future of junior golf, and discover why the junior golf movement was well underway before Tiger Woods’ iconic 1997 victory at The Masters.Enjoying the show?
