Birk Nelson, PGA Professional/Orange Whip Trainer - Afterhours Encore

The primary focus of our podcast discussion revolves around the evolution of golf and its increasing disconnect from the average golfer. In our conversation, we explore the impact of modern equipment, particularly the shift from persimmon woods to contemporary materials, and how this has altered the dynamics of the game. Furthermore, we delve into the implications of longer golf courses necessitated by advancements in technology, which consequently increase costs and exclusivity. We also reflect on the resurgence of interest in golf post-COVID and the necessity for the sport to remain accessible to all enthusiasts. Ultimately, our dialogue emphasizes the importance of preserving the essence of the game while adapting to contemporary challenges.
