Chip-N-Chat

In Episode 7, we welcome our very first guest: Robert Silky, Golf & Business Operations Coordinator at Meadow Park Golf Course in Tacoma, WA. A PGA Member with experience at Gold Mountain, Chambers Bay, and Augusta National, Robert shares his big “why”, what keeps him grounded, and how golf can be a vehicle for leadership, community, and connection.

Episode 6 is here 'Baby Podcast, Big Conversations'—and we’re back on the mic after a little break, with more questions, reflections, and a healthy dose of chaos. We talk about kids asking big questions in golf class (thanks to our course’s new Relox Robot Picker), sustainability in the sport, and Dakota’s upcoming PAT exam in September. From there, Glenn asks, “What are we learning through Chip-N-Chat?”—then avoids answering his own question with a detour into the zombie ap

In this episode, we open with a quote from Thich Nhat Hanh about mindful walking, which sets the tone for a more laid-back and reflective vibe. We talk about the sacredness of greens (both metaphorically and literally), how course design affects play, and the differences between public and private golf culture—from dress codes to family support in unexpected ways.

In Episode 4, Glenn and Dakota show up tired—and totally themselves. They talk about the hard parts of turning passion into career, the importance of alone time, and the weird therapy that is balancing a golf ball on a wedge. From slice fixes to D&D reflections, “I’m a delicate flower” moments to emotional aftershocks, this episode is about softness, slowness, and the gift of taking up space.

In Episode 3, we wrap up the chipping game and (officially) crown Glenn the winner… even though he never said a word. But just as we gear up for a fun family handoff, we hit a little snag—turns out, the audio from our special guests didn’t make it. What started as a group episode became a solo wrap-up full of good vibes, reflections, and a little lesson in rolling with the punches. We talk golf, growth, and what it means to stay open—on the course and off it.

In this episode, we dive a little deeper into the bunkers of the mind and the game. Glenn and Dakota chip away at the mental side of golf and life, reflecting on pressure, perseverance, and staying grounded through it all. But don’t worry—it’s not all heavy. There’s plenty of laughter, a chipping showdown (that Glenn may or may not have won), and the kind of honest chat you can only have when you’re hitting balls and talking big feels.

What begins as a casual chipping lesson on the range becomes much more. In this first episode of Chip-N-Chat, Glenn and Dakota ease into an honest conversation about the golf community—what drew them in, what kept them going, and what they hope to build moving forward.
