🎙️ Chip-N-Chat | Episode 2: Heads Up, Chips Down


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.
