  • X’s & O’s - Garrett Greene and Nicco Marchiol
    Apr 25 2024

    This week on Chasin’ Birdies, we aren’t taking any X- Outs. Instead, we’re sitting in with two college quarterbacks to hear from them about life, sports, and the pursuit of birdies.

    We open up the episode and dive into the background of both Garrett and Nicco. We talk about upbringing and why they both chose WV for their football careers. After talking about some games and the 2023 season, we jump over to some golf talk to tie it all together.

    It’s clear from the conversation they both are slightly addicted to golf..when they of course have time. We talk about the PGA Tour and LIV golf and get into some course talk.

    We round out the episode with our standard tap-in segment where each are asked questions that demand their quick witted response. Tune in now and let the easy listening begin. We know you’ll enjoy this one. Also - check out the full video on our YouTube channel.

  • More Than Legendary - Lee Trevino
    Apr 11 2024

    Every episode on Chasin’ Birdies serves a different purpose. The one constant, though, remains the same and that’s our love for the game and pursuit of the chase. Today’s episode is no different. Lee Trevino sits down with us and gives us a look inside his career and golf as a whole from his vantage point.

    The episode opens up with us having light banter with Lee. He gives us a glimpse of his early life before golf was even a thought. He tells the story of caddying and being around golf, but it wasn’t until after the Marines that he felt he had the game to compete professionally.

    Lee takes us on a ride with a story about his first tournament, which he won. A 6x major champion, Lee tells us about his 1971 season, where he won the US Open, Canadian Open, and The Open Championship consecutively. He shares some insight early on with swing mechanics and how technology wasn’t available at the time to dissect the game like it is today.

    We get into some stories about playing in the Ryder Cup with Arnold Palmer as the Captain. Jack Nicklaus, Sam Snead and Mo Norman stories, too. Sitting with a legend and hearing these stories don’t happen often. At the end of the day, we’re all still chasin’.

    We round out the episode with Lee telling us about his daily routine at home and his new clothing venture with his son, Daniel. Although he doesn’t play much golf, he still hangs at the course every day. We finish up with our standard Tap-In Segment, where Lee is asked 4 questions that demand his response. Tune in, share, and enjoy. We know you’ll love this one.

  • Grounded & Connected - Leo Herrera
    Mar 28 2024

    The Connected Golfer..that can mean so many things when it comes to golf. Leo Herrera is just that dude, and he joins us today on Chasin’ Birdies to cover a lot of golf talk…and staying connected.

    If you have social media, you may have seen Leo’s reels from time to time. If you haven’t, make sure you check him out. We open up the episode and talk with Leo about his pursuit of golf and his little range session with Viktor Hovland.

    Leo considers himself an exhibition golfer who tries to grow the game at a high level through content and teaching. He explains his idea behind The Connected Golfer, and it all starts to make sense.

    Leo talks about his win at the USGA Four-Ball at Chambers Bay in 2021, which was a wild story to hear. We chat about the development of golfers early on and whether or not someone just ‘has it’ in their ability to win events. Putter talk ensues..and it can’t be overlooked that the mallet putter is gaining popularity.

    We pose the Golfer’s Dilemma to Leo and get his thoughts on whether a caddie’s performance on the course affects the tip at the end of the round. We round out the episode with our standard Tap-In Segment, where we ask 4 questions that demand his quick response. We cover a lot in this episode and a lot of good stuff. Tune in and enjoy the banter.
