n this episode of the LA Golf Channel Podcast, things are a little different.

Wakey The Caddy takes over as host, and this time I’m the guest.

This is probably one of the most personal conversations I’ve had on the podcast so far. We talk about the real story behind LA Golf Channel, why I started filming my golf journey, struggling with confidence and anxiety on the golf course, building self-belief through content, and how golf has opened doors I never expected.

We also get into the reality behind the scenes - balancing family life, work, content creation, late nights, early mornings, brand opportunities, Liverpool FC, Turkey, Blitz Golf, Golf Clubber, Beyond Golf, and the people who have helped make this journey what it is.

A massive thank you to Wakey for asking the questions and creating a space where people can hopefully get to know the person behind LA Golf Channel a little bit better.

This one is less about golf scores, and more about confidence, friendship, family, gratitude and saying yes to opportunities that scare you.

If you’ve ever struggled with confidence, overthought putting yourself out there, or wondered what goes on behind the scenes of building a golf content channel, I hope this episode gives you something to take away.

Thanks as always for watching and supporting the podcast.

In this episode of the LA Golf Channel Podcast, I’m joined by Kris, also known as The Golfing Medic, a scratch golfer, content creator and paediatric doctor working at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

This conversation goes much deeper than just handicap talk. Kris shares how he got back into golf after an eight-year break, how he reached a 0.0 handicap, and how the pressure of working in medicine has shaped the way he manages emotions on the golf course.

We talk about the mental side of golf, course management, playing under pressure, first tee nerves, scratch competitions, Open Qualifying, team golf, handicap events, and why chasing birdies can sometimes lead to bogeys and doubles.

Kris also gives a brilliant insight into how better players think their way around a golf course, including when to attack pins, when to play safe, how to prepare for big competitions, and why the best golfers are often the ones who make the smartest decisions rather than the flashiest ones.

This is a great episode for any golfer trying to improve their mindset, lower their handicap, understand course strategy, or learn what it really takes to play scratch golf.

In this episode we cover:

• How Kris became a scratch golfer
• Returning to golf after university and medicine
• The link between pressure in work and pressure in golf
• How to stay calm after a bad shot
• Course management for better scores
• Preparing for Open Qualifying

We get into how we first connected through Instagram, how the golf community can create real friendships, and why golf and social media are more similar than most people think. Ryan opens up about the emotional ups and downs of the game, learning to stop obsessing over numbers, accepting bad shots, and how that change in mindset actually helped him play better golf.

This episode also dives into burnout in golf, chasing goals like scratch golf, under par rounds, and a hole in one, and the moment Ryan realised that enjoying the journey mattered more than constantly forcing the destination. We also chat about links golf vs parkland golf, being an aggressive player, playing iconic courses, content creation, and where golf media might take him next.
