Welcome back to the LA Golf Channel Podcast.

In this episode, I’m joined by Wakey the Caddie, ThePostmansPar Golf and Highwayskys for my first ever multi-guest podcast - and it was a proper laugh.

This one was filmed at the end of a long day of golf and content, so a quick apology in advance for the mic sharing, visual changes and camera issues during the episode. We had a few technical problems, but the conversation was too good not to share.

We get into:

• our £10 per man/hole skins game at Formby Hall
• first impressions of Formby Ladies Golf Club
• the brutal weather, the chaos of the day and the best moments on the course
• golf competition, course architecture and what makes a course memorable
• the mental side of golf, acceptance, preparation and handling bad holes
• honest golf banter with four lads who love the game

This episode is relaxed, funny and full of proper golf conversation from four creators who have all been on the podcast before - just this time together.

In this episode, I’m joined by Laura Scott to talk all about the mental game of golf. We explore anxiety, confidence, fear of failure, pressure, and mental resilience, along with practical techniques that can help golfers manage their thoughts better and play with more freedom. Laura shares her own story, her coaching approach, and why understanding your mindset can be just as important as improving your swing. A really honest and helpful conversation for anyone wanting to enjoy golf more and perform better on the course.

Welcome back to Episode 11 of the LA Golf Channel Podcast. In this episode, I’m joined by Josh Gudgeon, the creator behind one of the most talked-about new YouTube journeys in golf. We dive into Josh’s challenge to break 80 in just six months, the story behind the 350-yard drive, and how his journey is blending golf, storytelling, and YouTube in a completely different way.

We also talk about what makes a great YouTube video, how Josh has gone from working behind the camera to building his own channel, and why so many people are already buying into the Breaking Golf journey. From confidence and delusion, to coaching, clubs, pressure and production, this episode gives a proper behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build a golf series people genuinely care about.

A huge thank you as well to Breaking Beard for allowing us to use the podcast studio for this episode - it’s massively appreciated and helped make this conversation happen. The Breaking Beard podcast is hosted by BeardMeatsFood and Josh Gudgeon.
