Breaking Par and Breaking Free: Ken Schall’s Story of Courage
Courageous Crossroads with Ken Schall
In this compelling episode of Courageous Crossroads, host Jeffrey L. Johnson sits down with PGA Professional Ken Schall to explore the highs and lows of a life dedicated to golf and personal redemption. From his humble beginnings in Waterloo, Iowa, to playing collegiate golf at New Mexico State, Ken’s journey in the sport has been nothing short of remarkable. He successfully navigated the grueling Q-School process and played on the PGA Tour, competing
alongside legends like Fred Couples, Corey Pavin, and Payne Stewart. Ken shares riveting stories from his time on the PGA Tour, including an unforgettable practice round with Lee Trevino at the U.S. Open and a head-to-head match against a young Tiger Woods.
However, Ken’s most profound journey was not on the golf course, but within himself. After decades as a functional alcoholic, he faced his greatest challenge—the decision to embrace sobriety. With the support of his family and the strength of his faith, Ken courageously overcame addiction and found a renewed sense of purpose. Now, he dedicates his life to mentoring young golfers and sharing his journey to inspire others. With wisdom, humility, and humor, Ken reflects on his transformation, the role of faith in his recovery, and the joy of living a purpose-driven life.
Whether you’re a golf enthusiast, someone navigating personal challenges, or simply seeking inspiration, this episode delivers an unforgettable story of resilience, self-discovery, and the courage to change.
