Chip-N-Chat
Chip-n-Chat is more than a golf podcast.
It’s a space for community, storytelling, healing, laughter, and real conversation.
Hosted by Dakota Smith, Chip-n-Chat explores the stories people carry — both on and off the course. What started as casual conversations around the game has grown into something deeper: honest talks about grief, identity, passion, growth, faith, inclusion, creativity, and the people who make this community feel like home.
Built around the belief that golf can connect people in powerful ways, Chip-n-Chat is about showing up as yourself, connecting through stories, and creating meaningful conversations that remind people they are never alone.
Featuring guests from all walks of life — players, community leaders, creators, friends, and more — this new chapter of Chip-n-Chat is rooted in authenticity, belonging, and the moments that stay with us long after the round ends.

Episode 6 is here 'Baby Podcast, Big Conversations'—and we’re back on the mic after a little break, with more questions, reflections, and a healthy dose of chaos.
We talk about kids asking big questions in golf class (thanks to our course’s new Relox Robot Picker), sustainability in the sport, and Dakota’s upcoming PAT exam in September. From there, Glenn asks, “What are we learning through Chip-N-Chat?”—then avoids answering his own question with a detour into the zombie apocalypse.
Eventually, we dig deep. We talk about the importance of storytelling, the “boom” golf is experiencing, and how this game helps us connect—with each other and ourselves (cue the eye roll). Glenn shares a tough experience on the course, and we reflect on sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly.
We touch on podcast goals, the world around us, and the power of saying something—even if it’s uncomfortable. So we pause. We end with a moment of silence—and Glenn, of course, forgetting we were still recording.
It’s real. It’s messy. It’s us.
