Golf Is Better With Friends.
The Birdie Board Podcast is a show about the game of golf and the people who play it. From major championships and rising stars to weekend matches, golf trips, equipment, course design, and the traditions that shape the sport, we explore why golf is more than just a game.
Each episode focuses on the stories, moments, and friendly competition that make golf meaningful, whether you’re following the pros or teeing it up with friends. If you enjoy the banter, connection, and shared experiences that come with the game, this podcast is for you.

Episode 8: Golf 101 for the Obsessed - 8 Secrets Hidden in the Basics
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Curious why golf gets under your skin and stays there? In this episode, Corey pulls back the curtain on the game’s “simple” basics to reveal the deeper stuff: character, history, design, language, and the mental rhythm that keeps players hooked for life. You’ll hear how a self-policed honor code shaped the sport, why we play 18 holes, where birdies and bogeys came from, how ball dimples changed the flight forever, and why handicaps are the genius math that lets friends of different skill levels compete fairly.
We also touch on pace of play, the magic of your first pure strike, and a quick update on the latest Birdie Board release: feedback link in-app, festive holiday logo, and a new host control to manually override player handicaps for a match.
