Talking Texas Golf !

GREAT NEWS FROM PAT. “I am excited to announce the debut show of Hit It Where They Mow (Talking Golf in Texas) this Saturday morning at 8 am with special guests Parker and Pierceson Coody. The talented twins embark on their 2023 Kornferry Tour season and my old Trusty Sidekick George Machock helps with the interview. Entitled “A Family Tradition,” the Plano twins share their thoughts about having a grandfather who won the 1971 Masters and much more. You can view the podcast at www.vokalnow.com and it will also be available via Apple and Spotify. It begins a 12-show series culminating on April 8th, the Saturday of the 2023 Masters. Please spread the word — it is especially in the wheelhouse of “golf geeks” but also about life with a decidedly Texas slant.”

BCSBALL WILL POST THE LINK TO LISTEN LIVE AND HOPEFULLY POST THE ARCHIVED EPISODES.
