Nick Kimmel, 2022 Simpson Cup Aug 26, 2022

Show notes

Nick Kimmel grew up in the small town of Moses Lake, WA. In 2008, Nick enlisted in the United States Marine Corps as a Combat Engineer. He was stationed in Japan after training. His time in service includes two combat deployments to Afghanistan. In December 2011 during his second deployment, Nick's platoon was tasked with building two small patrol bases in the Sangin Valley in Northern Helmand Province. On day four of the mission, Nick jumped off the forks of a forklift and landed on 40lbs of homemade explosives. Somehow, only 1/3 of the charge detonated. The blast instantly took both legs above the knee and his left arm above the elbow. After a long road of recovery Nick found himself with a renewed interest in golf. Next week Nick will play on his second Simpson Cup event. His story is about passion, drive and determination. Enjoy!

Josh McCain, Big Sky Bravery Aug 19, 2022

Show notes

Josh McCain is the founder and CEO of Big Sky Bravery. BSB is a non-profit that operates out of Bozeman, Montana whose focus is strategic programs for Active Duty Special Operations Soldiers. What makes them unique is the Active Duty part of it all, as 99.9% of all other Military/Veteran related charity or Veteran Service Organizations focus on life after service. BSB accomplishes their mission by running multiple Task Forces (programs) throughout the year. They are one of the few Military/Veteran organizations that I can personally say is making a major difference in this space. To find out more and support the organization please visit them at www.bigskybravery.org

Josh is a Montana kid at heart. We both have a passion for service, the great state we grew up in, and golf. I could not be more thankful to him for taking the time to share his story, what drives him everyday, and what the future holds. Enjoy.

Erik Heltne, BubbaWhips Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

Erik Heltne is the founder of BubbaWhips. What started as an idea between friends during the cold Minnesota winter has evolved into a thriving family run small business. Thinking about the vintage or retro look in golf, Erik thought about how players practice and wondered if alignment sticks could be turned back in time. BubbaWhips are hand painted and finished in Minnesota. All are made of hickory, a throwback to golf’s original wood shaft. To find out more about Erik and BubbaWhips, check out the following links:

Show notes

Alex Deibold is a Professional Snowboarder, Husband, Father, Olympic Bronze Medalist, and avid golfer. His story is full of highs and lows, but one constant: Snowboarding. With his parents' support Alex started on a board at an early age. He found success quickly once he started competing. He attended the Stratton Mountain School to focus on snowboarding (and a little school) before being selected to the U.S. National Team. He has competed in the Olympics twice, winning the Bronze Medal in Snowboard Cross at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Days leading up to the 2022 Winter Olympics, Alex suffered a crash landing him in a medically induced coma. Since then, he and his wife have welcomed a beautiful baby girl into their world.

Alex and I talk about all things snowboarding, his road to the Olympics, the highs and lows of competition, mental health, service and transition, parenting, and a little golf. To find out more and follow his journey, check out the following links:

Mason Reed, MR.MA Golf Jun 09, 2022

Show notes

Mason Reed and his partner Matt started MR. MA Golf in 2021 during post round drinks at their favorite golf course in Austin, TX. Both self-labeled golf sickos, they wanted more not only out of their games but something to fuel their ever growing addiction to golf. What they started is an amazing clothing company that they would be proud to wear, have some fun along the way, and give back. A little over a year into the venture now finds them sponsoring injured veteran golfers all over the world. And this is just the start....

Alex Fourie, #westandwithukraine & Single Hand Golf Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

Alex Fourie is an inspiration to all. Alex was in Ukraine with a cleft lip, cleft palate, and one arm which were a direct result of the world’s worst nuclear disaster at Chernobyl. Alex spent the first seven years of his life bouncing from orphanage to orphanage until he was adopted by a South African couple who were studying in Montgomery, AL. Alex’s organization “Single Hand Golf” has created a t-shirt that will be sold online and 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the charitable foundation, Hope Now, the organization responsible for his adoption. To date, Alex has donated over $10,000 to Hope Now. But that is only half of Alex’s story……

Alex is a level 1 PGA Golf Instructor and the # 1 one-arm golfer in the United States. He lives outside Knoxville, TN with his wife and daughter. Later this summer, Alex will be playing in the inaugural USGA U.S. Adaptive Open in the Village of Pinehurst, NC. This is his story. Enjoy!
