The Pride of Deerfield Lakes // Bubba Dickerson Oct 24, 2024

Where do we start?
Bubba Dickerson is a legend. He grew up in Hilliard, FL and learned how to play golf at Deerfield Lakes Golf Club in Callahan. There are many stories from the past about golfers that dug it out of the dirt, but our guy, Bubba Dickerson, learned how to get the ball in the hole at young age on a course that is now a disc golf course.
After being named a Rolex All-America first team selection in 1997 and 1998, Bubba went on to become Golf Digest's fifth-ranked national junior player in 1998. His stellar high-school career carried over to the University of Florida, where he would win a natty, and later be crowned the US Amateur Champion at East Lake in 2001.
We've all played a lot of golf with Bubba over the years, and hope that you have as much fun listening to the chat as we did catching up with the old boy.

Local legend, Jimmy Ellis, joins the pod this week to talk about his recent domination at the Florida State Amateur.
Jimmy ran away with Florida Am last month down in at Quail Valley in Vero Beach, FL last month with a final round 64, and absolutely dunked on the competition.
Ever the family man, Jimmy even drove back home to Atlantic Beach after the 3rd round for his daughters dance recital! The 3-hour drive only phased him on the first hole where he would card his only bogey of the day. Ellis would see nine birdies, five on the front, and four on the back. What a stud.

The Mayor of Tempo Town // Chris Kirk Mar 22, 2023

Welcome to Tempo Town, all caddies welcome!
We’re joined this week by the mayor himself, Chris Kirk, to chat about his recent win at The Honda Classic, his rotation of caddies, bullpen sessions, and how to pause at the top of your backswing.
After an 8 year draught, Kirk is back in the winner’s circle, and talks about how instrumental his caddie was to that win. Hint, it wasn’t Pricey.
Some might call it a sliding door moment, but Aron Price can fully claim Kirkie’s win after leading him to an MC at the Waste Management Open, and a WD at Riviera.
Having played many rounds together over the years, Matty and Pricey bring up some great stories from the past, and chat about Kirk’s time at UGA.
He’s got bros in different area codes. Please welcome, Chris Kirk!

With a sparkling weekend at Sawgrass, Hoge rose to #24 in the Official World Golf Rankings, and #1 in our hearts.
