I have been blessed in my life to have two very successful careers, one in acting and one in sports media. For many years I’ve been the host of an award-winning golf podcast on ESPNSportsRadio in Lexington, KY. Almost 8 years ago, Chris Mascaro asked me to be a guest on his podcast Next on the Tee. In both of my careers, I have been interviewed too many times to count. That podcast, and the many that have followed, convinced me Chris Mascaro is the best interviewer of all those appearances. There is no one that is more prepared, more engaging, or genuinely interested in his guests, than Chris. On every single podcast. It is absolutely an honor for me to join him anytime he asks.

WELCOME!
Thank you for visiting and checking out the Next on the Tee golf podcast. If you enjoy listening half as much as I enjoy doing it, then we'll really have something special.
Each week I talk with golf's greatest Legends, Players, & the Top Instructors in our game. You'll hear what's it's like playing in and winning major champions, dealing with the pressure coming down the stretch, the camaraderie among the players, and the joy of being out on Tour. You'll also get tips from the Top Instructors in our game to help you play better and have more fun out on the course.
My guests are always the stars of the show. We focus on the positive, laugh a lot, and share our love of the game. I challenge the notion that you have to be controversial or focused on Tiger Woods' private life in order to get people to listen.
​
Please also take a look at our friends and partners below. Their products and services can help you look good, play great, and enjoy the game more. Check out our Facebook page and let me know what you think of the show. If you have a question for one of my guests, add a comment or Tweet me @ctmascaro and I'll be glad to get it answered for you.
Thank you again for checking out the show. My goal is to be your favorite golf podcast. I hope you'll join me each week, have a listen and a smile, and make the show a part of your regular golf content...
