In one of my favorite interviews of all time, I bring on Nick Price: 3-time major winner, World Golf Hall of Fame Member, 18-time winner on the PGA Tour, and one of the most personable athletes in the game. We had the chance to talk on a lot of different things, from the progression of his career as a golfer who had the opportunity to not only meet his golf idols but beat them in the majors, to what advice he would give to junior golfers and his thoughts on the modern game.

Based out of St. Louis, Andy is the current, and 11-time Club Champion at Bellerive Country Club, the site for the 100th PGA Championship in just a couple of weeks.  So, who better to bring on than Andy?

Have you ever found yourself rushing to the course for an early morning tee time and forgot to eat breakfast? Or in the middle of a round of golf noticed you were running a little low on energy and knew you needed to eat something? It’s happened to all of us, but in that situation, what are your typical options?

[smart_track_player url="http://traffic.libsyn.com/18strong/198_198__From_Quitting_to_US_Open_Qualifying_with_Chris_Naegel___Professional_Golfer.mp3" title="198: From Quitting to US Open Qualifying" artist="18STRONG: Chris Naegel" background="default" social_linkedin="true" social_pinterest="true" social_email="true" ] This week, we’re going to tell you a bit of a story about Chris Naegel, a golfer from here in St. Louis that went from almost quitting playing professional golf, to 3 weeks later playing in the U.S. Open. You might recognize his name from the top of the leaderboard on the first day of the U.S. Open, but just week’s prior he was on the phone with his wife after a tournament where he missed the cut and decided he was quitting golf for good.

[smart_track_player url="http://traffic.libsyn.com/18strong/197_197__The_Secret_Links_of_an_Efficient_Golf_Swing___Tom_Myers___Anatomy_Trains.mp3" title="197: The Secret Links to an Efficient Golf Swing" artist="18STRONG: Tom Myers" background="default" social_linkedin="true" social_pinterest="true" social_email="true" ] This week we’ve got a bit of a legend on the show: Tom Myers. Manual therapist, body worker, and author of Anatomy Trains, one of the most popular and pioneering books when it comes to making sense of all the connections, patterns and the way that your body actually moves (specifically in regards to the muscles, tendons, and fascia in your body). I know many of you may be sitting there trying to make heads or tails of the last word: fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue that runs throughout our body that impacts every move you make. It’s become kind of a buzzword lately, and Tom has been teaching and learning about fascia for decades now and we are just starting to see how groundbreaking his early work was and the research he continues to reveal.

As much as I would like to say there was one training program that would work for everyone in achieving their strength and conditioning goals, everyone has their own specific needs and issues, which is why Joe Gambino, a physical therapist, and strength and conditioning coach, is such a valuable asset to any golfer.

[smart_track_player url="http://traffic.libsyn.com/18strong/195_195__Raw_Fitness_Truth_with_Justin_Andrews_from_Mind_Pump.mp3" title="195: Raw Fitness Truth" artist="18STRONG: Justin Andrews | Mind Pump" background="default" social_linkedin="true" social_pinterest="true" social_email="true" ] The Mind Pump Podcast has been described as “Howard Stern meets Fitness” a reputation that stems from being raw, shocking, and entertaining, but with an overall mission to shed light on the truth of health, fitness, and a host of other topics.  Our guest this week is Justin Andrews, one of the hosts and founders of the this brand that is taking the fitness world by storm. Mind Pump Media has built a massive tribe of loyal and passionate fans because they are simply helping us all cut through the BS and experience the absolute fastest way to reach your health and fitness goals (which sounds a lot like what we are all about here at 18Strong!) We talk origin story to athletic programming in this exclusive interview.

[smart_track_player url="http://traffic.libsyn.com/18strong/194_194__Golfs_Most_Incredible_Destination_with_Steve_Friedlander_from_Big_Cedar_Golf.mp3" title="194: Golf's Most Incredible Destination" artist="18STRONG: Steve Friedlander | Big Cedar Golf" background="default" social_linkedin="true" social_pinterest="true" social_email="true" ] Today we are chatting with Steve Friedlander from Big Cedar Golf, which very well could be the next most sought-after golf destination in the US, if not the world. Recently I had my 40th birthday and took a golf trip with 3 of my best friends to Big Cedar Golf in Branson, Missouri. And I know what you’re probably thinking, “A golf trip in Missouri? That doesn't sound very exciting!”  Well, things are changing quickly in Branson, and after this episode, you just might change your mind about taking a golf trip to the Midwest.

[smart_track_player url="http://traffic.libsyn.com/18strong/193_193__Daisy-May_Kenny___Less_Pain_Better_Footwork_and_More_Speed.mp3" title="193: Less Pain, Better Footwork, and More Speed" artist="18STRONG: Daisy-May Kenny" background="default" social_linkedin="true" social_pinterest="true" social_email="true" ] If you’re a golfer that has ever experience pain after playing or practicing, especially back pain, my guess would be that you either sought out some form of relief or would love to find it. And if that solution also helped you improved the way you move in the golf swing and helped you swing faster, you probably wouldn’t be too disappointed with that, would you?  Well, our guest Daisy-May Kenny from Biomek Golf says all of these things often go hand in hand.

Not only has Josh been working with golfers for many years as a clinician, he was one of the first guys I know that had a podcast in the golf world. And although The Dr. Josh Show has been long retired, it definitely played a part in inspiring what we do here at 18STRONG.
