The podcast network for serious golfers. TalkinGolf launched as an online audio show way back before podcasts (or even the iPhone) were a thing. We've been on an extended break since 2012 but now we're back and creating new and interesting content each week as well as a sprinkling of some of the best stuff from the archives.

    Simply the Best
    If you love and appreciate golf history, this podcast will become an instant favorite. Truly incredible storytelling with in-depth research and knowledge by both Connor T Lewis and his expert guests. Their love for the game and it’s rich history will bleed into your soul. A remarkable gift to the world of golf.

    Rise and Demise Series
    For any history buff, these are awesome. For golf history buffs, these are even more compelling. It is great to listen to these, and then look at the company’s product across my office (staring at an old Hogan iron at this moment). Keep up the great work on all of the podcasts.

    Strong Content…
    But as with most podcasts the hosts talk for too much, stack multiple questions, interrupt, use over the top hyperbole. They need to ask questions and then shut up! They are the interviewers not the interviewees.

    Top 5 Favorite Podcasts
    Great golf history. Never miss an episode.
  • SpicyMac
    Absolutely love this podcast!
    Absolutely love each episode - can honestly say there’s not one I don’t enjoy. I really liked the Golf Historian’s Guide to St Andrews (I’m heading to Scotland for 14 days in October and will be hitting each of the mentioned locations in this episode!). I also really enjoyed The Champion Who Lost His Mind - what a heartbreaking story. Heck, even the very first episode with Rod is great! As you inch closer to 100 episodes, I personally hope you continue on for another 100 episodes!
  • Fozcycle
    History is terrific
    As an avid golfer for over 60 years, I am intrigued by the history, especially the equipment side. John Barba is an excellent historian. Might I suggest an episode regarding PowerBilt? They were big in the 40’s and 50’s that tried to mount a comeback in the 2000’s. I think this would be an excellent add to your history series. Thanks again.
  • Eric Ats
    Keeping the history alive
    Always a great listen. So many great rare facts and stories that could easily be lost without this show. Also, such a cool way to keep it alive by bringing into podcast form. Love it!
  • Mark C77035
    Always something new in golf history
    Connor Lewis brings interesting stories and people to the podcast, revealing so much more than the standard fare found in traditional golf magazines. Each podcast is well researched and well done!
  • Bodestiny
    Great except for the SJW nonsense
    I love this show. I would be perfect but for the SJW nonsense the show sometimes feels compelled to include. I have to turn it off when that happens. Case in point the rise and fall of golf in America podcast. You know what I’m saying.
  • Nashville Tom
    Brilliant!
    Love this podcast. Love this episode as much as any. A brilliant interview of a brilliant person about a brilliant game!
  • Thomas T.M.
    I love this podcast
    This is one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to! I have listened to every episode at least twice and I anxiously await every new show. The guests, the stories the history are just so unbelievable - but even more so this show makes history fun! Thomas

    Love it
    Great podcast. Very informative and enjoyable
  • Ray Unsworth
    Best podcast of Golf history
    I’m a history major and have always loved history and at the age of 44 played golf for the first time and got hooked. I love this podcast and as soon as an episode appears I listen. My number 1 podcast.
  • Steve in Ohio
    Talkingolf History
    I listen to a lot of golf podcasts, but I always look for Connor’s first! Excellent content that holds my interest every time.
  • Horn607
    A must listen.
    If you enjoy golf and golf history, this is a must listen.
  • SchirmerT
    Required Listening for Any Golf Nerd
    Always great to see new episodes of this pod drop. Connor really embraces and lives the subject, which shows in every pod. Looking forward to what you have coming up next
  • Taso K.
    Perfect.
    Every sport has a background, but golfs historical roots are spectacular because it is one of class, respect, and honesty. The game as a whole is perfectly imperfect, and Conor does an amazing job of bringing the history to life. It honestly makes my day when I see a new episode is released
  • Big Cat Al
    Another Great Listen from Rod Morri
    This series is a wonderful compliment to the iSeekGolf and State of the Game podcasts. Rod does a great job with everything he’s involved with.
