PGA Hope - The Story of Mark Hitchcock
Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 407 - PGA Hope - The Story of Mark Hitchcock
Our special guest is Bay City, MI resident Mark Hitchcock. Mark served honorably in the US Army Reserve for 10 years with the 980th Quartermaster Company.
Mark progressed to the rank of Sergeant and took on several additional duties within his unit, most prominently serving as his unit’s Duty Appointed Retention NCO while also bearing responsibility for his squad and duties of his MOS as a Petroleum Supply Specialist. During his service, SGT Hitchcock earned the Army Commendation Medal, 3 Army Achievement Medals, 3 Army Reserve Components Achievement Medals, National Defense Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, 2 Armed Forces Reserve Medals w/ M Device, Army Service Ribbon, Driver & Mechanic Badge / Driver-W, as well as several Certificates of Achievement. For service in Iraq, his unit was also awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation for exceptional service during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Mark learned about PGA HOPE from one of his volunteers while serving as an Event Manager for the Alzheimer’s Association who was aware of his prior service and love for golf. During the program, Mark, who never took a formal lesson prior to this program, not only learned some critical skills that have improved his golf game, but also helped him connect with many fellow Veterans and provide a sense of focus and purpose he didn’t realize was missing in his life since leaving the service, using the game of golf as the catalyst.

A Conversation with Nick Watney & Bob Estes
Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 405 - A Conversation with Nick Watney & Bob Estes
During the "Shootout at Horseshoe Bay Resort" we had the chance to sit down with 2 veterans of the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions to learn how they approach the decades long pursuit of perfection, performance, and excellence. Both Bob Estes and Nick Watney have enjoyed tremendous sustained success at the highest levels of the game and their insights will help golfers of every level get better at the game.
BOB ESTES
Having enjoyed uncommon longevity and playing success on the PGA Tour since turning pro in 1988, the former University of Texas All-American Estes made the cut in 446 of the 656 events he played on the PGA Tour. Estes won four PGA Tour events (with 10 career runner-up finishes) and amassed more than $21 million in career earnings. He has played in more than 100 events on the PGA Tour Champions with 10 top-five finishes and nearly $3 million in earnings.
NICK WATNEY
Northern California native and Fresno State University walk-on turned three-time All-American, Nick Watney has won five times on the PGA Tour and has ranked as high as ninth in the Official World Golf Rankings. His first PGA Tour win was at the 2007 Zurich Classic and his most recent came in 2012, at The Barclays. In 2010, Watney recorded top-10 finishes in both The Masters and the U.S. Open and he represented the United States at the 2011 Presidents Cup.

Alan Shipnuck - LIV And Let Die
Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 403 - Alan Shipnuck - LIV And Let Die
We welcome in best-selling author Alan Shipnuck to talk about the investigative work he invested into the writing of LIV and Let Die: The Inside Story of the War Between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf
No journalist on the planet has taken a deeper dive into the origins, personalities, controversies, bizarre twists and turns, and soap opera dramatic moments in the formulation and fight for survival that accompanies LIV Golf and the PGA Tour's attempts to thwart mass defection.
If you like "behind the scenes" stories, the latest from Shipnuck delivers big time.
Alan Shipnuck, the New York Times bestselling author of Phil, returns with a major new work of insider reporting on the battle for the soul of professional golf between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-funded LIV Golf League.
Over the past two years, professional golf has been at war, and Alan Shipnuck has been our most trusted correspondent on the front lines. Following closely on the heels of his bestselling sensation Phil, Shipnuck turns to the conflict that made Mickelson, and many other top golfers, villainous in the eyes of the public: LIV Golf’s controversial—and belligerent—storming of the professional golf world. (LIV’s unofficial motto, immortalized on hats gifted at a staff party: “F--k ’Em All.”)
In LIV and Let Die, Shipnuck delivers the inside story in real time, with fly-on-the-wall reporting from the yachts where LIV was hatched and within the corridors of power as the PGA Tour flailed to fend off the threat. Shipnuck has traveled seamlessly between both tours—having countless conversations with players, caddies, CEOs, agents, financiers, lawyers, flaks, fans, and Instagramming wives—to deliver a no-holds-barred account of the most chaotic moment in golf history. Anyone who has a stake in professional golf lined up for an interview with Shipnuck—because they knew everyone else was talking to him, too. The disruption to an old, proud sport was largely conducted in the shadows, but LIV and Let Die delivers numerous revelations about what really happened, and why.
Shipnuck’s unparalleled access and award-winning reporting chops provide rich portraits of the brand names at the center of this sprawling tableau: Greg Norman, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Jay Monahan, His Excellency Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Donald Trump, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Dustin (and Paulina!) Johnson, Pat (and Ashley!) Perez, Patrick (and Justine!) Reed, Bryson DeChambeau, Jimmy Dunne, and many more.
Bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, LIV Golf has upended the men’s professional game with vast riches—blatant “sportswashing,” from the mouth of Mickelson himself. Says Brandel Chamblee, “I think the LIV players are in a morally indefensible position, with a willful blindness to the consequences of their action, making them complicit to the ongoing atrocities.” Rory McIlroy said of playing a tournament alongside LIV golfers, “It’s going to be hard for me to stomach.” But the battle to thwart LIV revealed a deeper struggle within the game. “The Seminole guys, the Augusta National guys, they’re used to having all the power in the golf world,” says LIV’s Peter Uihlein. “They don’t like to be challenged. They’re not used to it.”
The bitter feuding (and trolling) between the PGA loyalists and the LIV camp made the battle between the tours deeply personal—but for the top leaders of the two tours it was strictly business, and in a series of secret meetings they reshaped the future of the sport. LIV and Let Die provides the previously unknown background and crucial context to understand the armistice between the tours that shocked the world in June 2023.
Long known as the most fearless writer on the golf beat, Shipnuck has delivered another hotly anticipated book packed with juicy nuggets and in-the-room-where-it-happened action...think Bob Woodward moonlighting on the sports desk. LIV and Let Die is the definitive account of the biggest (non-Tiger) golf story this century and a lively page-turner that in places reads like a spy thriller.

The Powerful Story of Mark The Caddie
Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 402 - The Powerful Story of Mark The Caddie.
Our special guest is Mark Milatz, author of "Caddie Tales, a Looper's Search for Lost Golf Balls," the personal story of a Pastor turned caddie and the intense, poignant, soul-baring journey that led to that career change.
Mark shares his struggles with anxiety and depression, which led to bad choices and his eventual departure from his church. Readers of the book will (hopefully) see parallels in their own lives and find inspiration in his journey.
The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by men in their roles, particularly in fatherhood and ministry.
You've heard many times about the ways golf reflects real life and this conversation brings that concept full circle as you meet Mark Milatz.

NATIONAL CHAMPION: Midland’s Kimberly Dinh Wins U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur
ELVERSON, Pa. – Midland’s Kimberly Dinh rallied from a 3-down deficit by winning six of the final seven holes to claim the 36th U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship Thursday.
The 31-year-old associate research scientist at DOW Chemical and GAM Women’s Player of the Year the last two years, beat Kelsey Chugg of Salt Lake City, Utah, the 2017 champion, 2-up in the title match on the North Course at Stonewall.
"In college, I never really played in any USGA events, mostly because by the time the summer came around, I was burned out and I didn't want to travel,” she said. “So having an opportunity to compete in a USGA championship after grad school, after college, has been awesome, and to win it, just incredible.”
Dinh, who trailed in the match from the fifth hole through the 13th, tied the match by winning 12 and 13 with pars and 14 with a birdie. She lost hole 15 with a bogey, then won 16 with a bogey to tie the match again when Chugg made double-bogey.
Dinh then took the lead for the first time at 17 with a conceded birdie-2 on the par 3, and then birdied the final hole with a nine-foot putt to secure the 2-up victory.
“To lose a couple holes pretty quickly was a little bit frustrating, but I just kind of dug deep and never really panicked,” said Dinh. “Kelsey was playing great golf, but both of us were going to make mistakes at some point, so I just kind of had to weather that and keep playing. I said to myself, ‘I’ll keep putting one good swing on the ball after another and see where it takes me.’”
Dinh, who hired Stonewall caddie Mark Dalton for the week, was the 16 seed, and Chugg the 14 seed after stroke play qualifying. Chugg, 32 and a five-time Utah Women’s State Amateur champion, was in the final match of the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur for the third time, and Dinh for the first time in three appearances at the championship. Dinh had reached the round of 16 and the quarterfinals in her first two trips to the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur.
A former University of Wisconsin golfer, the 2021 Michigan Women’s Amateur champion and a two-time GAM Women's Mid-Amateur champion, Dinh said she has learned from her previous golf experiences how to handle being behind.
“I have learned something every time I’ve gotten to match play, just every time I've played it, I’ve gotten more comfortable with it,” she said. “I’ve learned that even if you get down to not panic. I’ve been in pressure situations and have gotten used to it. I used to struggle with it, but this year I’ve played with the attitude that I need to enjoy every moment. Like I said, keep hitting the ball and see where it takes me.”
Dinh’s emotions bubbled to the surface when she was asked about her family and friends in the gallery, including an aunt who had departed for Indianapolis only to turn around and return as her niece advanced through to the final match.
“I really enjoy them being out following me,” she said. “They have been supportive of me through my entire golf journey.”
For the victory Dinh received the traditional USGA gold medal, custody of the Mildred Gardineer Prunaret Trophy for the next year, exemptions into the next 10 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championships, exemptions into the 2024 and 2025 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championships and an exemption into the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open Championship. Dinh said Wednesday that the U.S. Women’s Open was a bucket list item she hoped to cross off one day.
“I’m super excited but I don’t think all of this will sink in until I’m home,” she said.
As for heading home, she said work beckons because she takes vacation days for her golf competitions.
“I have a presentation I have to give tomorrow so I have to at least dial in for that, and then we'll figure out what the rest of the day looks like,” she said and laughed.
Dinh is the first GAM member golfer to win the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur, the third GAM member to win a national USGA title in the last three years and the sixth to win a USGA national championship in the last 21 years.
Kim Moore of Portage won the inaugural U.S. Adaptive Open last summer, and James Piot of Canton became Michigan’s first U.S. Amateur Champion in 2021. In 2002 Greg Reynolds of Grand Blanc won the U.S. Senior Amateur, Randy Lewis of Alma won the 2012 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship and Tom Werkmeister of Hudsonville was co-medalist as Team Michigan won the USGA State Team Championship in 2016.

The PGA Tour's Playoff Problem
Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network Podcast Ep 360 - The PGA Tour's Playoff Problem
There is NO reason it should take 15 minutes for a playoff to begin on the PGA Tour, but that was once again the case at the conclusion of the final Honda Classic as Chris Kirk and Eric Cole battled against each other and the setting sun.
This is a problem with an easy solution, so why is the Tour stuck in the path that loses audience, always battles daylight, and can be so easily fixed?
We'll discuss it with PGA Tour Champions player Tom Gillis and implore YOU to help make the case that it's time for change in the way the Tour handles playoffs.

Big Cedar Lodge Road Trip - Ranking Each Course
Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network Podcast Ep 341 - a special road trip edition as we return from a marvelous 4 days at Big Cedar Lodge near Branson. Joined by a group of 20 golf diehards, we played Top of the Rock, Payne's Valley, Buffalo Ridge, Ozarks National, and two of the group added in Mountain Top.
Along with the golf, our group enjoyed all Big Cedar has to offer and as everyone headed back home, we recorded car-to-car conversations that include personal rankings of the Big Cedar courses.
While everyone's lists were a bit different, the entire group agreed that Big Cedar more than delivered on the promise of stunning golf, wonderful hospitality, and the kind of welcome and service we wish existed everywhere. Well done, Big Cedar!
