In this episode Lester and I have been having a good old fashion catch up about life as a YouTuber, the Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald and new dates for the Locker Room Golf Tour.

Welcome to a Sunday Morning Show podcast where Lester and I (Dan Hendriksen) have a good catch up about all things golf. In this episode we will be looking at golf club review videos and seeing which Club has been overlooked by the golf industry over the years.

Sir Ian Botham is a well known Sports Personality, having played Cricket to the highest level and captaining England on a number of occasions. Sir Ian shares a few stories around his golfing experience from the balcony over looking the 18th Hole at the Old Course at St Andrews during the 2nd round of the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

This Podcast would not have been possible without the help of Ethica Sports Gel of which both Ian and I have used to help with getting us both back on the golf course.

Sit back and enjoy.

In this podcast we catch up with PGA Member James Ruth who shares his story with how he got his European Tour Card.

Locker Room Golf Podcast — Episode 17

Featuring Chris Gill, PGA Professional & Incoming Academy Director, Thailand

In this episode, Dan sits down with Chris Gill — PGA professional, Asian Tour player, and former Head Professional at Newquay Golf Club — for a brilliant conversation about one of the most exciting chapters we’ve covered on the podcast so far.

Chris is packing up and heading to Thailand to take on the role of Academy Director, coaching the next generation of young golfers in what promises to be a life-changing move for him and his family. It’s a bold decision, and one that speaks volumes about the opportunities that open up when you commit to a life in professional golf.

We explore the full arc of Chris’ journey — the highs and the harder moments of life as a head professional, what it takes to compete on the Asian Tour, and how being a PGA professional can open doors you might never have expected. It’s an honest, inspiring conversation about backing yourself and embracing what comes next.

Chris is a genuine fan favourite, and he’ll be sorely missed on home soil — but what an adventure awaits. We wish him and his family all the very best for this incredible new chapter.

Featuring Nathan Gilpin, General Manager, Perranporth Golf Club

In this episode, Dan sits down with Nathan Gilpin, General Manager of Perranporth Golf Club on the stunning North Cornwall coast, for a conversation that covers everything from his first steps in the game to running one of the most talked-about clubs in the South West.

Nathan’s story is a brilliant one — from picking up the game and developing into a solid amateur player, through his PGA training, a fascinating stint as a rules official with England Golf, and ultimately into the golf management world. It’s a career path that’s taken some interesting turns, and Nathan tells it brilliantly.

We also dig into the real hot topic of South West golf right now — Perranporth Golf Club itself. The club has been climbing the rankings at pace and is increasingly being recognised as one of the finest courses in the UK. Nathan gives us the inside track on what’s driving that rise and what makes Perranporth such a special place to play.

If you haven’t played Perranporth yet, this episode might just push it to the top of your list.

Today's Podcast I (Dan Hendriksen) talk to you a little about what has been going on but also what 2026 looks like.

Sitting down with Zach Gould to talk about his journey from being on a path to becoming one of the worlds best golfers and playing golf with the likes of Rory Mcilroy, Danny Willett, Oliver Fisher and Tony Finau to walking away from the game of golf has been fascinating. Just goes to show how tough this game is and there will always be speed bumps along the way.

Enjoy this one.
