Season 2, Episode 2 – Out Here Chasing Pars ft. Carl aka @slanjepar

Episode 2 of 2026 is here, and I’m joined by Carl (@slanjepar) — someone I’ve been trying to get on the podcast for ages. Timing never quite lined up, but today he managed to park up in Perth and jump on a Zoom call with me. One day we’ll crack in-person recording properly

As always, we get into all things golf:

How Carl got into the game

My favourite topic — WITB — including his favourite club, which he’s convinced will never leave the bag

His special tour bag (you’ll want to hear why I think it’s so cool)

His very first course and his current home course

The famous par 3 where he started his channel — I genuinely can’t wait to visit

A few This or That questions to wrap things up

All this and plenty more on this week’s episode.

Big thanks to Carl for taking the time to join me, and as always, thank you at home for listening and supporting the show.

Stay blessed, stay humble — see you next week

For this special episode, I’m joined by Laura, one half of Rubbish Cricketers and Golfers, to talk a little golf — but more importantly, to help raise awareness of FND (Functional Neurological Disorder).
This conversation was as much about me learning as it was about sharing information. Huge thanks to Laura for patiently educating me and answering my questions — even the ones that felt silly to ask. I really hope this episode helps anyone who knows someone living with FND, or who may be dealing with it themselves.
I truly believe we can all be curious, ask questions, and learn — without being rude or intrusive. Hopefully I managed to do that here.
I’m looking forward to having Laura back on with Gary in the future to talk all about their channel and, of course, more golf. But for now, I hope this episode is as interesting and eye-opening for you as it was for me, and that it helps shine a light on the realities of this condition.
Thank you again to Laura for her openness and honesty — and thank you all for listening.

We’re back. Welcome to Season 2 of Out Here Chasing Pars — and what a way to kick things off.

For the first episode of the new series, I’m joined by Niall from Skratchr. Raised in Dublin, and now living near London, Niall shares his journey into golf — including saving up for his first set of clubs (I’ve forgiven him for the brand choice ).

We get into:

How he got into golf

WITB — and why he believes a putter fitting is absolutely vital

His home course… and yes, everyone has a nemesis hole

His passion for the game and the creation of Skratchr — go check it out at the links below and show him some support. If this takes off like I think it can, it could be massive for the golf community

Sign up here for waiting list:

There’s also plenty of general golf chat — and anyone who knows me knows I don’t shut up once I get going

Incredible to have Niall on the show, and I’m really looking forward to welcoming him back once his project is fully underway.

Thanks for sticking with us through the short break — weekly episodes are back and ready for your ears

Out Here Chasing Pars – Fitness Special ft. Gav Sorley (@gavsorleycoaching)

For this special episode, I’m joined by my friend and coach Gav Sorley, and this one goes a bit beyond golf — into fitness, mindset, and real-life change.

I wanted Gav on the show to talk about:

His journey from office job to fitness coach

His football background (goalkeeper… that still counts, right? )

Why he started, where the passion came from, and what drives him now

How much he invests in himself through education — funny how he loves learning now when school was a different story

We also get into:

The advantages of online coaching

Tips on what to look for if you’re starting your own fitness journey

Where people often go wrong — and how to avoid it

Gav’s own comedic golf story and whether he could ever see himself becoming a golfer

…and as always, we venture off down a few different avenues along the way

I don’t praise him enough, but Gav is the main reason I went from 136kg down to 83kg. I’m back working with him over winter now, getting ready for the next golf season — and I couldn’t recommend him more.

Give Gav a follow — he might just motivate you to start a journey of your own

More fantastic golf content coming very soon… thanks as always for listening and supporting the podcast

This week I’m joined by arron from Nothing to Zero, and we kick things off with a golf intro that’s a bit different to most.

We chat about:

How he first got into golf

Getting back into the game because of his son

How special it’s been spending so much time together on the course

What clubs he’s using and whether he’s fitted or not

His home club Westerwood — which sounds fun, challenging, and absolutely on my list to visit

Then we dive into arrons incredible new challenge since turning 50:

#50Fore50 — playing 50 different courses in a year

He’s currently 4/50, with one of them being the unreal Dundonald Links… on what was probably the windiest day in Scotland this year

If you can help arron on his journey and would like to invite him to your home course, reach out to him — it would mean a lot.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how his challenge unfolds.

Thanks again to Arron for joining me — and good luck, mate!

Despite the name, Peter is neither grumpy nor old — and this turned into a brilliant chat.

A lefty who started as a junior before drifting away (as so many do), Peter actually found himself playing high-level cricket and football for years. Golf only returned to his life just before Covid, becoming the perfect way to stay active with far fewer injuries.

We dive into:

His home club and what keeps him coming back

WITB — and yes, he’s definitely a one-brand fanboy

The putter he games… which just happens to be the one I want to try

How GOGGS started and where the society is heading

The future of their content and community

All this and plenty more — a great listen with one of the GOGGS lads.

Make sure you follow them at the links below… and tell them I sent you!
