On this episode, Ryan gets into a recap of his second season coaching high-school golf at his alma mater, Mount St. Joseph in Baltimore. It's not only a lookback on the season but also a little background into what brought him back into the MSJ community in the first place. Also, it's a bit of a PSA to encourage people to share their time, talent and joy with others.

I'm going to take The 19th Hole Golf Show in a slightly different direction -- one I've thought about for years. I hope you like this podcast with a more personal feel to it, sharing the people, places and things I'm fortunate enough to experience because of golf.
