  • EPISODE 121- STEVEN DURAND PGA COACH

    EPISODE 121- STEVEN DURAND PGA COACH
    Jan 14 2026
    We’re fired up to welcome Steven Durand to the podcast! Steven is a PGA Golf Coach and one of the most respected instructors in the game today. He was named Regional Coach of the Year in 2023–2024 and followed that up by earning 2025 Coach of the Year, a true testament to the impact he’s making both on and off the course. But Steven’s story goes way beyond golf. Before coaching, he was a professional dancer, even spending time as a backup dancer for Vanilla Ice. That background in movement, balance, and rhythm plays a huge role in how he teaches the golf swing today. Oh—and if that wasn’t enough, he’s also a pretty legit skateboarder, bringing a unique edge and creativity to everything he does. Tune in as we dive into Steven’s incredible journey, how dance and skating shaped his coaching philosophy, and what separates great instructors from the rest. 🔥 Big shoutout to our sponsors for making this episode possible:88 Links Golf 88Links Golf USE CODE "UPSTATE" AT CHECKOUT and Hudson Valley Indoor Golf — Make your tee time now at HOME | Hudson Valley Golf go support the brands that support the show!

  • EPISODE 120- GIPPER FINAU

    EPISODE 120- GIPPER FINAU
    Jan 7 2026
    This episode was a fun one as we sat down with Gipper Finau, brother of PGA Tour star Tony Finau, for a wide-ranging conversation that hits on golf, family, grit, and what’s next. Gipper shared some great stories from back in the day, including how walking down a path he probably shouldn’t have been on is actually what led to his introduction to the game of golf. We talked about the journey since then and how golf became a powerful force in his life. We also dove into the incredible work being done through the Gipper Finau Foundation, the impact it’s having, and what Gipper sees for the future. On top of that, Gipper teased future plans involving Pro Mastery Classes for content creators, aimed at helping others grow, build, and succeed in the golf content space. The guys also chopped it up about Lombardi Putters — why they’re so good, why they’re affordable, and why they’ve become a favorite. Gipper even shared some stories about time spent with Uncle Paulie down in New Orleans and how that relationship came together. Of course, we couldn’t have Gipper on without talking about Tony’s success on the PGA Tour, including the wild moment at Augusta when Tony made an ace during the Par 3 Contest, dislocated his ankle, popped it back into place, and then went out leading after Day One. Unreal. And don’t skip the spitfire questions at the end — including the big one: 👉 Who talks more smack… Tony or Gipper? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
