Established in 2009, The Golf Shop Radio Show takes listeners “From Tee to Green and Everywhere In Between,” entertaining the hardcore golfer, the weekend hacker and anyone who is a fan of spirited talk-radio.
If it is being discussed out on the course or in the golf shop, hosts Mark “Greeny” Greenhalgh and Matt Blanchard will cover it – golf story or not – and listeners love their varying approaches to topics and interviews.
For example, here is what each asked a Champions Tour Legend:
Greeny: “How big is the drop-off in club-head speed between players on the PGA Tour and players on the Champions Tour?”
Blanchard: “Is it true the PGA got rid of drug testing on the Champions Tour because all they ever found was Grey Goose and Cialis?”
