Description
Golf, food and fun. Sounds like a great combination! Grilling at the Green hosted by Jeff Tracy
brings all of that and more for your listening pleasure.
Jeff’s love of golf prompted him to create Grilling at the Green several years back and the show has been going and growing strong ever since. Jeff started playing in middle school with wretched old clubs in the bottom pasture. (An errant tee ball to the noggin left a permanent impression on one of his childhood friends.) Jeffs got better clubs now, but still, be careful where you stand when he’s hitting off the tee!

manufacturers and club house icons make the guest list. Yes, we talk about golf but also cover travel, food fun and life.. Everyone on the show has a story.
Grilling at the Green is the home for interviews with Frank Nobilo, Dotty Pepper, Anika, Gay
Van Sickle, Kay Cockerill, Sarah Kemp, Lisa Cornwell, Keith Hirshland, Charlie Rymer. The list
goes on.
