We’re fortunate this week to have a friend of the pod carve out some of his time and jump on the mics. Taylor Kinney is here on Chasin’ Birdies. This one has us excited purely because we always love the opportunity to hang with TK, whether on or off the golf course. We open up the episode with our standard ten-minute banter before we get into the interview.The interview opens up with us talking about the early days and TK attending WVU in Morgantown, WV. We get into his travels and how he went from living in Hawaii to landing modeling/acting gigs. After some more life talk, we discuss how he came to be ‘that’ guy on Chicago Fire. Spoiler alert - a fire in Chicago near the set had everyone scrambling, thinking the cast were actual firefighters. The story is told from TK’s perspective. We get into a lot of questions surrounding filming and how the show operates behind the scenes. After more bantering, we turn the talk over to golf. We get into his early days of golf and how the game clawed its way back into his life not too long ago. We discuss traveling to play golf and how, without golf, we’d have never connected. The point being - we’re golf addicts. If you’re a golf addict, you can relate. We finally turn the episode over to our tap-in segment, where TK is asked questions that demand his quick response…although some answers aren’t quick. Tune in, share, and hear from an overall great guy hangin’ with us two for a good hour or so.Key Links:Visit redvanly.com for great golf apparel now repped by Chasin’ Birdies. Stay tuned for more info on winning custom headcovers from WinstonCollection.comOur Tap-in segment is sponsored by Bettinardi GolfPartners with Nemacolin Resort. -----Follow Chasin’ Birdies on Instagram @chasin_birdies.Chasin’ Birdies is hosted by Ryan Bashour and Jonathan Pepe.

Our episode this week involves one of Nashville’s most sought-after songwriters, Ray Fulcher. We’ve gotten to know Ray well over the last few years, and it’s no secret that outside of work and hunting, he can’t kick the golf bug.Cool story alert - we get into the beginning when he decided to move to Nashville. It was within that first week or so that he met another guy, and they both started hanging out and writing together. Ray tells the story and reveals that the guy he met early on was Luke Combs. The journey for him started there, and he started creating his craft by writing songs that ended up being cut by some major artists. We hear about what it’s like working in the music business and how the song process starts to take shape. If you’re an avid listener of the show, this isn’t your first time hearing from a songwriter. We turn the talk over to some small banter and life talk. Naturally, we gravitate into golf and ‘pay day’ Ray lets us in on his love for golf. This episode was recorded at Old Hickory in Nashville, TN. Sitting around a table, having a few beers, this episode will keep your attention. We turn the episode over to our tap-in segment, where Ray is asked four questions that demand his quick response. Tune in, share, and enjoy. It’s not too often you get to hear from a guy like Ray.  Key Links:Visit redvanly.com for great golf apparel now repped by Chasin’ Birdies. Stay tuned for more info on winning custom headcovers from WinstonCollection.comOur Tap-in segment is sponsored by Bettinardi GolfPartners with Nemacolin Resort. -----Follow Chasin’ Birdies on Instagram @chasin_birdies.Chasin’ Birdies is hosted by Ryan Bashour and Jonathan Pepe.

This episode of Chasin’ Birdies is a special one. We were a part of the WVU Medicine Children’s Inaugural Golf Tournament at Nemacolin Resort and we hosted a live podcast for the guests of the event. Tyler Reeve joined us on this episode to share his story with us and tie in some golf talk. We cover a lot of topics in this episode, but hearing again how certain songs are created and the inspiration behind them never gets old. Tyler wrote Brett Young’s “In Case You Didn’t Know,” which has over a billion streams. A text message to Eric Church led to the collaboration with Luke Combs on the hit “Does to me”. These stories and more are intertwined throughout this interview.If he’s not sitting on the porch at Old Hickory in Nashville jammin’ with John Daly and friends (porch talk, as he calls it), Tyler can be found on the golf course chasin’ birdies and placing friendly wagers between the group.

We have a lot to catch up on. Since our last drop, a lot has happened in the golf world. Most importantly, the Ryder Cup just concluded, and it didn’t go our way. We recap the Ryder Cup and offer our two cents—not that it matters, but we do it anyway. What is the envelope rule, and why is it applied? The matches were a lot closer than anyone may have thought when it came down to the finishing holes on Sunday. Did this ½ point matter? We lend our thoughts and are curious how this will play out in the future. We cover some time we had with our friends at Playin’ Through over at Nemacolin. And lastly, the iconic Ashworth Brothers 2-man took place in Oregon at Pronghorn, where one of us finished in second. We recap all this good stuff in this fun-filled banter of an episode.

We get into some golf talk right out the gate and hear about the Member-Guest experience at Gozzer Ranch.

Here we are—the last major championship of the year, “The Open” championship as we know it. Today on Chasin’ Birdies, it’s the open mic drop as we get into golf talk, the final major of the year, and hear from a legend in Rocco Mediate as he drops by the show to share a few of his thoughts.We banter for the first few minutes in typical fashion.

We’re back this week with a fresh one, and Jake Stoutland delivers an outstanding guest appearance as he joins us to get into some golf talk and such. The episode begins after our ~10-minute opening with the two of us, and then we roll it into Jake.We open up the discussions with Jake giving us a look at his background. As an avid golfer, he wasn’t necessarily in the golf space until one day he realized he had a knack for knowing stories that pertained to golf. Because of this, his storytelling social media handle was born. The conversation explores various themes, including the importance of community in golf, storytelling, and unique experiences offered by elite clubs. We highlight the golf in the Northeast and Long Island area. It’s true that a golf experience at a club is more important than the score you shoot, agree? We hear a sick story about the creation of Sand Hills Golf Club in Nebraska that few may know. We turn the page and get into some Masters talk and what it was like seeing Rory win the Green Jacket.

Golf carts don’t really don’t cut it for Daniel. Too slow, and not enough torque. But, the man knows how to get it around the track on weekends. Daniel Dye is here this week to chop it up a bit about his early career in racing and his low-key love for golf.We get into some fast talk out the gate while hearing the story of his dad owning Roberto Clemente’s car that he drove to the airport before the plane crash. The car gets uncovered every 21st of the month, and it’s clear that cars and racing is in his DNA.He fills us in on life on the track and what a race means to him. We get a look inside the weekend and how the operations run when it's race time…like a 14-second four-tire change and refuel. We talk about road rage and what that means to him on a normal road. We turn the episode over to some golf talk and hear why he flies himself to Pinehurst on the reg.

We think people who aren’t into golf don’t necessarily understand the grueling nature of a Member-Guest tournament. To make the shoot out is one goal, but to win it all ties in luck and straight puke-driven guts. That’s what happened to Mr. Pepe and Mr. Katzeff in the recent Pelican Golf Club Member-Guest. We open up and give Pep a big congrats and hear the story from him.We revisit the recent Pine Needles Invitational that took place a few weeks ago with none of us making the cut..again. To twist it up a bit, we phone a friend and request Brandon Katzeff join in to tell his side of the story since he won the Member-Guest after 6 months of joining the club. What does that look like from a club perspective? We touch on the PGA Tour and the first ‘non’ major of the year kicking off this weekend: The Players. Who you got? We round out the episode with some more banter and fun talks. Tune in, share, listen, and chase spring (and golf) with us.
