Description

Going OB is a golf podcast hosted by Craig, a very average amateur.
Consistently a mid to high handicapper but with a love of the game that has turned into an addiction.

Craig is joined by former Ladies European Tour pro, Danielle who is the real golfer on the podcast. Danielle brings some great stores from her golfing life and and is not short of contacts so interviews are bound to packed with great insights and banter.

Oliver is the youngster of the team who is looking to make his way on the golfers with a disability tour and we look forward to charting his success. He has promised us the first interview when he becomes world number one.

This podcast aims to shine a light on the lesser covered sides of the game by providing insight and interviews with amateur golfers, club pros, green keepers, small business owners and a whole lot more.

Every golfer has a story to tell and this is the platform to do it.
