In August 2024, I’m getting the opportunity to play golf at the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland. My goal is to drop my handicap 15 strokes so I can try to break 85 when I’m there (that’s the hard goal, but it’s really about The Journey). I’ve been a casual golfer off and on for years and love the game. However, I took several years off to start a couple of businesses, including a brewery in GA. I’ve always been a high handicap golfer, so this year is also about just improving my game in general. It wasn’t until the summer of 2023 that I broke 100 for the first time ever. So this podcast is about my journey to learn more, play more, & hopefully improve my handicap to reach my St. Andrews goal. I don’t know exactly where this will go but expect a lot about golf and maybe a bit about business & life. Because golf is a lot like both… you can always improve, you can take risks, and it always helps to get some lucky breaks! Beyond excited to play where Bobby Jones won the Open Championship nearly 100 years ago and to share The Journey with y’all.
Hey, y'all. I'm Elliot Hall, and welcome to another episode of The Journey to St. Andrews. This episode marks a significant milestone as I record on the day we're flying out to St. Andrews. It's been over a year in the making, and this is our 26th episode. Despite some gaps, I'm proud of the progress we've made, averaging overall about two episodes a month.
Reflecting on my golf journey, my initial goal was to shoot an 85 in St. An...
Hey y'all, I'm Elliot Hall, and welcome to another episode of the Journey to St. Andrews. It's been a while, so I'm just going to dive right in. I believe the last time I did a recording was mid-June, early June, and we are now into mid-August, and we are less than a week away from going to St. Andrews to play a bunch of rounds of golf and, of course, the old course. So very excited to share that experience with y'all when I get ba...

Hey y'all, I'm Elliot Hall, and welcome to another episode of The Journey to St. Andrews.

Despite limited playtime, I've been immers...

Hey y'all, I'm Elliott Hall, and welcome back to "The Journey to St. Andrews." I'm just easing back into things after that fun golf trip to Southern Utah.
I’ve been hitting the links at Steel Canyon and Bobby Jones here in North Atlanta. Steel Canyon is a real test of accuracy, and a decent course to get out and just practice regularly (and shot my lowest round there last week). In other areas though I didn’t nail the scores at Bob...

Hey y'all, it's Elliott Hall with another episode off "The Journey to St. Andrews."

In this episode, we are talking about chipping and putting and also playing a quick 9 at Bobby Jones Golf Course with some Co-workers. Also, I try out the new car set up for recording an episode. The audio is not as good as when I record at home because I have to remove so much background road noise in editing. However, it is better than I expected and I'll keep improving the quality of the audio moving forward. Thanks for your pat...
This is the final part of a three-episode series I'm calling the "Catch-Up Episodes". The past few months of my life got pretty crazy and busy so I didn't have time to stick to the normal structure of an episode every week or two. To get back on track, I decided to recap all the major things going on with my game, playing courses, and a bit of business. This turned into one very long recording session, so I decided to edit it down ...
