Chasin' Birdies

We’re back this week on Chasin’ Birdies with a fresh one. Patty Maroon sits down with us as we dive into a wide variety of topics. Opening up the episode, after our 7-minute banter intro, we get into some golf talk out the gate, with Mr. Maroon sportin’ a nice Pine Valley cap. The conversation bleeds into the NHL world, and we hear some stories of his time in St. Louis, Tampa, and now Chicago. With his down-to-earth personality, it’s fun to hear stories about the Stanley Cup and his quest for a 4th cup in a row..wtf. Pelican Golf Club in Tampa is a spot we’re lucky to play. We tell some stories about times at Pelican and hear about the experience Patty had playing Augusta AND Pine Valley in the same year…the Brad Faxon story is epic. Bet that doesn’t happen too often. We turn over the episode to round out some more banter and small talk about pretty much anything. We touch on the rowdy fight in Scottsdale with Biz Nasty and what the hell that was all about. We end the episode with our standard tap-in segment, where we ask Patty 5 questions that demand his quick response. Tune in, share, like, or dislike.

After a 7-minute opening from Pepe and Bash, the episode opens up with a memory rehash of a time at Oakmont CC. Charles lends his thoughts on playing at Oakmont and we relive a night there two years ago with George Birge. We jump over to some Augusta talk, and ironically, it’s where Charles grew up. He gives us a glimpse into what growing up next to Augusta National was like, especially with the range balls. We switch it up a bit and get into the story of how Charles made it to Nashville. With the band in place, the story of Lady A takes shape, and the rest is history. He refers to this as ‘rare and random’. We chat about Lady A and the path the band has been on, ups and downs. He also hints at a potential ‘solo’ album he’s working on.We sprint ahead in this episode and get into some personal talks about his past and the roads he traveled.

Growing up in Pittsburgh it was always a dream to play for the home team, and going undrafted landed him a spot to prove his worth with the Steelers.

Speaking of golf, the guy can’t kick the habit. We hear how he was introduced to golf and why it was pretty painful at first. We get into the thick of things with discussions of his golf game now and where he wants to be next off-season. We end the episode with our standard tap-in segment presented by Bettinardi Golf, where we ask Christian four questions that demand his quick response.
