Episode 76: AJ MacVie - 4.3 Handicap

It is hard to find someone that loves exploring the world through golf more than AJ MacVie. AJ is the man behind the Waggle Golf Journal and he has endless cool experiences to share. We talked about some hidden gems sprinkled throughout New Hampshire, his favorite region of Scotland, and had an amazing overall conversation about why we both are so crazy about this game. If you want to learn more about AJ your can find his work by google The Waggle Golf Journal or finding him on Instagram.

After a long hiatus, we are finally back — and this is a good one. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jeff Stein, founder of Stein Golf Design. Jeff has had quite the journey in the golf world, taking him all over the world to New Zealand, Uruguay, and more wild and interesting places in pursuit of his dream of becoming a golf course architect. We touch on his journey in golf, but also discuss his design philosophy and specifically the work he did at Great Dunes, one of the most popular new courses of 2026.

This week on Golfers Anonymous, I'm joined by Alex Anthony, a Toronto-based golfer and content creator. We chat about Alex's golf journey, the booming golf scene in Toronto, and the friendships the game has built along the way. We also get into some of the incredible golf travel options across Canada — from Whistler to beyond — and why Canada might just be one of the most underrated golf destinations out there. Tune in to hear why Alex can't get enough of the game and where he's headed next on his Canadian golf bucket list.

This week we diverge from our typical interview format, and instead I brought on Sean Melia, aka @baystategolf, for a conversation about our ideal version of the golf world. We each came into the conversation with some genie-in-a-bottle type wishes for not only golf as a whole, but specifically golf here in Massachusetts. We cover things ranging from pace of play to pro golf and persimmon woods. This was a fun one!

Jeff is on a mission to play golf in all 50 states. He’s played over 300 courses so far, and we share a love for local nine-hole gems. Awesome episode — make sure you check out Munis and Monsters over on Instagram!

Erik Anders Lang is basically the godfather of modern golf content. When he launched Adventures in Golf, there really wasn’t anything like it, and honestly, that show is a big reason I’m sitting here today making golf content at all. This episode was a blast to record. We didn’t actually talk a ton of golf — it was more about life, creativity, and everything else in between — but I guess that’s kind of the point of golf anyway. All in all, this one was a lot of fun. Thanks for listening.

I sat down with Shane — better known as ShaneOhGolfs — to talk about how he found his way into the game and what golf has come to mean to him over the years. We get into the competitive side of golf, the unwritten rules and etiquette that make the sport special, and how the younger generation is changing the way golf looks and feels.

I started this show to better understand why we all love golf so much, and this episode with Lyle from Feel Golf does a great job of capturing that. We talk through what it really means to be a feel golfer, his quest to qualify for the Mid-Am, and how golf truly saved his life.

This week I jumped back on the mic with friend of the pod Ben Malach to chat about some courses at the top of our list for 2026.

It is no secret that I love nine hole golf courses. And this week I got the pleasure of sitting down with Josh Beer, President of Hooper Golf Course, one of the best nine hole golf courses in the world. We chat through the history of the club, what the President of a course like Hooper actually does, and what makes Hooper special.
