Episode 7: New Head Pro Brandon Mohl

Whether you've played in front of him (booming drives rolling respectfully up behind you), behind him (more on that later) or alongside him enjoying his tunes, Jeff Steingraber is a Rainier presence. Take a pleasant stroll down the center of the fairway with the man known simply as Ginger as we learn more about his journey to our wonderful golf club. 

Growing up in Tacoma Jamieson Pitre used to help out the family restaurant any way she could, including baking pies. Tune in to the newest Summit episode to find out what she is cooking up for Rainier Golf and Country Club now that she is our new General Manager.  Tasty things are in store!   

Head Greenskeeper Richard Cassens walks us through his "offseason break", the challenges of keeping the course thriving during the cold wet winter months and the updates he and his crew have made to ensure Rainier continues to shine during the summer months to come. 

From eating big sundaes to winning big ON Sundays, Dan Kully has seen it all. Listen in as he takes us on his journey across the country and ultimately to our boardroom here at Rainier GCC.  Oh, and tighten up your chinstrap and get ready for action, he's pumped and this year is going to be a heck of a ride. 

Jim McLean has grown to become one of the most renowed golf instructors in the world. With seven Jim McLean Golf School campuses around the world he strives to lower the scores of novices and tour pros alike. But having grown up just across the street from the 10th green it all started back at Rainier Golf and Country Club, where his first practice strokes were into the side netting of the range as he picked up range balls. Hear his amazing story today on The Summit. 

From Newcastle, to his new castle, hear Brandon Mohl's journey from shop assistant to Head Pro and how "helping" his mom in the garden got him started down this path. 

Beautiful green hills, majestic cliffs and the charming town of Killarney were the setting for our Ireland golf trip and my interview with Brendan Keogh of SWING golf Ireland who helped organize our tour. Enjoy his stories and also some of the pub sounds of Killarney as I try to share some of our Rainier golf group experiences. 

Our bags are packed, our clubs are cleaned and we have big aspirations for low scores on the Emerald Isle. Listen in as Roger O'Sullivan walks us through his childhood and prepares us on how NOT to act too much like a tourist in his home town of Killarney. 

From the days of Rainier 6-hole youth competitions to present day D1 college golf, Kennedy Knox describes the ups and downs of her quest for improvement and ultimate success. And she obliterates a golf ball for us along the way. 

If you already know which green gives Richard and his crew the most trouble, if you know what a 'collar dam' is, if you know the difference between 'frost' vs 'frozen', then don't listen! Otherwise, hit play.
