Pidge!This gentleman is genuinely one of my favourite people I’ve met on this crazy golf journey so far, and I’ve had the pleasure of playing alongside him during Kieran’s 2v2 series.Pidge… revenge is coming, sir! We sat down for over an hour and did what two blokes do best… talked absolute rubbish about golf! There was no real plan, no strict agenda and no direction. Just a couple of guys having a proper chat, and honestly, I loved every minute of it. How Pidge first got into golf Where Brothers of the Fade began and where he sees it going What’s in the bag? All about his home course which I’m now desperate to play! Plenty of general golf chat and questionable nonsense!A massive thank you to Pidge for taking the time to sit down with me. It was an absolute pleasure, and I can’t wait for the next round togetherOf course, I’ll need to get Cutter on the podcast at some point to complete the set… but I think I’ll wait until Kieran and I take the lads on at their home course! Make sure you give Brothers of the Fade a follow on their socials. If you haven’t checked them out yet, you’re missing out these lads will thoroughly entertain you! Like the video Drop a comment Subscribe to Chasing Pars Share it with a golfing mateThe mission is 500 subscribers, and every single one of you helps us get there!Stay safeStay humbleStay blessed#ChasingPars #BrothersOfTheFade #BOTF #GolfPodcast #Golf #GolfYouTube #GolfCommunity

 Episode 62 is here and what a brilliant conversation this was.Joining me this week is PGA Professional Millie May Tiller, and let me tell you, Millie has the kind of personality that can brighten anyone’s day. Her energy is infectious, and I came away from this podcast in such a good mood.Millie started golf at a very young age thanks to her parents, especially her mum, who played a huge role in introducing her to the game and supporting her journey.We don’t go too deeply into it, but losing her mum has undoubtedly had a huge impact on Millie’s life. Despite that, she continues to make her mum proud through everything she achieves, both on and off the golf course, including raising money for charity in her honour.While that experience affected her competitive side for a period, don’t let that fool you. Millie may be enjoying her golf more than ever, but she’ll still do everything she can to beat you on the course.We chat about: Competing from a young age Turning professional at just 18 What’s in the bag Her favourite golf courses she’s played — and yes, somehow she picked my home course in Scotland! Her partner Jack, who is also a PGA Professional (loser does the dishes for a week after their matches) Starting her own business and taking a gamble on herself Our shared love of JCB and how Kate, Millie and myself are apparently buying a tractor just to get an inviteAll this and plenty more.Make sure you give Millie and her partner Jack a follow if you're looking for lessons.For business enquiries, Millie’s email is below, and you’ll also find details of the golf course she’s affiliated with. Go and give them a follow, like and share and let them know I sent you.https://www.instagram.com/milliemaytillyerhttps://www.instagram.com/jackeatongolf_?igsh=MTVzNmE3cWJ4YnI5dA==https://www.instagram.com/[email protected] thanks as always to Shot Scope for supporting the podcast use code CHASINGPARS for 15% off  Like Share Subscribe Tell a golf mateStay safeStay humbleStay blessed #ChasingPars #GolfPodcast #PGAProfessional #WomenInGolf #TheBigGolfRace
