Podcast Description
The Craig Show is a web show about golf starring Craig Teiken, a scratch golfer and professional coach. Craig believes that the game of golf started out as a fun, casual way to gather, and that’s what it should be today. According to Craig, we need to get away from the obsessive emphasis on gear and technique and get back to the community roots of the game. Enjoy, and email us your ideas for a show: craig@612im.com
