209: "When Revelation Comes" by Jim Hartsell
Today's show is a conversation between Randy and Jim Hartsell about Jim's new book, "When Revelation Comes". The book is available now through Back9 Press and is Jim's second book. Besides his full-length writing, Jim writes at his website, jhartsellgolf.com, and contributes to a number of places, including The Golfer's Journal, Links Diary, and our own NLU website. "When Revelation Comes" is about a trip Jim took to Scotland in August of 2021 in the aftermath of losing his youngest son, Jordan, unexpectedly. It's a beautiful book that will touch on the full range of emotions, and stands both as a love letter to Scotland and Scottish golf, but also about what it means to love, lose, and try to carry on in the wake of an unimaginable tragedy.

30: Alan Shipnuck talks "Bud, Sweat, & Tees"
Randy is joined by author and golf journalist, Alan Shipnuck, to talk about the May book club selection, "Bud, Sweat, & Tees." It's been a little while since I've been able to do one of these author interviews and who better to break the absence with than Alan. If you have read the book, Alan offers a lot of interesting context around how the book came to be, fills in context around the characters and chats about what's changed on the golf beat in the twenty years since the book was published. For those who haven't read it, I hope this interview will spark an interest to go pick it up. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

29: Bill Fields on John McDermott, Two-Time US Open Champion
Randy is joined by golf author and photographer Bill Fields to discuss his piece on 2x US Open Champion, John McDermott. It's a fascinating story, tragic to be sure, which has been mostly lost to time (at least to most younger fans and non-historians of the game). If you don't know the story I encourage you to give it a listen, especially as you get ready to settle in this weekend and watch the US Open from Pebble Beach. Enjoy!
