What Do You Order from the #GolfChat Bar?
Bloody Mary’s or Martini’s unless it is really hot out then it is Yuengling.
How Did You Get Into Golf?
As a kid I was always with my Father. He started me playing a few holes when I was 4, then give me a dollar and I would run back to the clubhouse and get a soda. By the age of 8 all I wanted to do was play golf.
My father turned 89 this August, he plays everyday unless there is snow on the ground or it isn’t raining. Shoots below his age every round, though from the senior tees.
What Are You Doing in Golf and Why?
This year I started Todd Marsh Fitness and earned my TPI fitness certification. I train local golfers and want to take golf performance training to the internet by offering an e-course. There are some excellent golf fitness professionals offering services on the internet, but I think they are either to technical or to generic. I want to produce a program that is simple to understand, can be adapted to each person’s limitations, and updated frequently unlike programs that are bought on DVDs. I want to help people improve their mobility, not only for golf, but for everyday life.
Favorite #GolfChat Topics?
Oh there are so many…slow play, the media wanting new rivalries every other week, footgolf, 12-hole courses to name a few.
Favorite Golf Quote?
I have three. “Hit the shot you know you can hit, not the one you think you should.” Dr. Bob Rotella
“Golf is the closet game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots; but you have to play the ball where it lies” Bobby Jones
“Golf is not a game of good shots. It’s a game of bad shots” Ben Hogan
Favorite Golf Destination and Why?
I haven’t found that course yet, but I haven’t played too many of the great courses. I will play anywhere from manicured masterpieces to pastures. It is all about the people you are with and the shot making for me. Although if a course has more than 2 blind shots on it, I will never suggest going back.
How Do You View the State of the Game of Golf?
I’m not going to say it is in bad shape. Courses need to be more strict with speed of play. But that said, most people have no problem watching a football game. Today we started at 12:50 just before kick-off and our foursome played 18 and was in the bar in time to watch the last 2-minutes of that game.
We need more junior programs, that include some golf but also incorporate movement, fun fitness, etiquette, and respect into the program.
Who Are Your Favorite #GolfChatters and Why?
First I like everyone that participates in #GolfChat. Love to hear everyone’s view. Since you asked me who people should follow I would say these people for various reasons and in no particular order: @MarkKagaoan @JustinRayGC @citizencage @captdave69 @courtgolf @OracleRio @h2cgolf @texasgolfergirl @TwoInchesShort @NoLayingUp @AshleyKMayo @TheGolferBabe @JohnGrahamGolf @practicalgolf @DawnMannix @EllingYelling @Amanda_Balionis @TheGolfChick @Megangolfpro @RPFitnessLAB @Front9Back9
Favorite Golfers and Why?
I’m pretty loyal, I mean I am still a Bills & Mets fan, so I like Tiger. He has raised the level of competition at the pro level and no one will come close to his 26% win percentage or his beating the field’s average score for 89 consecutive rounds. I would like to see him play better, as well as be a better person. I like to watch DJ and Adam Scott’s swings. I will always root for Rickie Fowler, Steve Stricker, or Matt Kucher.
