Chasin' Birdies

Chasin’ Birdies is more than what you do on the golf course. We like to hear what people are doing off the course, too. Today’s episode features Bob Winskowicz, the founder of SQAIRZ golf shoes. You may have seen SQAIRZ endorsed by Sir Nick Faldo or worn by Sepp Straka on the PGA TOUR. Regardless, the story of how SQAIRZ was born is fascinating, and by wearing these shoes, you may just gain some extra yardage off the tee.Hey, y’all! Want more distance? Try a pair of SQAIRZ! We all want more distance off the tee, or in general, but have you ever equated greater distance to the type of shoes you wear? We haven’t either until we interviewed Bob Winskowicz, the founder of SQAIRZ.We open up the interview and ask Bob how he figured out shoes can equate to more distance? Bob explains the logic behind his findings after a random business meeting led him to the driving range in his squared-toe dress shoes. He noticed his balls were flying further. What he did next is chasin’ birdies on a new level..Bob explains the science behind his findings and how he successfully launched the shoe company, SQAIRZ. With a partnership in place with Sir Nick Faldo, SQAIRZ was in position to take off. We ask Bob how he goes about getting Tour players to wear his shoes. He simply finds up and coming players to wear and bets on them in a big way. Prime example is Sepp Straka, winner of the 2022 Honda Classic.We turn the table and ask Bob some personal questions like what he does in his spare time and what’s in store for the future of SQAIRZ. Hearing an innovative entrepreneur talk is always interesting. If nothing else, this interview is extremely interesting and could help you find a few extra yards!We end the episode with our standard tap-in segment where we ask Bob 4 questions that demand his quick witted response.

Other than your golf swing, the second most important aspect about golf is how you look. That’s no problem for Stephen Malbon, founder of Malbon Golf, a golf clothing/lifestyle company.

With trendy looks and unique partnerships, Malbon has positioned itself as one of the better known golf apparel companies in existence.

We ask Stephen some basic questions about his upbringing and how he got into the clothing industry. His love for golf started at a young age while growing up on a hog farm in Virginia Beach.We ask Stephen where his inspiration for his company has come from and how he used his past interests in art and sculpting to land himself a role as an Art Director at age 20. While he was learning a lot on the job, he launched a publication called Frank151 pre-internet which was a physical magazine that worked with thousands of artists. All of this bundled together helped him launch Malbon Golf.We turn the tables and ask how he stays on par with his ever evolving ideas. Using social media such as Instagram keeps the pressure on with respect to what he needs to do, what he should do, and how that turns into creating more work. He likens owning or starting a business to being madly in love with a person who others may say isn’t a ‘fit’ for you. After Stephen strikes a 4-iron down the center of the fairway, we continue talking about golf, business, and other activities that he enjoys. It’s apparent his relationship with his son, Remington.We end the show with our standard Tap-In Segment where we ask Stephen a few questions that demand his quick witted response.

He explains how the podcast has now turned into a full multimedia company and what they’re trying to achieve.Matt’s dream job was to be the play-by-play announcer for the San Diego Padres. A turn of events and a love for writing landed him an internship with Sports Illustrated which led to a full-time job as a junior photo editor.

A hometown hero in Pittsburgh, Neil Walker was ‘the Pittsburgh kid’. In 2015, he turned the first 4-5-4 triple play in Major League history. After Pittsburgh, Neil played for the Mets, Yankees, Brewers, Miami, and finally retired after a short stint in Philly.This episode was recorded at Nemacolin Resort in Farmington, PA. The Chasin’ Birdies boys played Neil and Eric in a two-man best ball format before recording this episode. We open up the talk with how he adjusted after just being drafted into the big leagues. He admits that it was a hard transition but eventually got easier.Neil bounced around from various positions until he finally realized he was best at 2nd base. One perk for Neil was being able to peg it up during Spring Training or while on the road. This is where his love for golf started to blossom.After more baseball talk coupled with life talk, we turn the tables and fire in our tap-in segment. Neil tells a story about Roberto Clemente that will leave chills all over your body.

Here at Chasin’ Birdies we tend to feel that we’re constantly pushing our brand to bring on guests from all walks of life. This week, we don’t have a hockey player, or an NHL referee, or even a country singer. Instead, Shep Rose, Bravo TV Star, joins us on this week’s episode to talk more than just golf.We open the episode up with us learning (and you, too) that Shep is off to Alaska for a fishing trip. Boozing and fishing in Alaska sounds like a dream, and for Shep, he’s living it. Close encounters with Grizzly Bears seems to be quite alright with Shep.We turn the page and talk golf. How he got involved in golf and what his golf schedule is like while balancing his jammed pack schedule. At 6’4, he had to go through a few swing changes to get his game back on track.We talk to Shep about his experience at the BMW Celebrity Golf Tournament that he played in with Max Homa..which he didn’t know who the hell that was. He rubs elbows with Aaron Rodgers and is still owed lasagna from Max for draining a putt.After some more golf talk / stories, we turn the page to our final segment of the show, the Tap-In Segment. We ask Shep a few questions that require his witty response.
