What does golf teach us about winning elections?
In this episode of Golf & Politics, we play nine holes at Split Rail Golf Club outside Fort Worth with Drew Ryan, founder of Campaign Sidekick, to break down what actually wins campaigns: discipline, ground game, calculated risk, and authenticity.
As the Texas wind kicks up, Drew shares lessons from building Campaign Sidekick from scratch, working on high-profile races like Ron DeSantis (2018) and Brian Kemp, and why most candidates still misunderstand voter contact.
We cover:
- Why the ground game still decides elections
- The biggest mistakes candidates are making right now
- How Trump reshaped the GOP — and what comes next
- Entrepreneurship, faith, and taking smart risks
- Advice for young people who want a career in politics
Plus: clutch putts, tough lies, and a momentum-changing eagle.
If you care about campaign strategy, conservative politics, entrepreneurship, or golf, this episode is for you.
