Campfire Conversation:
Eric and Ana have Drew Westphal, golf-fluencer and podcaster, join them to dive into golf in Wisconsin.
It begins with some golf history from St. Andrews in Scotland to the fact that Tiger Woods made his pro
debut in Milwaukee. The incredible courses across the state, many with national and international
acclaim, get covered from Sheboygan County to Stevens Point and on up to Sayner, home to the first
public 9-hole course in the state. Wisconsin’s courses play host to many major golf tournaments and
championships and we cover the history and future for those events. Drew discussed how many of
Wisconsin’s best courses are open to the public, which is not the case in many other states. Also
discussed is how golf has grown during and since the pandemic. He also discussed how the golf
experience doesn’t always have to encompass 9 or 18 holes, the length of the game is starting to
become more flexible. Drew offered more perspectives and tips on playing the sport – and how to get
better – including how resources like Top Golf and X-Golf can help regardless of weather. You can enjoy
Drew’s podcast, Group Golf Therapy, on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/group-
golf-therapy/id1576362560 or wherever you get your podcasts. It’s about mental health as much as golf.
And while we cover Golf Digest’s rankings of top Wisconsin courses, Drew also reveals some of his
favorite “hidden gem” courses around the state. Gran your clubs and get ready for golfing season by
enjoying this episode!
