As we creep closer to a full-on outdoor golf season in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, we're back with another episode full of regional golf talk, and plenty more.
We get started with some updates on the local golf facilities and opening dates, work into news on some golf events in our region, and even have some updates on local golfers and their recent tournament play.
Scott and Jeff then explore the current business enviroment for golf and surmise what 2022 may have in store.
It also happens to be Masters week (easy to tell from Scott's coat if you catch the podcast on YouTube) so we pick some favourites, ponder whether Tiger Woods will play, and have a look at the Canadians in the field for this year.
For our feature interview, Carol Ann Baxter is our guest. The owner of Archie's in Cornwall, Ontario and the Executive Director of the PGA of Canada - Ottawa Valley Zone talks about her history in golf, how she and her team are adapting their business each year, and shares details on what is in store for 2022 for the golf professionals of the region. She's always a delight to talk to and has a wide perspective on golf that you should find interesting.
In Product Watch we take a look at the newest direction in golf grips from Golf Pride and on the Lesson Tee with Kevin Haime he provides some backswing insight garnered from working with G.E.A.R.S. 3D Motion Capture.

It's the opening episode of the Flagstick Podcast where we lay out the groundwork for what is to come with this new show from Flagstick.com.
Co-Hosts Jeff Bauder and Scott MacLeod let you know who they are, what they bring to the show, and what listeners (and viewers) can expect from the weekly episodes.
In the Front Nine presented by Metcalfe Golf & Country Club we share insight into the new direction for the Flagstick brand as we start our 26th season of operations, discuss the prospects for golf courses openings in the Ottawa Valley in the near future, lay out some of the movements within the golf professionals of the area over the last few months, and update you on recent activity by Canadian players on the LPGA and PGA TOURS.
Our feature interview this week is with Greg Chambers of the National Golf Course Owners Association Canada. He joins us to discuss the recent virtual Canadian Golf Expo, how it went and where things might be headed for next year. We also dive into the business of golf at the club level in 2021 and explore all the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the golf course operators among their membership for 2022, and beyond.
In The Lesson Tee with the Kevin Haime Golf Centre, Kevin shows us how you can improve your swing using a basic frisbee that most of us already own.
