a
nother thing to look
out for in the new
year is video and simul-
casting on the Worldwide
Golf Shops Insider pod-
cast YouTube page. WGS
Podcast Host Tom Brassell
says the ability for experts
to show viewers how to
use certain products
makes it a no-brainer.
"We had an incredible
demonstration of the
Rapsodo Mobile Launch
Monitor with Art Chou,
and it gave you all the in-
formation you needed to
know, from taking it out of
the box to hitting shots
with it," Brassel said.
Brassell also has been
able to sprinkle in inter-
views with some of the
world's best players, and
aims to do more in 2021.
"After the incredible
summer of 2020 where we
interviewed three of the
top players on tour in a
row – Collin Morikawa,
Webb Simpson and
Xander Schauffele – our
hope is to continue
spending time with top
PGA Tour players."

f you're looking for entertaining and in-
formative insights into the world of golf
gear, the worldwide golf shops insider
podcasts offer a wealth of fascinating
personalities sharing their expertise.
Available on the Worldwide Golf Shops web-
site or via free download on Apple and Android
devices, the podcasts feature world-renowned
industry engineers and professionals discussing
the technological advances in golf equipment, as
well as reviews of the essential products for
golfers of all skill levels. It's a must-listen for
anyone who loves the game and wants to keep
up with the latest advancements in technology.
Tom Brassell, the host and Producer of Digital
Content for Worldwide Golf Shops, said the In-
sider podcasts have been a labor of love since
launching more than a decade ago in 2009.
"I get to stay close to the game, review new
equipment with some of the greatest designers
and product engineers in the world, and inter-
view golf legends," Brassell said.
Having recently passed the 300-show mile-
stone, the podcasts have produced memorable
interviews with everyone from Jack Nicklaus
and Arnold Palmer to Gary Player and Tom
Watson. And with the focus on equipment, Bras-
sell talks with representatives from all the major
manufacturers and companies producing equip-
ment, rangefinders, launch monitors and more.
"PING has their new lineup coming out soon,
so hopefully we can get to speak with CEO John
K. Solheim and Vice President of Fitting and
Performance Marty Jertson, who's also a heck of
a player," Brassell said, looking ahead to his
plans for 2021. "And of course, Titleist will have
the new Pro V1 and Pro V1X golf balls coming
out this year, so we'll have discussion on that,
most likely with Vice President of Golf Ball
Product and Marketing Michael Mahoney or
President of Titleist Golf Balls Mary Lou Bohn."
With the new year ringing in a host of new
gear, the show's focus in early 2021 will be on
those products and how they can help improve
a player's enjoyment of the game.
"We always treasure our interviews with the
CEOs, Chip Brewer of Callaway and David
Abeles of TaylorMade," Brassell said. "They
know the new products inside and out and
bring us so much insight."
