This week, I kick off a brand-new series where I sit with golfers, creators, and insiders shaping the game's future. First up: my former GCU teammate and the Pull Hook Golf Podcast host, Matt Cook.

Scottsdale Locals

Before we dive into tee boxes and turf talk, here’s a quick tip: Read Scottsdale Scoop.

Scottsdale Scoop is the cheat code to living your best life. It’s a fun, no-fluff newsletter that drops the inside Scoop on new restaurants, low-key happy hours, upcoming events, local legends, and even a few “Wait, that’s happening here?” moments.

Whether you’re looking for where to post up after your Saturday morning round or want to stay in the loop without scrolling for hours, the Scoop’s got you. Fast, fresh, and free.

I subscribed. You should, too.

6 Questions with Matt Cook

[00:00] From Burnout to Breakthrough

Before: College golfer. Pro aspirations. Tech startup grind.

After: Host of Pull Hook Golf, one of the most refreshing golf podcasts.

Matt Cook had no intention of becoming a media guy. He just got tired of the fluff. Three years later, he’s built a podcast that feels like late-night beers with your smartest golf buddies, part breakdown, part banter, all real.

The result? 150+ episodes, thousands of loyal listeners, and not a single week missed. Ever. That’s tour-level consistency.
