“I love GolfWRX — been visiting the site for over a decade now. I also enjoy the content and insight on Johnny’s Insta. But man, the guy needs to learn how to run a proper interview. He is constantly droning on about his own personal anecdotes instead of letting his guests fully share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences. For example, I was extremely excited for the Freddie interview, as I’ve been a huge fan of his throughout my entire life. The whole dialogue felt stiff and, frankly, a little off-putting. Johnny made it a point to answer many of his own questions regarding Couples’ WITB, and was all to happy to wax poetic about his own personal experiences with all these people that Freddie knew. To top it off, Johnny says “yeah” and “right” and “sure” waaaaaaay too often while his guests are trying to shape their thoughts and craft their answers. It creates a cacophonous, disjointed conversation that sounds more like coworkers grumbling over the lunch order than two golfers talking shop.
I’d recommend Johnny listen to some of the great interviewers — Howard Stern (I’m serious), Marc Mason (again, I’m serious), or Preet Bharara — to learn how to lead a conversation without taking it over.
I’m looking forward, though, to seeing where he takes this. There’s nowhere to go but up.”
