Welcome to this episode of The Wild Golf Podcast.  I am your host Michael McDonald.   My guest on this episode is Richard Pennell,  the passionate author behind Stymied; a blog about Richard’s love affair with the beguiling mistress that is golf.  In this episode we discuss Richard’s journey in life and the golf industry,  starting with his first golf teacher and mentor and finishing with his current sabbatical away from the golf industry, but still passionately in love with the game and writing about it every morning.  I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did and hope the readings in this episode will inspire you to subscribe to Stymied and fall in love with the game again.
