Gear Smart Podcast: Shane Bacon On The Club That Got Away

Shane Bacon joins the Gear Smart Podcast to talk about caddying at St Andrews, his favorite clubs, and his bag of Ping gear.

Shane Bacon is one of the busiest people in golf. From broadcasting to podcasting, authoring kids' books, and being the voice for many Ping commercials, there are few things he hasn't tackled—he's even caddied at St Andrews. Golf Blueprint is one of the smartest minds in golf practice and preparation. He works with everyone from the best players in the world to everyday golfers just trying to break their next scoring barrier.

On this week's episode of Gear Smart, Shane discussed it all with host Ryan Barath (me), and goes deep on the first club he can remember buying with his own money, how his clubs have changed over the years, and since he's a lefty, the clubs that he always wanted but could never buy.






The full episode is available now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, along with all other major podcast platforms, plus video clips distributed across Skratch social channel and the dedicated Gear Smart Instagram page.
