In Episode 18 of the LA Golf Channel Podcast, Lee is joined by Kev and Mark from Apeiron, the Liverpool-based golf clothing brand built from friendship, podcasting, junior golf, community, and a serious love for the game.

The lads talk through the journey from the Bogey Boys podcast to launching Appear On, how golf helped shape their lives, the reality of building a clothing brand from scratch, getting stocked in America, supporting local golf events, and why community is such a huge part of what they’re trying to build.

This episode also dives into junior golf, golf in schools, the importance of communication through the game, handicap debates, team golf, LIV Golf, amateur rules, divots, preferred lies, golf etiquette, and whether new golfers should need a “golf licence” before heading onto the course.

A brilliant conversation about golf, business, friendship, Liverpool, mindset, and why the game can open doors far beyond the fairway.

Listen now to hear the full story behind Apeiron and the people driving one of the most exciting golf brands coming out of the UK.

In this episode of the LA Golf Channel Podcast, Lee sits down with Dave Carter, the founder of Holben Golf, to talk about building one of the most welcoming amateur golf communities in the North West.

Recorded at Manchester Golf Club during a Holbon Golf event, this conversation dives into how Dave has grown the tour through word of mouth, why community matters so much in golf, and how events like these are helping golfers experience brilliant courses in a relaxed, competitive and enjoyable environment.

Dave also shares his thoughts on the changing culture of golf, from dress codes and old-school traditions to making the game feel more inclusive, friendly and accessible. The conversation also covers Dave’s time as a golf club captain, the challenges of running golf events, pace of play, handicap expectations, mindset on the course, and why enjoying the game should always come before chasing a number.

There are also plenty of laughs along the way, including Lee’s infamous first tee story at Warrington Golf Club, the “Lee Brennan rule”, Dave’s Holben Golf origin story, and some brilliant insight into what makes a great golf day.

Whether you are a golf club member, society golfer, amateur competitor, golf event organiser, or someone who simply loves the game, this episode is a great reminder of what golf is really about: people, stories, courses, community and enjoying the walk.

In this episode of the LA Golf Channel Podcast, I’m joined by Golf With Ellie, one of the most exciting female golf creators in the North of England.

Ellie shares how she first got into golf around 18 months ago, why the game became her escape as a busy mum, and how documenting her journey on Instagram helped her find a growing community of golfers, creators and women who simply wanted more people to play with.

We talk about her role as the Northern representative for The Dutchess Golf Club, the upcoming Northern Women’s Golf Day at High Legh, and why creating more opportunities for women in golf is so important. Ellie also opens up about the realities of being a female golf creator online, dealing with unwanted messages, building confidence, and why the golf community can still be an incredibly supportive space.

There’s plenty of golf chat too, from winter practice, learning the difference between range golf and course golf, chasing the goal of breaking 100, improving short game, golf fashion, Carden Park, Dundonald Links, Royal Birkdale, Formby Ladies, and the exciting possibility of Ellie getting behind-the-scenes access at the Women’s Scottish Open.

This is a brilliant conversation about golf, confidence, community, motherhood, content creation and the growing future of women’s golf.

Whether you’re new to golf, trying to break 100, interested in women’s golf, or building your own journey in the game, this episode is packed with relatable stories and honest advice.
