I sat down with Simon Zybeck, founder and CEO of Blitz Golf, to talk about how Blitz started, why the format is so different from traditional golf, and why Blitz Golf UK could be one of the most exciting things to happen to the game.

In this episode, Simon shares his journey from basketball and property development into building Blitz Golf, explains the unique 6-3-1 format, and reveals why the product has connected with both golf fans and non-golf fans alike. We also discuss the UK launch, the vision for global expansion, fan accessibility, celebrity involvement, and how Blitz Golf is creating a faster, more entertaining version of the sport. The conversation also dives into golf culture, modern audiences, preferred lies, handicap debate, and where Simon believes Blitz can go over the next few years.

If you’re interested in the future of golf, golf entertainment, new golf formats, or how the game can evolve for a modern audience, this is a brilliant conversation.
