Next on the Tee is built for people who like golf talk with time to breathe. Chris Mascaro runs it like a clubhouse conversation, starting with careful guest introductions and then following the story wherever the game takes it. The show is not just instruction. It is instruction wrapped in memory, personality, and gratitude for the people who have spent their lives around golf. One segment may focus on staying on plane, squaring the clubface, or finding a fast warm-up when a player is late for a tee time. Another may move into TrackMan numbers, launch height, carry gains, ball changes, stretching, weight loss, and how physical changes show up on video. Short game gets real attention. So do putting confidence, alignment tools, mental-game habits, and the everyday problem of taking better swings from the range to the course. The guest list gives the show much of its charge. Gary Player brings forceful opinions about modern distance, course lengthening, tree removal, and the future of professional golf. Michael Riley traces a path from caddying at Somerset Hills into horticulture and golf course design. David Eby brings Augusta University, Augusta National caddie memories, Banyan Golf Club, and South Florida PGA stories into one long arc. Debbie O'Connell, Dr. Bob Winters, Nancy Quarcelino, Jay Delsing, John Cook, Eric Johnson, Bob Friend Jr, Hank Gola, Agustin Piza, Garrett Perdue, Blake Smith, and others each widen the frame. Some guests lean technical. Some lean historical. Some just tell great golf stories. The result is a show where named courses, Augusta National, Pine Valley, the Masters, Ryder Cup history, equipment decisions, and practice habits can all sit comfortably together. It is sincere, expansive, and openly affectionate toward its audience. It also has the habits of a long-running independent show: sponsor reads, repeated thanks, callbacks, big-hearted intros, and the occasional rough-edged bit of banter. For golfers who want a polished five-minute lesson, it may feel sprawling. For listeners who enjoy settling in with people who know the game and love talking about it, that sprawl is the point.
Made for: The show suits committed golf fans, recreational players, competitive players, and instruction-minded listeners who enjoy long-form conversations more than quick tips. It is especially strong for people who care about golf history, course design, tour stories, and practical ways to play better.
What sets it apart: Next on the Tee stands out by blending improvement advice with golf storytelling, letting guests connect technique, memory, course architecture, equipment, and championship experience in one conversation. Its warmth and long-running audience rituals make it feel closer to a regular golf gathering than a clipped media product.
