The Cart Barn Podcast is a relaxed golf show built around Alabama stories. It has the feel of a clubhouse conversation where nobody is in a hurry to get to the next segment. The show’s center of gravity is local, but its reach is broader than local scores or course chatter. Alabama becomes the way into bigger golf subjects: the Masters, the Golf Channel, the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, college programs, tour pressure, and the business of keeping players safe in the heat. Guests often carry the episode. Travis Key talks through the medical scare that helped lead to Strokes Gained, then follows the story into product naming, trademarks, golf clubs, and early business growth. Kim Evans brings the conversation from Decatur to Auburn, Georgia Tech, Stewart Sink, and a moment when someone’s insistence helped save her life. Joy Green remembers the early Golf Channel offices as confusing, messy, and full of stories before the network became familiar. Dale Wood’s Golf Channel memories add financial pressure, risk, Birmingham roots, and the uncertainty behind a sports-media idea that almost did not make it. Mike Beverly gives the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail a scale that feels almost civic, with travel golfers, course conditions, economic development, and Dr. Bronner’s original vision all part of the same picture. The Masters episodes are quieter and more reflective. They treat Augusta as a calendar marker, a tradition, and the unofficial opening of golf season for much of the country. The show also cares about performance. A Patton Kizzire conversation turns wins, droughts, preparation, and mental drift into a practical look at what competition costs. The hosts tend to ask simple questions and let the answers stretch. That patience is the point. The best moments come when a guest remembers the detail just beside the headline: where people were sitting, who made the call, how close the money got, what the course felt like, or why a habit finally changed. The result is plainspoken golf history with a strong regional pulse. It suits people who like the game as culture, work, memory, and place, not just leaderboard movement.
Made for: For golfers who like local history, course lore, college golf, Masters tradition, and long-form interviews with people who have lived inside the game.
What sets it apart: Its edge is regional patience: Alabama golf is treated as a living map of courses, coaches, businesses, media stories, and relationships, with guests allowed to tell the long version.
