In this episode of Invested in the Game, Kevin Kisner reflects on his unconventional path through professional golf and his evolution into a broadcaster. He shares how growing up around a golf course shaped his competitive edge and “grit-first” approach to the game.

Kisner discusses the realities of grinding through mini tours, earning his PGA TOUR success the hard way, and building a career defined less by raw power and more by resilience, course management, and mental toughness. He contrasts that era with today’s distance-driven game, acknowledging how modern technology and training have reshaped golf.

The conversation also explores his transition into broadcasting, where authenticity has become his differentiator. Kisner emphasizes staying true to himself across platforms, balancing professionalism with personality, and maintaining trust with fellow players. Ultimately, he explains that stepping back from full-time competition came down to changing priorities and a waning desire to grind at the highest level.

This episode features author and golf writer Tom Coyne, whose latest book, A Course Called Home, chronicles his unexpected journey from storyteller to steward of a struggling nine-hole golf course in New York’s Catskills. What begins as a potential magazine story evolves into a hands-on experiment in saving a community course—learning maintenance, navigating finances, and ultimately becoming an owner.

Beyond the book, Coyne reflects on his lifelong relationship with golf, his evolution from fiction to immersive nonfiction storytelling, and why the game uniquely lends itself to compelling narratives. The conversation highlights golf’s blend of challenge, introspection, and community—and how those elements fuel both great stories and lasting personal connections.

In this episode of Invested in the Game, Mason Reed interviews golf course photographer Evan Schiller about his journey from competitive golfer to one of the most recognized visual storytellers in golf. Evan shares how his father introduced him to the game, how junior and high‑school golf led to college golf and professional attempts, and how an unexpected moment at PGA WEST® inspired him to pick up a camera for the first time.

Evan describes the early days of taking film photos during practice rounds, how displaying prints in a pro shop led to his first sales, and how a hobby organically evolved into a career—long before email, social media, or drones made it easier. He discusses why photography matters, both as inspiration and as a trigger for powerful memories, and breaks down what makes a compelling image.

Evan and Mason also discuss golf's most visually stunning venues, bucket‑list courses Evan still hopes to photograph, and broader trends in golf—especially the rise of destination golf and how photography helps people connect emotionally to places where they've played or dream of playing.
