    Awesome interview! Actually found the original Brooke interview last year and that’s how I found back of the range! Really cool to hear it full circle. Cheers!
  • Wineman1212
    Love It and Worth A Listen
    What a great podcast with funny stories and some awesome guests. No two episodes are the same or guests. The guest lineup is some notable names along with the future of pro golf. Ben is solid and his voice is like John Tesh. Listen, subscribe and enjoy!
  • Jay Thooft

    Great interview with Andy Pope. I have always been a big fan of the show and listen to it religiously, but was very excited to see a fellow XU alumnus as this week’s guest. Excellent interview as always. Keep up the great content generation!

    Ben is doing a great job shining a light on corners of the golf world that have not gotten as much attention. Lots of fun, very informative and gives you a rooting interest in lots of golfers who are making their way up the golf ladder.
  • jschwartz12
    Awesome Stuff
    Keep up the great work! Really love hearing stories that are both golf related and funny! This is turkey the only place where we can hear stories that you would here from a post round interview! Really get to see who the player truly is. Can’t wait for what is to come!!
  • sjshsnajs
    Cool
    Great podcast.. definitely needs to invest in a better microphone. The sound is not good
  • jjm2214
    One of my favorites
    Easily one of my favorite podcasts out there. Ben does an awesome job and gets some great guests. You’ll hear stories here you can’t hear anywhere else. Definitely worth your time. Highly recommend.
  • CSull57
    Must Listen Golf Podcast
    Easily one of the best golf podcasts going. Must listen for any big amateur golf fan. Thanks for keeping them coming while we are all stuck inside.

    Big fan of the podcast. Keep up the great work!
  • JohnFox4
    Jimmy Dunne Podcast
    In a world with so much content, everyone has a “must listen”. By stumbling across this podcast series and knowing The Dunnes, this moved right up to the top of my list. This is was one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to. Ben asks great questions and is truly able to show Jimmys true character. One of the most generous, authentic people who considers themselves an underdog. Even though in my mind he is one of the most successful people in businesses and in life. Going forward I will listen to all of these podcasts and I advise you do the same. You will learn more about yourself, golf and life.
  • Nurk86
    Great listen
    Drove a little over 14 hours the last two days and listened to 16 different episodes!! Great shows and guests. Gives you a great look into some of the grind these amateurs put in!! Best golf podcast I’ve listened to
  • Flgal74
    Podcast is a must listen
    I’m a junior golfer looking to make it to the college ranks and I love listening to every podcast you upload. Looking forward to many more great podcasts Ben.

    Great Listen
    One of the best golf podcasts out there. Thoughtful questions, interesting guests, very good stories and insights into the untold stories in the golfing world.
  • Texasmomx2
    Great insight into college golf life
    Highly recommend this podcast to every junior golf family just starting to explore the path to college golf. It’s great to get a behind the scenes look at college golf life (and beyond) from both a player’s perspective and coach’s perspective. Every guest has a fascinating story to tell and Ben does a great job getting it out of them.

    Back of the range

    Back of the Range Review: The Best Golf Podcsst
    Huge fan of the podcast. I have been listening to all the episodes on Spotify! Love all the different interviews; from college coaches, college players, pros and amateurs! I would love for more amateurs and mid am interviews! Guys that have everyday jobs like myself but are great players, unlike me. Go get Nathan Smith!
  • mdc drums
    Great coverage of amateur/collegiate golf
    As a Dad of 2 golf crazy boys who aspire to one day play collegiate golf, and as a golf fan myself, I love any golf media that features amateur/NCAA golf — Back of the Range podcast definitely delivers!
  • donald10983

    Recommendation
    Love the pod and have always been a big fan. I have a recommendation for future guests. I know college coaches are very interesting John handrigan, coach of notre dame men’s golf, took over the program two years ago. Without his own recruits came in ranked 120ish then his first year went to 60ish and now they are ranked inside the top ten. I think he must be doing some special stuff!
  • Alarm clock yeah
    Very solid

    Amateur Life at its Finest
    Great podcast for the avid amateur golfer. Ben interviews high level amateurs and it is great to hear how they balance life and golf. It gives the the listener a great perspective on what it takes to be a top level amateur. If you want to listen to high level players that have a true love for the game, this is the podcast for you!
  • Meetz22
    Great Podcast
    Really enjoy listening to these top midAm’s and their experiences playing against some of the best players in the world. Also please have Scott Harvey on again!!
  • avielmet
    Great podcast even if you are not a golfer
    Ben Adelberg does his homework and offers so much more than the run-of-the-mill golf magazine interview. Listeners learn about the process, not just the results. Ben asks thoughtful questions, and includes questions pertaining to junior golfers.

    The voice of angel
    I subscribed to this podcast in November/December and haven’t missed an episode since. A great variety of guests and good questions. I would love to hear more of the fringe PGA/Web guys. I enjoy hearing the stresses of travel, finances, balancing family life, all while trying to make cuts. Keep up the great work...you’re doing great (I would never say that just for free swag merch).
