episode 23: Off The Court with Courtney Lee
It’s 2024, and the first episode of the year. We’re back this week with a former NBA first-rounder, Courtney Lee. As golf junkies ourselves, we always enjoy hearing from another ‘pro’ why they’re hooked on this game.
We open up the episode and learn that Courtney just got off the golf course..literally. We talk about some golf in Florida and where he pegs it up. He tells us how he got into golf, thanks to Top Golf.
We get into some talk about his basketball career. After a college run at Western Kentucky, Courtney gets drafted in the first round of the 2008 NBA draft (22nd overall). He shares some stories about his playing time in the league.
Courtney runs with the best of them when playing golf. He tells some stories about playing in celebrity events and what event he hopes to land in sometime in the near future.
We talk about equipment and vibes on the golf course. As you hear, Courtney is no stranger to having fun on the course.
We round out the interview with our standard tap-in segment, where we ask Courtney some questions that demand his quick-witted response. Tune in now to hear this fresh episode. We think you’ll enjoy this one!
