On this episode of Bourbon & Ballistics, we’re taking a different kind of shot.
Recorded in the morning and done remotely, this conversation trades the usual pour for clarity, focus, and insight. Brian Bailie — golf coach, whiskey writer, storyteller, and founder of GolfCask — joins the show to talk about performance, mindset, and the culture that surrounds the game.
With 18 years of collegiate coaching experience and a career now working with elite players, Brian shares why most golfers chase the wrong things, how the short game and mental discipline actually lower scores, and why rituals like bourbon and cigars still matter — even when they aren’t part of the moment.
We also dive into what GolfCask really is:
a community-driven platform blending golf, whiskey, cigars, travel, and storytelling through magazines, podcasts, video content, Whiskey Trails, and the 19th Hole forum.
This episode is about feel over force, process over power, and the shots that matter most — on the course and in life.
