The ProShow with Keith Stewart

There's only one way to wrap up the year, have Keith and Wade break it down. After a quick birthday wish to Tiger, the two ProShow voices go through fifteen outstanding stories. Some we remember, some we don't. That's what year-end shows are for! From Nelly's blood clot to Phil's frontal lobotomy, 2022 did not disappoint on drama. Month after month the sublime became real and the golf community was literally turned upside down. We still don't know where it will continue to go, but the product we consume has been improved. 2023 plans to be even better when we consider more golf from Tiger, the Netflix series on the PGA Tour, LPGA purses, "designated" events and overall championship venues. We don't know what will happen, but this compelling conversation of 2022 will certainly help get us ready for it. Enjoy the candor, tangents, and laughs in this sixty minute summary of the year that was from the perspective of Friday afternoons. The Weekly Update: The Top 10 updates from 2022. An eclectic list of the most "interesting" stories we covered to close the show this year.

The golf world is full of great stories. PGA Professional Chandler Withington stepped away from the Director of Golf role at Hazeltine National Golf Club in 2021. He had an idea on how to create a better quality of life for he and his family. That idea took a little time to build, but his tremendous work ethic allowed him to persevere. Chandler loves the history of golf and is a tremendous artist. He combined that interest and talent and started Archive 22. Archive 22 is an unbelievable concept. Withington creates pieces of historic art displaying moments in the ecosystem of our game. Throughout our conversation, Keith and Chandler covered: The first piece available from Chandler is a historic account of the US Open. He spoke with all 51 clubs that have hosted the tournament over its 127 year history. Collecting this style of art history is vanguard in the golf world.
