Dave Schultz: From Korn Ferry Grind to Hosting The Hole-In-One TV Show
About this episode
Dave Schultz joins The Dan Evans Show for a raw, funny, and inspiring deep dive into the grind of professional golf and how a brutal 88 on the Hooters Tour helped launch his second life in the game.
Dave opens up about:
growing up in Fargo and the passion for golf in frozen winters
playing Division I golf at TCU and battling through Korn Ferry Tour life
expenses, cheap hotels, Avis rental car lines, and pursuing the PGA Tour dream
the mental pressure, missed cuts, Q-School heartbreak, and the emotional burden pros carry
how the Hole-In-One Show is changing lives by putting amateur golfers under TV pressure
his journey into media, inspired by his late father and broadcasting family roots
the moment he almost quit professional golf
charity impact, future expansion, and raising money through golf TV
The Hole-In-One Show gives amateur golfers two shots at life-changing prizes — including cars and even $1 million — while raising money for charity. Dave explains how the show works, why pressure reveals character, and why amateur golfers struggle more with nerves than pros.
