How much of your golf game starts with your body?

In this episode of Grilling at the Green, Jeff Tracy sits down with Nicole Hage, former LPGA Tour player and Business Development Manager for Golf Forever.

Nicole talks about chasing golf from a young age, life on tour, the decision to step away from competition, and why mobility, strength, and confidence matter if you want to keep playing your best.

From LPGA stories to real talk about golf fitness, this one is worth the watch.

We spent several fantastic days covering The Standard Portland Classic, and we had the best seat in the house above the 18th green.

It was a great pleasure and honor to work with Monica, Lynn, and their staff from Little Bird Media, TGF, the LPGA Tour, Columbia Edgewater Country Club, Ryan Ballengee and Golf News Net, the volunteers, our sponsors, and all of our guests on Grilling at the Green.

We thought we would share some images captured throughout the week at The Standard Portland Classic.

Looking forward to doing it again next year.

What do barbecue, oysters, TGL, Christmas gifts, and mowing the lawn have to do with golf? Apparently, everything.

In this After Hours episode of Grilling at the Green, Jeff Tracy sits down with Frank Nobilo from CBS Sports for the kind of conversation you don’t usually hear on a regular golf broadcast.

Frank opens up about life on the road, the foods he looks forward to, what he really thinks about indoor golf, and the surprisingly sweet Christmas gift from his wife that turned into one of the best stories of the episode.

And just when you think the conversation is going one way, it turns into a hilarious and honest chat about lawnmowers, cut grass, and why some simple things still matter.

It’s relaxed, funny, personal, and exactly the kind of 19th-hole conversation golf fans will want to hear.

What was Frank Nobilo’s favorite Christmas present?

In this reel, host Jeff Tracy asks Frank Nobilo about the best gift he received, and Frank’s answer takes a fun and surprisingly sweet turn.

Yes, there were clothes. A lot of clothes. Maybe even a hint from his wife.

But the gift that stood out most was a custom song she made for him, built around their story and turned into a country and western track.

Golf talk, personal stories, and a little holiday humor. This is one of those fun 19th-hole moments from the full episode.

If golf instruction keeps changing, how do we know what’s actually true?

In this episode of Grilling at the Green, Jeff Tracy sits down with Frank Nobilo for a smart and honest conversation about golf swing perspective, broadcast preparation, and how technology is changing the way we understand the game.

Frank talks about why camera angles can sometimes make a swing look different than what the player is actually doing.

The lesson? A coach may not be wrong, but new information, better technology, and a different perspective can completely change the way we see the swing.

Of course, Jeff and Frank also get into golf media, Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, and what it really takes to prepare for live tournament coverage.

Sometimes, what we think we know about the golf swing changes when we see it from a different angle. ⛳️

In this reel, host Jeff Tracy and guest Frank Nobilo, golf commentator for CBS, dive into how perspective, camera angles, and new information can shape the way players and coaches understand the swing.

A coach may not be wrong with the information they had at the time, but as technology improves and more data becomes available, the way we teach and learn the game continues to evolve.

It’s a great reminder that golf instruction is always growing, and sometimes what looks like one move on camera may actually be something completely different in the body.

Catch the reel and follow Grilling at the Green for more golf conversations, swing insights, and stories from the game.
