ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Actor, director, producer, and filmmaker Colin Hanks came to golf relatively late — and now he’s making up for lost time.


We met Colin on the golf course a few months ago, and his passion for the game stood out immediately. He joins us to talk about how he got hooked on the game, why The Olympic Club is his favorite course, and what he’s learned from getting comfortable being bad at something again. We also get into golf’s unique culture, white belts, the realization that nobody cares how well you play, and the surprising parallels between golf, acting, and storytelling.


And of course, Colin shares what he thinks is the soul of the game.
