Season 4 of The Hole Story starts with special guest, Billy Draddy, to talk about the moments, people, and risks that shaped his journey in golf.

Billy shares how a love for the game turned into building one of the most respected golf apparel portfolios in the industry, the importance of honoring golf’s traditions while still pushing it forward, and why storytelling matters just as much in business as it does on the course.

This is a conversation about relationships, long-term vision, and playing the long game — in golf and in life.

We're heading to the Scottish fairways in this episode of The Hole Story Podcast with Alan Moore, a designer reimagining the world of golf accessories through the lens of tradition and storytelling.

Alan joins hosts Robby and Jonathan to share how he's woven the rich history of Scottish golf, tartan patterns, and even stories from the whisky industry into bespoke products for golf clubs across the globe—including head covers, bags, flasks, and much more. We go behind the scenes into Alan’s creative process, discovering how each course’s unique story—from forgotten park benches to nesting arctic terns—gets stitched into fabric, turning club pride and local lore into wearable expressions of heritage.
