Chip-N-Chat
Chip-n-Chat is more than a golf podcast.
It’s a space for community, storytelling, healing, laughter, and real conversation.
Hosted by Dakota Smith, Chip-n-Chat explores the stories people carry — both on and off the course. What started as casual conversations around the game has grown into something deeper: honest talks about grief, identity, passion, growth, faith, inclusion, creativity, and the people who make this community feel like home.
Built around the belief that golf can connect people in powerful ways, Chip-n-Chat is about showing up as yourself, connecting through stories, and creating meaningful conversations that remind people they are never alone.
Featuring guests from all walks of life — players, community leaders, creators, friends, and more — this new chapter of Chip-n-Chat is rooted in authenticity, belonging, and the moments that stay with us long after the round ends.
