Our guest today is Zach Smith, 2020 Scottsdale Arizona Open Champion, former UC Santa Barbara golfer turned pro, and member of the Mackenzie Tour, aka the PGA Tour Canada. Zach and I were teammates for 4 years at UCSB, where I was able to learn so much from him and watch him grow into the golfer he is today.
When we recorded this, Zach had just won the Scottsdale Arizona Open in May, shooting 63-67-62 to win by 3, beating a field with numerous former and current PGA Tour players, including being in the final pairing with current PGA Tour player Joel Dahmen. A couple weeks later, I caddied for Zach at the Southern Dunes Classic, an Outlaw Tour event, where he shot 68-69-66 to finish 2nd.
In this episode, Zach and I talk about his life journey and his quest to the PGA Tour. He goes into detail about his experiences on the big stage, what he has learned from playing with current and former PGA Tour Players, and what he believes are the most important things to work on.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
