We're sitting down with a true storyteller and golf industry trailblazer—Danny Christiansen, founder of Oak Stump Strategy and co-founder of the Restoration Club.
Danny takes us behind the scenes of what it means to be a brand builder, content creator, and community leader in modern golf. We dig into the incredible journeys behind his documentary filmmaking, including the origins of Landmand Golf Club in "Anything But Little" and the emotional power of connection in the upcoming "Keep Showing Up." Danny shares what it’s really like to peel back the layers of golf’s most inspiring stories—from rural Nebraska villages to restoration projects at classic country clubs.
We also get the inside scoop on the vision behind Restoration Club, the blossoming faith-based golf community bringing guys together from across the country. Danny opens up about navigating the transition from big agency life to building his own creative firm, offers his branding wisdom, and reflects on the power of people-driven storytelling in golf.
Plus, tee it up for Danny’s favorite golf moments, nostalgic par-3 stories, dream foursome picks, and his philosophy for creating lasting impact both on and off the course.
Whether you love a great golf origin story, crave insight from one of the game’s top content minds, or just appreciate the people who make golf special—this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
