The Golf Stories We Never Write Down | Curt Thompson | The Cart Barn Podcast

Every golfer has a story they still remember.

A shot from thirty years ago. A round with their father. A tournament that changed everything. A playing partner who later became someone they never expected.

This week, Chris Lemley and Gregg DeWalt welcome Curt Thompson, creator of Dear Golf Journal, for a conversation about why golf memories stay with us long after the scorecard is forgotten.

From Future Masters memories and lifelong friendships to rounds with family and the shots that still come to mind decades later, Curt shares why preserving these stories may be one of the most meaningful parts of the game.

The conversation explores golf's unique ability to connect generations, create lasting relationships, and leave us with memories that become part of who we are.

Topics include:

• Why golfers remember shots from decades ago
• The stories hidden behind our favorite rounds
• Future Masters memories and friendships that lasted a lifetime
• Playing Dothan Country Club forty years apart
• Golf journaling and preserving family history
• Paul Tesori and the relationships golf creates
• Why golf remains a game we can enjoy for a lifetime

Whether you're a competitive player, a weekend golfer, or someone who simply loves the game, this episode will likely remind you of a few stories of your own.
