There's only one way to wrap up the year, have Keith and Wade break it down. After a quick birthday wish to Tiger, the two ProShow voices go through fifteen outstanding stories. Some we remember, some we don't. That's what year-end shows are for!  From Nelly's blood clot to Phil's frontal lobotomy, 2022 did not disappoint on drama. Month after month the sublime became real and the golf community was literally turned upside down. We still don't know where it will continue to go, but the product we consume has been improved.  2023 plans to be even better when we consider more golf from Tiger, the Netflix series on the PGA Tour, LPGA purses, "designated" events and overall championship venues. We don't know what will happen, but this compelling conversation of 2022 will certainly help get us ready for it.  Enjoy the candor, tangents, and laughs in this sixty minute summary of the year that was from the perspective of Friday afternoons.  The Weekly Update: The Top 10 updates from 2022. An eclectic list of the most "interesting" stories we covered to close the show this year.    ProShow Playlist Ep. #239:  White House Road (Tyler Childers), Industry Baby (Lil' Nas X and Jack Harlow), Born this Way (Lady Gaga)

The golf world is full of great stories. PGA Professional Chandler Withington stepped away from the Director of Golf role at Hazeltine National Golf Club in 2021. He had an idea on how to create a better quality of life for he and his family. That idea took a little time to build, but his tremendous work ethic allowed him to persevere.  Chandler loves the history of golf and is a tremendous artist. He combined that interest and talent and started Archive 22. Archive 22 is an unbelievable concept. Withington creates pieces of historic art displaying moments in the ecosystem of our game.  Throughout our conversation, Keith and Chandler covered: - The company's origin story - Chandler's art and history interest - PGA career path - The company's name - The challenge of creating historic golf art  The first piece available from Chandler is a historic account of the US Open. He spoke with all 51 clubs that have hosted the tournament over its 127 year history. Collecting this style of art history is vanguard in the golf world. Celebrating Chandler's courage cannot be overstated.   Enjoy this conversation and be inspired by one man's journey to reach a brand new summit.  The Weekly Update: Nelly turning heads, Zalatoris' wedding, a Moroccan win, Luke Poulter wins, and Jack's lawsuit.    ProShow Playlist Ep. #237:  Changes (David Bowie), Don't You (Forget About Me) (Simple Minds), More (Trey Anastasio)

It's the final week for the LPGA and PGA Tour in 2022. Tour golf is about to take a break. Keith is in Georgia at Sea Island to cover the men while his guest this week, Chantel McCabe, is in southwest Florida to cover the women.  Together they breakdown the CME Group Tour Championship. Two million dollars to the winner for the women will raise some attention and add to all the pressure packed drama we are set to see in Naples.  Sea Island is unseasonably cold this week. Keith's visit covers all the action. From the range to the course, nothing is more engaging than a live report from the front lines. He has a bunch of player and caddie insights to relay including everyone's reaction to the current stories in the game.  From the OWGR to Rory's rip on Greg Norman, golf continues to entertain us all with weekly drama.

The New Jersey Golf Foundation has supported the ProShow since the start. In this episode, we provide our support to their programming. In 2022, they opened the Inspiration Driving Range on the campus of the Lyons VA Center. Keith visited the facility for today's show.

As we approach November, that means Veterans' Day will soon follow. The PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) program continues to grow nationwide and that sustained success is due in large part to HOPE Ambassadors like Garret Hrynko.  Garret is a veteran who possesses a servant's heart. You won't believe what he has done in support of our country's veterans. For starters, he rode a bike from Oregon to Virginia!  Now Hrynko works with his local PGA HOPE chapter in New Jersey to engage our non-active military with golf. Alongside PGA Professionals, Garret grows the game and partners with veterans in search of some hope of their own.  Garret's story is a testament to his willpower and wonderful caring personality.
