She Sewed Her First Headcover in a Dorm Room. Now Zalea's Golf Is at Bay Hill.
Zoe Walker went from a reluctant cheerleader who wanted nothing to do with golf, to a preferred walk on for the University of Georgia women's golf team, to a professional golfer competing on the Women's All Pro Tour and Annika Tour, all while building Zalea's Golf Co, a women's golf headcover brand that started with a bag of fabric from Hobby Lobby and her grandmother's sewing machine.In this episode, Zoe talks about growing up in Palm Desert, California surrounded by golf she had no interest in until watching Bubba Watson win the Masters changed her mind, the cold email campaign that eventually landed her a spot on Georgia's roster, closing the distance gap against a freshman class of top international recruits, and why she left a commercial real estate career to chase professional golf. She also breaks down how Zalea's Golf Co grew from custom head covers made in her dorm room into a brand carried by more than fifty wholesale accounts, including Bay Hill, and what she's building toward with Q school this September in Daytona.Topics covered: junior golf development, walking on to SEC golf, mini tour and Annika Tour golf, Q school prep, women's golf headcovers, building a golf brand from scratch, and balancing professional golf with running a business.Find Zalea's Golf Co at zaleasgolf.com and on Instagram @ZaleasGolf.Every golfer has a story worth preserving.

Jason Bohn: Ernie Els Asked Him for Putting Tips
Jason Bohn is a two-time PGA Tour winner, University of Alabama golf alum, and now a PGA Tour Champions player competing this week at the 2026 Regions Tradition in Hoover, Alabama. On this episode of the Cart Barn Podcast, Bohn tells the story of the day Ernie Els, a four-time major champion and World Golf Hall of Famer, walked up to him on the practice green and asked him for putting tips.

It's the same reason you can get Vijay Singh alone in a bunker for an hour and he'll tell you everything he knows.Bohn also talks about choosing Alabama golf over a hometown offer from Penn State, life in Atlanta playing with fellow PGA Tour pros Stewart Cink and Billy Andrade, Wednesday night Bible study with Cink and Zach Johnson, buying a house in Tuscaloosa his own kids aren't allowed to live in, Alabama's new golf facility, and where he lands on NIL money in college golf.Topics covered:The Ernie Els putting green storyChoosing Alabama golf over Penn State for the weatherHis college teammates, including Dicky PrideWhy PGA Tour Champions feels like a throwback to the 1950s and 60s barnstorming daysWhat Vijay Singh will teach you if you get him in a bunker for an hourLife in Atlanta, playing with Stewart Cink and Billy AndradeSeason tickets, a Tuscaloosa house just for him and his wife, and raising two future Alabama studentsThe new Alabama golf facility Coach Sewell calls a "Lamborghini"NIL, college golf's facilities arms race, and why today's junior golfers are just better athletesEvery golfer has a story worth preserving.
