Gary Huston - The Golf Connection


Gary & oldest son Ian


Do you eat, sleep, and breathe golf? Or, does your loved one…and you'd like to be able to carry on at least some kind of conversation? Then, tune in to The Golf Connection co-hosted by Gary Huston (and his partner Greg Rakestraw). Every week, Gary and his guests discuss the latest in golf circles. From the tours and tournament news, to the latest controversy, to the best golf destinations from classic to contemporary, Gary and gang hit it all and let the opinions fly!

Gary's first taste of golf came unexpectedly at the age of 9 when his mother took him to the local club. Thinking he was going to spend the day lounging at the pool with his buds, Gary was instead disappointed when his mother dropped him and a battered old bag of clubs off at the pro shop for his first junior clinic. Dismay, however, quickly turned to delight when Gary connected with a 7-iron and sent the ball on its' way! He's been hooked ever since. Tutored and mentored along the way by Lloyd Wadkins, contemporary and friend of Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, and top US amateur Ed Tutwiler, Gary learned the "old school" way of golf - shot shaping, rhythm, feel and few mechanics. Lloyd once told Gary that he didn't teach putting but, if Gary wanted to learn, "watch old tapes of Bobby Locke"; now, that's old school.

"Real life" interrupted Gary's golf game along the way as he went to work in the travel and airline industries; first, as a tour director/escort and then, on the operations side of things. Over twenty years, work in the industry has taken Gary around the world from embassy meetings in London, Italy and Hong Kong to meetings with high-level government officials in Beijing, China and Bonn, Germany. Detail-oriented, full of ideas, and ready for a new challenge, Gary decided it was time to combine two of his passions - golf and travel, so he could enjoy the best of both!

The Golf Connection is the result. Join Gary each week as he discusss golf with guests such as Wayne Player, younger half of only the second father/son duo ever to qualify in the same year for the final rounds of the British Open with his very un-"politically-correct" ideas; or, representatives of the world's best golf destinations sharing history or the latest & greatest; or, the owner of the world's largest publisher of golf books introducing new titles; or, even regular Joe's voicing opinions on Tiger Woods and Augusta.

So, turn on The Golf Connection and tune in to the real world of golf!
