Ep 172 - My Childhood Idol - Rob Willis

In this episode, I sit down with someone who was a genuine club legend when I was growing up at New Brighton Golf Club — Rob Willis. Rob’s playing career is highlighted by winning the 1988 NSW Amateur Championship before making the jump into professional golf, competing on the Australian Tour and gaining opportunities to play overseas. We dive into what tournament golf was really like in his era — the nerves, the pressure, the practice habits, and what it was like teeing it up alongside some of the game’s biggest names. Rob also shares honest reflections on what he would have done differently with today’s knowledge, how his understanding of performance has evolved over 30+ years in the game, and how he knew it was time to walk away from full-time tour life. This is a brilliant conversation full of perspective for competitive golfers, juniors chasing the dream, and anyone who loves the journey of the game.We thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!🚨 Podcast Partner: TRUE PROTEINI’m proud to partner with TRUE PROTEIN, the go-to supplement brand trusted by elite athletes and weekend warriors alike.
