E5. Greens & Grains - Sweet as Tennessee Whiskey
Welcome back to Greens and Grain, where the fairways are smooth, the whiskey smoother, and the stories bold. Today, we're diving into Tennessee—music that stirs the soul, whiskey that dances on your taste buds, and golf courses that challenge your swing.
We kick things off with the story of Chris Stapleton. Born in a Kentucky coal town, Chris made his mark in Nashville, turning "Tennessee Whiskey" into a soulful, smooth tribute to life’s finer things. His voice aged the song to perfection, much like a fine bourbon.
Next, we explore Tennessee whiskey’s rich history. From Jack Daniel’s iconic distillery and Nathan “Nearest” Green’s legacy to brands like George Dickel and Uncle Nearest, we highlight what makes Tennessee whiskey unique—especially the Lincoln County Process that gives it its signature smoothness.
Planning a whiskey tour? Must-visits include Jack Daniel’s in Lynchburg, George Dickel in Tullahoma, and Uncle Nearest in Shelbyville, plus Nashville’s Nelson’s Green Brier and the upcoming Heaven’s Door Distillery by Bob Dylan.
Switching gears, we break down putting fundamentals, explaining how setup and technique can improve your game. Whether you prefer an arc or straight stroke, we’ll help you find your groove.
