“As for how The DROP Podast got started, it was born out our shared passion for golf and our desire to showcase the unique golfing experiences in New Jersey,” said Puorro. “ We(myself and Ryan) hope to grow the podcast into a platform that not only entertains, but also informs and inspires golf enthusiasts across the state and beyond.
“Our favorite interviews have been with individuals who bring fresh perspective to the game, whether they’re professionals, directors of golf national figures, or amazing Mid-Ams. Each interview has provided valuable insights and memorable moments that we love to share with our audiences.”
