In this bonus edition of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by long-time Twitter friend and the Host of the "Rapper Don't Golf" podcast, Tucker Booth.
Tucker is an Entertainer, Rapper, Writer, Podcast Host, and Little League Coach. We talk about:
- When golf entered his life.
- How the title of his show came about.
- His book that will come out in July.
- The work he's doing to help former Golf Channel On-Air Talent Lisa Cornwell write her upcoming book that details the challenges she dealt with at the channel.
- His mentor, our mutual friend, and his recent interview with former Golf Channel Executive Director of Production Michael Whelan. Mike is the genius behind getting every show on the channel created plus he discovered talents like Kraig Kann and Scott Van Pelt, and went and got another mutual friend, Keith Hirshland, to Produce their live tournament coverage. Mike is now dealing with cancer and sharing his experience on Twitter @mikejwhelan.
- We also hear about the great joy he's getting from coaching his son's Little League, who are in the playoffs.
Next on the Tee, Where Golf Legends Live & Your Game Gets Better
Next on the Tee with Chris Mascaro is a conversation-driven golf podcast built on gratitude, storytelling, and a genuine love for the game. Each week, award-winning host Chris Mascaro welcomes golf legends, major champions, top instructors, broadcasters, caddies, and industry insiders to share the stories you won’t hear anywhere else—stories that entertain, inspire, and help you play better golf.
More than swing tips and scorecards, Next on the Tee is about the people who make the game special. From behind-the-scenes moments at major championships to practical instruction you can take straight to the course, every episode blends insight, heart, and a deep appreciation for the game’s traditions and its future.
Whether you’re a lifelong golfer or simply someone who loves great stories, this is your front-row seat to the heart of the game—where golf legends live, your game gets better, and gratitude always leads the way.
And as always…thank you for pressing play and sharing the show.
Meet the Host
I’m Chris Mascaro, who is blessed to be the award-winning host and creator of Next on the Tee. The heart of the show is a deep gratitude for my guests who share great stories, and a genuine love for the game of golf. Each week, I’m fortunate to sit down with golf legends, major champions, top instructors, broadcasters, caddies, and storytellers who are kind enough to share their time, insights, and experiences with all of us.
I believe golf is at its best when it brings people together. My goal with every episode is to go beyond the leaderboard and the swing tips, and instead focus on the stories, lessons, and moments that stay with us—both on and off the course. I want listeners to enjoy the game more, think about it a little differently, and feel connected to the people who have shaped it.
Next on the Tee has been honored with multiple industry awards, including w3, Davey, and Communicator Awards, and I’m incredibly grateful for that recognition. Even more meaningful to me is the community that’s grown around the show—“Next on the Tee Nation.” I never take for granted that you choose to spend your time here, and I’m thankful every time you press play.
At the end of the day, I approach each episode with humility, curiosity, and appreciation—for the guests who trust me with their stories, and for the listeners who continue to take the journey with me.
