40 - Scott Limbaugh on Culture, Competition, and the Soul of Vanderbilt Golf (Part One)

In this episode, Jim sits down with Vanderbilt Men’s Golf Head Coach Scott Limbaugh for an in-depth discussion on his journey into coaching, his competitive mindset, and the 'soul' he's helped bring to Vanderbilt. Part one of this two-part episode explores Limbaugh’s roots in Childersburg, Alabama, his early playing days, and how he transitioned into coaching.

Coach Limbaugh shares his experience as an assistant coach at Alabama, where he played a key role in recruiting Justin Thomas. He dives into the mentality and work ethic that set Thomas apart, as well as the recruiting philosophies that helped shape Alabama’s national title teams.

The episode also covers Limbaugh’s pursuit of the Vanderbilt head coaching job and how he helped transform the Commodores into an SEC powerhouse. He explains the importance of culture, accountability, and competitiveness in building a sustainable winning program.

In Angle of Attack with Andrew Lewis, Jim and Andrew discuss the pros and cons of high-school golf. They discuss both how an elite player can benefit from high-school golf and also the reasons why a golfer might want to avoid high-school golf altogether.

At the end of the episode, stick around for a creative look into the life and career of 12-time PGA Tour winner Calvin Peete, with a 5-song hip-hop musical from DGBeatlab.
