Golf Nation to Premiere ‘Three Courses’ Presented by Club Wyndham

Shoppable video entertainment network Golf Nation premiered its “Three Courses” series on July 13 on golfnation.com and its Android app, focused on enjoyable on- and off-course activities across America.

Presented by Club Wyndham, Season 1 features hosts Gabi Powel and Hannah Leiner needling each other during entertaining rounds of golf before highlighting local bites to eat and cocktails to drink – the three requisite ingredients for memorable getaways. The golf influencers met as college golf stars, and now the game they love takes them worldwide. “Three Courses” showcases their weekends away, experiencing unique flavors of golf destinations.

Fashionistas Powel and Leiner are golf media celebrities and content producers with large social followings.  The fun banter and healthy competition between the close friends during “Three Courses” represent how golf enriches lives

“Don’t I Know You?” is hosted by Suzy Whaley, President of Golf Nation, former President of the PGA of America and one of only a handful of women to play in a PGA TOUR event. Based on the internationally syndicated 1980s-1990s TV hit “The Newlywed Game,” the first episode features 2023 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Zach and Kim Johnson.

Golf Nation sneak-peeked in December 2022 as a video-on-demand provider of entertaining, commercial-free golf-lifestyle shows. Viewers engage with products featured in shows by clicking on a “buy bar” while enjoying the streaming experience.
