S1E11: How Stanford Golf Stays on a Championship Course (feat. Anne Walker and Conrad Ray)

How often does anyone get an inside look at one of the most successful collegiate athletic programs in the world? Usually the first thing that comes to mind when we hear a question like this is a powerhouse football or basketball program… but this time, it’s golf. In today’s episode, Derek sits down with Anne Walker and Conrad Ray, the long-time head coaches of Stanford’s women’s and men’s golf teams. Together, they’ve built dynasties on The Farm – together racking up five national championships and nearly 70 All-Americans over the past two decades. From recruiting in the NIL era to managing superstars both on and off the course, Anne and Conrad share what it takes to sustain excellence year after year – and reveal how much golf they actually plan to play in retirement (spoiler: it’s not exactly what you might think!).
