Through Ray’s teachings and the simple, powerful structure of the Golf Compass—Direction, Heart, Truth, Strength, and Center—Evan slowly rebuilds his life.

In Golf and the Long Walk, PGA Professional Blain Bertrand reveals golf as a ceremonial journey—a disciplined, honest, character-shaping path guided by clarity, courage, humility, and wisdom. This book shows you how the fairway becomes a mirror, the round becomes a teacher, and the walk becomes a lifelong companion.

Across cultures and time, human beings have always moved through four essential seasons: beginnings, emotions, challenges, and responsibility. These aren’t abstract ideas. They’re the lived realities that shape every decision, every relationship, every failure, and every breakthrough.

A Veteran’s Path to Balance, Meaning, and Life After Service When the uniform comes off, the mission doesn’t always end. For a lot of us, that’s when things get harder. There’s no formation. No clear orders. No one telling you where you fit anymore. This podcast isn’t therapy. It’s not motivation. And it’s not about fixing you. It’s about orientation. The Four Shields are an old map — used to understand the mind, the body, the emotions, and the meaning we carry. East. South. West. North. And the Center that holds it all together.

Golf in Balance is a podcast about playing golf with clarity, steadiness, and respect for the game.

Golf is treated as a practice—almost a ceremony—where each round becomes an opportunity to stay present, learn from mistakes, and return to center under pressure. For golfers who value discipline, depth, and long-term growth, Golf in Balance offers a steady compass.
