2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers
Ep. 128 - Teeing Off at Blooms + BIRDIES 2.0
Fore! In this week’s Two Fat Guys Talking Flowers episode, we’re swinging into action with a special live recording from the 2nd Annual Blooms + Birdies Golf Tournament at Normandy Shores Country Club! The event was a hole-in-one, bringing together industry pros for a day of fun, flowers, and philanthropy—all in support of the Society of American Florists' (SAF) Advocacy efforts. With a slice of the golf sales and the incredible backing of over 22 sponsors, Blooms + Birdies chipped in a generous donation to help SAF keep advocating on Capitol Hill.
Join us as our non-golfing hosts, Mike, Mimi, and Joel, get into the swing of things alongside Ryan, who usually golfs but was too busy organizing the event to hit the greens. Fern joins in after he finished his game. Together they corral golfers and sponsors right off the course and onto the mic to share the highlights of the great day. Get ready for Mike’s secret cocktail recipes, fun stories about flowers and golf, and maybe even a whip shot!
