Speaking of Golf Hosts

	Tom Horan Tom was a veteran of TV and radio in Orando, Florida before moving to Western North Carolina to continue his "Speaking of Golf" golf variety radio program in a beautiful new golf market that reminds him of a budding Orlando in the times before the Golf Channel. Tom is also a long time proponent of the game of golf in many different realms aside from his lengthy list of media credentials and still manages to hit the links at least once a week. Tom has recently completed the Master Club Fitter course and has been awarded the title of Honorary Master Club Fitter. He also has been named to the panel of Course Raters for Golfweek Magazine.
	Chris Cates Chris Cates was known for his rock n' roll golf comedy album "Triple Bogey with 17 Holes to Play" and his other music albums before joining the "Speaking of Golf" team, now he's a regular in the media as well. Chris has an intense love for the game which began while growing up on the famed Donald Ross course Mimosa Hills Country Club in Morganton, NC. Cates produces and performs music all over the world when he's not talking golf or trying to play to his 3 handicap. You may also find him providing entertainment for golfing events around the country.
	Adair Cates Adair Cates is a dynamic motivational speaker and author of the book "Live With Intention: Ten Steps to Living the Life of Your Dreams". Adair, like Chris, also grew up on the links at Mimosa Hills taking lessons from famed pros Joe Cheves and Dan Dobson. Adair brings a different perspective to "Speaking of Golf" and loves impacting the world in a positive way.
	Mrs. Speaking of Golf The lovely Mrs. Speaking of Golf, aka, Sonja was born and raised in the upstate New York area. She graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, spent some time at the Jersey shore, then headed south to Orlando, Florida. While living in Orlando she has worked in advertising, marketing and even done some TV commercials. Sonja says she got hooked on golf when she appeared in a PGA Tour commercial with Sergio Garcia. But it was Tom who “hooked” Sonja and swept her off her feet. Shortly after their wedding, Tom convinced her to leave Orlando behind and move to the Asheville area in 2004. Good bye city life, Asheville we are here!
