Send us a text Episode 217 We are back to a regular show this week, even though Jeremy called in sick. Matt was chatty as ever, talking about his trip to Hawai'i. The new self-proclaimed " Rental Set Magician " did it again on the Big Island, shooting a good score, and it has him opening a vast rabbit hole because the rental set was all Regular Flex, Game Improvement irons! It was a fun talk. Joe got in some last-minute golf this last week as his time away from work, tending to his new little on...

Send us a text EPISODE 216 A good friend of ours, Cliff Harris - Instagram: @clivis.harris , is quite the golf traveler. He's currently in the process of playing the Top 100 Golf Courses You Can Play and America's Greatest Public Courses and has already knocked a ton off the lists. Recently, he made the trip to Bandon Dunes and added all the courses on the property to his list. With Matt on vacation (again) this week, we thought it would be fun to sit down with Cliff and talk about his experienc...

Send us a text EPISODE 215 We held our first Vegas Golf Network MAJOR of the season this past weekend, and once again, Paiute Golf Resort shined like the star it is. And since all three of us tee'd it up in the tournament, we had a little recap about the event. The PGA Tour announced the "NEW" FedEx Cup Fall; we don't know what to call it. Series, Events, whatever. But it's good news and brings some changes to the Fall events that should make it interesting, to say the least, but it's doubtful a...

Send us a text EPISODE 214 Well, that was entertaining, to say the least! The 2023 Masters had it all, slow play, weather delays, a PGA/LIV showdown, and the strangest accumulation of no animosity between the players from both leagues. I'm sure there were a lot of people, present company included, that believed there would be some fireworks. But we're starting to think the drama is more media-driven than anything else. The players were casual, non-combatant, and pretty damn nice regarding their ...

Send us a text EPISODE 213 The Masters is HERE!! We like to do Major Preview shows as much as the rest of the golfing podcast world. For this year's preview show, Trey Sanders joined us to talk about the upcoming Major while Stat Guy is taking a little break from the show (and golf) PGAT/LIV GOLF Drama So how much will there be? That is what I think everyone is thinking. So far, the pressers and conversations that have taken place have been pretty civil. Will that change? Will there be intense d...

If you're not familiar with the brand Canada Goose , you will be after this segment. Eventually, we got to some golf and dove head-first into the news regarding the USGA and their plans to roll the ball back. There's some heated ...

Send us a text Episode 210 We have a quick one for you this week. Matt's headed out of town, and Joe is wiped from his trip, so we powered through a short Sunday night session to keep the show going. The Players was a blast to watch, and while some people may think there wasn't enough drama, we believe watching Scottie Scheffler dissect one of the toughest tests in golf was a joy to watch. He regained the World #1 ranking and is ready to defend his Dell Match Play and Masters Titles over the nex...

The Elevated, err, The DESIGNATED events got an overhaul for 2024, and we broke it down a little bit and gave our opinions on the topic. The Arnold Palmer Invitational was a huge hit over the weekend. And UNLV's very own Kurt Kitayama came away with his first PGA Tour and the biggest win of his worldwide golf tour. Joe is h...

Send us a text EPISODE 208 Thanks, everyone, for tuning in to this week's show. There's a ton of stuff going on in golf, so we had a lot to talk about. LIV Golf returned, and we were not impressed. As golf fans, we all tried to watch the tourney in Mayakoba, but it was just hard to watch. The Honda Classic , however, even with a field of what many people called "nobody's," was damn good. The storylines that the PGA Tour continues to pump out there is something that LIV cannot replicate. At least...

For the first Dedicated/Elevated event, it was pretty good. The Waste(d) crowd always adds a little spice to the event, so this upcoming weekend's tourney at Riviera will, we think, be more telling of how these new tourneys will do going forward.

First up was Kapalua and should the All-Star event for the PGA Tour be such a scoring fest? Does a resort course that the players can destroy justify earning a spot in the event? Or, should the players be more challenged in this limited-field event to start the New Year? Remember, in 2024, this will be the first event of the season!
