  • PGA Tour Board drama, Cutthroat Corner, and Golf Advice

    PGA Tour Board drama, Cutthroat Corner, and Golf Advice
    May 2 2024
    This is an episode that is almost entirely about nothing. But it’s a fun Fri Day show, that begins with an amusing story from Andy about someone needing an “introduction caddie” in the bar at Bandon Dunes. Then they get to the debut of Sun Day Red products, which prompts questions about expensive ball markers and the word “iconic.” They get to more scuttlebutt about the internal battles for PGA Tour board seats, which continues to appear dysfunctional and exhausting. This week's Cutthroat Corner nominee is revealed for THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, where there were some options. They discover the Tour is leveraging the immense power of AI for good, namely creating gambling content on ho-hum fringe pros. The return of Maxfli is also hailed. They close it with some SGS Golf Advice that leads to a lengthy digression on ending the hoopla, celebration, and discussion around holes-in-one.

    Apr 30 2024
    Andy and Brendan dial it up for this first of the month Wednesday episode with movements from the PGA Pro National down in Frisco marking the return of Blockie Season. They offer up a potential new inhabitant of the Uresti Zone as well before getting to the big news that LIV’s finale solo championship is headed to Bolingbrook, site of a rough AJGA experience for Andy in Illinois. How in the world does this happen? It is unserious. Also unserious is the title of this week’s PGA Tour event. In further news on underwhelming venue choices, they also discuss some rumors from the ground at TPC Craig T. Nelson Ranch. Then they get to the reports around the delay of Rory’s return to the PGA Tour PAC and what it says about the current divide and Tour bungling over the past year. They also discuss the jump in ratings for the Zurich. Schedule for the week tries to hone in on who best fits the TPC Summerlin model and the high season for college golf.
