Send us a textThe golf equipment rabbit hole runs deep in this laughter-filled episode as the crew shares their latest struggles and triumphs on the course. When Matt reveals he's hitting his driver better than ever while completely losing his iron game, the others commiserate about the perpetual balancing act that is golf improvement.A spirited debate erupts over wedge selection, with Joe passionately defending his 60-degree wedge despite admitting it only produces magic 1% of the time. "That 1% when it works is better than the 99% that failed," he argues, perfectly capturing the optimistic delusion every golfer knows all too well. Meanwhile, others have converted to the 58-degree camp, with testimonials pouring in from listeners who've made the switch.The conversation shifts to the addictive world of online golf equipment buying, with confessions about deleting the Whatnot app to prevent further gear accumulation. "It's a marketplace where you can score some shit if you know your shit," Joe explains, before warning listeners, "But don't do it. But if you want to try and buy stuff you can't get anywhere else, do it. But I suggest not doing it."The crew provides a thoughtful analysis of TGL's inaugural season, offering constructive criticism about how to improve the simulator golf league.

Send us a textThe eternal golf equipment debate takes center stage as Joe abandons his trusted Strokes Gained putter pre tournament, comparing it to putting a misbehaving child in "timeout." This sparks a fascinating conversation about the psychology behind our club choices and when to make changes. Meanwhile, Jeremy delivers perhaps the most shocking equipment news imaginable - his conversion from a die-hard Titleist devotee to a new Callaway driver owner. The team jokes that Jeremy must have "a Titleist serial number engraved on an artery connected to his heart," making this change comparable to a religious conversion. His tournament victory with the new driver suggests that performance ultimately trumps brand loyalty.The discussion evolves into memorable analogies when comparing golf equipment preferences to face wash and Mexican food, culminating in the instant-classic line: "Lab is the menudo of golf." This perfectly captures how equipment choice remains deeply personal despite what others might think.We break down Tiger Woods' devastating Achilles rupture (describing "minimally invasive surgery" as perhaps the kindest description ever of such a brutal injury), preview The Players Championship with odds and sleeper picks, and discuss the surprising restoration of TPC Sawgrass to Pete Dye's original strategic design intent.The VGN Boulder City Municipal tournament recap reveals the challenges of adapting to dormant course conditions, while the upcoming Creator Classic at TPC Sawgrass promises entertainment from golf's content community.
