Was Rick not available?
Y’all should have Oscar and AJ on and we can listen to their bullshit stories
It's like being transported to a golf only planet, where everyone there has been hypnotized by their love of golf. Landmand is a vibe 🙌🏼
Way to go, Papa John! You're a great player and great person. So honored to play this sport with you and look forward to seeing you again. Cheers, my friend!
Is your probation up yet?
While I am gutted to hear that Eric is no longer with the company, Kevin seems like a great guy though! New Level irons are world class!! I will NEVER forget the time I called New Level with a question on my irons and Eric, the CEO, answered the phone and was diligent to answer my questions!! Truly an amazing experience, and still to this day the only customer service experience I've had with the owner of a company!! Eric won me over as a lifelong customer that day!! I still have my PF-2s, and I doubt i will ever switch away from New Level! As long as they keep that amazing shape and feel with minimal offset!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tim Clark won the PGA tour proximity to the hole stat 6 times, through Tiger's heyday (by far more than any other player). Tim is one of the most underrated ball strikers in the history of the game, and Royal Montreal is an extremely demanding second shot golf course.
I try to tell them “stay up the left side” rather than “don’t go right”
Such a fun chat with you guys, let's chop it up again soon!
Fling golf, huh? Being the South Carolina state champion of fling golf is like being the king of a sandcastle at a nudist beach-sure, you've got a crown, but everyone else is too busy avoiding awkward eye contact to care. I mean, come on, you’ve reached the pinnacle of a sport that’s essentially what happens when regular golf and lacrosse have a mid-life crisis and buy a motorcycle. And then they find out it only goes 20 mph and still needs a caddy. Winning the state championship in fling golf is like finally being the first person in your Deep South family to dodge the inevitable and not get your cousin pregnant. You’ve broken the cycle, sure, but the bar was so low you practically tripped over it while patting yourself on the back. It’s like graduating from the school of "I Almost Did Something Embarrassing, But This Time I Didn’t"-a minor miracle in a world where expectations are lower than a limbo bar at a snail’s wedding. And let's not forget the other achievements on par with this prestigious title. Remembering not to poop your pants in your special needs class? That's basically the equivalent of scoring a hole-in-one in fling golf, except the trophy is a pair of clean underwear instead of a glorified lacrosse stick. Being the fling golf champion in South Carolina is like being the guy who gets an "A" in shop class for not cutting off his own thumb. Sure, you’ve succeeded, but no one’s putting your face on a Wheaties box anytime soon. It’s the sports equivalent of winning a participation trophy in the Special Olympics and then insisting you should have your own parade. But hey, you’re still a champion, right? You’ve got that title, and no one can take it away from you-except maybe the guy who finishes his tournament round without spilling his beer. So here’s to you, fling golf champion of South Carolina: the Michael Jordan of a game that no one else bothered to play.
Sounds like someone who hasn't won much in life. Why so salty, Hank?? 😂 Maybe before showing your insecurities and bashing something and someone you know nothing about, you should give it a shot, or at least be cool with people doing something different. Sorry you're so mad about other people having a good time and accomplishing something.Maybe you just need a nap.
It had to have been the overcast nature of that day which caused the outcome of that shot. Just imagine if it had been an overly sunny day…
Eric is one of the most charismatic and respectful guys I've ever had the privilege to get to know.
He choked. He knows he choked. That is why he was devastated and could not talk to the media. Bryson didn’t choke at PGA. He got beat. Much easier to stomach.
I met Eric the other day .. what a nice guy.
I believe you can buy putter boy merchandise but must win a golf lad.
Cool interview Sadie!!! Have heard of You so i wanted to watch Your interview 👍 Women can Definitely play with the Men in the Game of Golf!!! Much better than This One by far 🤣🤷♂️ Being born and raised in South Carolina I’m afraid I’ll be pulling for the Gamecocks Tomorrow in the NCAA Championship Tournament🏆 Yet… I Will NOT Be Wishing Your Stanford Team Any Bad Luck!!! Glad You Put Your Dad In Your Foursome 😊✅ That’s even worthy of “Some” Good Luck Wishes😊👍 Hope You Have a Great Tournament!!! Spurs Up☝️ Go Gamecocks!!! ⛳️🏆✅

Love this podcast. My next shot is always going to be the best shot I ever hit. When it's not, the next one will be.
Great podcast. The similarities between life and golf are endless.
Great listen! Can't wait for episode two.
Thanks for listening/watching, Doug! Mark & Nick did a great job!
Incredible episode!
Shipnuck's bashing of Norman, who won 91 golf tournaments, is disgraceful...golf journalists should not call tour winners chokers..
Deadlines...so he just made up half the crap in the book
Firepit collective are 'owned' by the PGAT
Who is Shipnuck trying to destroy this week?
The audiobook is unabridged and excellent! (I opted for the audio specifically because it is unabridged.) This podcast does a great job of summarizing the tale but if you’re a golf fan, regardless of your leaning, it’s worth the time.
Awesome episode!!
Nice watch😊
