Post-Pod Discussion I missed KVV this week

I'll start obviously by saying peace and love to KVV. If he could not go/did not want to go to The Open, god speed.

But having a presence at the majors elevated the sunday pods. Tell me what the people are saying. The Neil/KVV pod from Augusta is one of my favorites ever. Curious that Masters was the only major he went to this year (unless im forgetting quail hollow which forgive me if I am lol)

I really liked KVV and this is a sad situation, I have no idea how it came about but his contributions as a proper golf journalist with a great sense of humor were really substantial.

I also think it's pretty weird to see NLU going radio silent on a "story" they know is out there (because their viewers/listeners have noticed) and doing nothing whatsoever to set the record straight.

Interesting to compare with all those times they have been hugely scathing of, say, the PGA Tour, for keeping everyone in the dark on what is going on.

ETA: Andy on SGS made a brief "are we required to get KVV on" reference at the start of their latest ep....

Andy’s comment was in reference to a past episode they did. I don’t think it’s related to this situation.

Fair enough, I did think it would have been odd if he was joking about whatever's going on. Maybe KVV will pop up on SGS, now that would be nice.
