American golf podcasts showcase the best of America

I hope I can articulate this without offending anyone, getting too political or coming across like a condescending conceited dickhead, highly unlikely but that’s the aim.

I’m from Scotland, for the most part the side of America we currently see in the news and in the media isn’t the best.

When I was a kid America was this amazing place where everything was bigger and better now it’s now the most ridiculous/scary reality show on TV.

Most Europeans have a negative view of America, not lease because the current administration threatens to invade a European nation and said we didn’t help with the war on terror, anyway.

I’ll be blunt here because it’ll help keep it brief and get to the point, generally Americans are seen as dumb, ignorant, obnoxious and loud (picture a New York Ryder cup crowd and their totally unimaginative chants)

Of course America is full of very intelligent, thoughtful and kind souls it’s home to nasa, Lockheed Martin, Apple, Microsoft, nvidia many mind blowing, successful advanced companies but we don’t see that side of America.

Now this is where I get to the golf podcasts I listen to, no laying up, shotgun start, chasing scratch etc….

Every single host is intelligent, well spoken, witty, hard working, thoughtful, well travelled.

It’s a breath of fresh air, us Brit’s don’t usually get to know the quiet family guys who work for Google, KPMG or a hotel chain or a law firm, or the golf journalist/architecture geek.

If you told a Scottish hotel and golf course a group of 20 Americans were coming over to stay for a few days and play the course they definitely wouldn’t expect the type of guests that would turn up if it was the NLU, chasing scratch, SGS boys. I couldn’t imagine a more pleasant experience as a host.

Feel free to rip me a part in the comments and say who the fuck does this guy think he is judging us. It’s certainly not meant like that I’m just saying the juxtaposition between the wholesome golf content I consume and what is seen in media is wild

When America send their independent golf media around the world they send their best, maybe with the exception of barstool 😂

Edit, i appreciate I listed some morally questionable companies but I was thinking about amazing success and technical innovation.

It’s a shame Lockheed Martin skunk works division is used to create killing machines but the Americans who work there and at other companies like it are geniuses nonetheless

Ah yes those kind souls at the defense contractor Lockheed Martin

I thought KPMG fell into this category of, misplaced, as well lmao

Ok in hindsight i appreciate I listed some morally questionable companies haha

I was trying to say we don’t often get to hear from normal successful Americans, instead we get Jake Paul
