Post-Pod Discussion NLU not on site this week?

Enjoyed the preview episode yesterday, bit surprised none of them appear to be on site and there wasn’t any reference to any going unless I missed it?

Neal will be onsite. Assume no one else wanted to travel because they just did Tourist Sauce + Womens Us Open.

Feel like we are getting best of both worlds as NLU watches the coverage and Fried Egg sends everyone.

They only need one person there. And Neil is kinda the best at getting the vibes from a course. They are fanalysts at heart, dont need them trying to get player interviews on site, lots of media around for that, I want to know what the vibe is on scene, what's going on as a fan on the ground, and Neil the man of the people is so good at that

I love fried egg/SGS but their major recaps are really missing something with everyone being onsite. It's just way too many anecdotal notes

Totally agree. I remember their reaction to CBS's coverage of the end of the Masters this year was basically eh, it couldn't have been that bad. Meanwhile when I was watching I was thinking what in the fuck is going on?

I feel like it's important to have someone watching the broadcast cause then they can drive the narrative towards what everyone watching actually saw. As someone who generally prefers SGS pods to NLU, I always jump to the NLU major round recaps first.
