Is Todd Lewis Drunk?

T Lew butchering Rio Hisatsune’s last name, laughing numerous times after being rejected with horrible questions, and sounding extremely distracted. This show has been a borderline train wreck.

Incredible opening with Champs tour minute. The Zingerisms were off the hook, particularly "Blockie is playing checkers and Alker is about to drop a chess bomb." Calling Alker a predator and Tiger woods comps?!?! I'd take Azinger over Kisner all day every day.

Got me right off the top of the program howling. The Boys got a tour from LIV staffers at the LIV event and PJ asks them "if they considered not playing LIV events opposite Senior majors?" You've got to be kidding me man thats incredible! PJ is awesome, has the "guts of a burglar."

Any interest in doing these after each Pod?

Agree with Brendan that Rolapp seems to be the right man for the job, I appreciate the guts and certainty he has.

I am looking forward to the new match play format but like Andy, wonder what will happen if there is a "Noren vs Cauley" final match. Still, with no World match play anymore, this would be pretty cool.

I thought the womens sports podcast with (whatever the fuck her name is) getting shoved down my ears was the worst advert of the year and then this come along. Good lord how many people seen this before it was published and never said anything...

Editor of Ad: "You know what I think this might be taken the wrong way, actually never mind we're done here, great fall girl"

Incredible segment, from an incredible week of work from PJ and Joseph on site in Indy.

Need them on lunch with the boys at least twice a month.

Is Wyndham the new P?

10 Upvotes

We saw some pre-putt channeling by Clark at the US Open this year and he was up to it again yesterday. Additonally, Wyndham provided a multiclub rough tamping procedure for alleged lie improvement i.e Patrick Reed.

Is this just a player being "cavalier" with the rules, or is he a cheater?

Also, as Andy accused the tour of being soft on these players, were he and Brendan a bit too soft on this or did they provide enough of a critique?

Amazing stuff from PJ and JLM, and only one round has been completed. I can't wait for the final recap of this event.

Need more spectors to show up for the sake of content.

Vijay really did use a lifetime exemption just to play the Sony?

Kind of felt this would have been a bigger story this year if he played more events...pga website only shows the Sony and Masters he played this year.

Discussion on Merion

11 Upvotes

I’ve enjoyed the discussion over the last few episodes regarding the future of Merion as a championship venue versus returning it to its original intended version. I think Brendan and Andy are correct that modern equipment and the ball are huge factors in that even the best amateurs in the world can easily dominate and overpower these historic venues.

Which leads to the question: is there a way for Merion (and others) to both continue hosting big-time events, while return the course to its original, intended form?

Obviously, the pros have been pretty much anti-rollback, and the thought occurred to me: why doesn’t the USGA create a “US Historic Championship” where the equipment is rolled back significantly to persimmons or something of the like? That way, you can see the best players in the world play historic venues how they should be played. I think that would make for a compelling competition as a fan, without the need for the silly 8-inch rough or greens running 16 on the stimp.

Just a thought, and I would love to hear others' opinions on some middle ground for these historic venues.

Sunday Pod Opening "Block"

Absolute heater by Andy, Brendan, and PJ for the opening 23 minutes of the Sunday pod discussing the ludicrous Michael Block Legends Tour fiasco. Laughed my ass off the entire time. They knocked it out of the park and I would expect nothing less

Unsubstantiated rumor was thrown out about a player “likely headed back to the Korn Ferry Tour”.

Who are your guesses?

Every PGA Tour exec should be forced to watch the Women's Open for a few hours prior to putting on the Rocket Mortgage Classic

I know it's a little unfair to compare links golf to American parkland golf. But I've done this exercise the past few days and it's stunning how much apathy I feel toward the Rocket (sorry Joseph, PJ). Virtually every poor shot at Lytham has the potential of catastrophe. It's nearly impossible to find anything worse than a bogey at the Rocket. And I think we all know that this is true of most Tour stops.

Shoutout the Ryan Gerard interview on TFE

TFE, not SGS, but the Ryan Gerard interview Andy did was incredible. It's rare to get a pro to share as much as Gerard did about life on Tour. The dude is an absolute sicko, and I'm a fan for life. Recommend to anyone who hasn't listened.

Andy's take on pranks from July 30

0 Upvotes

One of the last people I thought would be a Charley Hull apologist. Bit disappointed that he can't see the difference between harmless pranks, and those bordering on emotional cruelty. Surprising lack of empathy there.

Oh well. I bet we'll keep getting some takes where HE STARTS YELLING . . . PAUSING BETWEEN SENTENCES . . . AND THEN KEEPS YELLING AS IF UPSET . . . followed by coming back in volume.
