April 02 Club Junkie: What are the best fairway woods of 2026? Some awesome putters at the Valero!
What are the best fairway woods of 2026? Well GolfWRX just published their Best Fairway Woods list for this year and I break down who made it and a few who didn't on the show. Out at the Valero Texas Open there are some very interesting putters in some bags being tested. We have to jump in and talk about a few that stood out from Hideki, Marco, and Grillo with some special sauce! Finally, there isn't a ton on the workshop bench this week but it looks like I am going to have to reshaft my brother's set as the heads are flying off!

March 31 Fore Love of Golf: A Chat with Criquet Co-Founder, Billy Nachman
In Episode #46, the guys chat with friend of FLoG, Billy Nachman. Billy was one of the early believers in our show, and we are very grateful for that. Billy isn’t just a sponsor though, he’s a genuinely fun guy and someone we have enjoyed getting to know. His journey and business acumen is both helpful and fun to hear about. Criquet does things a little different and is carving their own path in the golf apparel world, which allows them to stand out. We hope you will enjoy learning more about building a brand, especially one that we are so close with.
