Special guest, Ben Baller, joins the podcast this week! Doug and Will dive into Ben's Zen-like approach to constantly reinventing himself, how professional golf can focus on attracting more fans, and betting on the golf course with your boys. Scottie Scheffler and Nelly Korda win AGAIN, and we ask what golf can do to amplify Korda's run and the women's game? The guys offer their picks for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and much more!
