The United States won the Ryder Cup handily this past weekend, with all 12 team members contributing to the resounding victory. Listen to our latest episode to hear why the Ryder Cup is the greatest golf event in the world, who we thought won the weekend at Whistling Straits, and what we thing the 2023 Ryder Cup team might look like.

The gang is all back together for episode 59, discussing the end of season awards from last year, Max Homa's win in the first tournament of the PGA Tour season, and previewing this weekend Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. We also guess correctly on our third consecutive mystery golfer, thanks to some stellar anatomical descriptions. RIP Clegg.

Jim Hartsell, author of 'The Secret Home of Golf: The Authorized History of King-Collins Golf and the Creation of Sweetens Cove', joins us to talk about the book, about Sweetens Cove, and about his love of Scottish Golf. Listen in for a fantastic golf conversation with a man whose passion for the game shines through with every word, and to hear how Sweetens Cove came to be and what makes it a golf paradise for so many!

The FedEx Cup Playoffs are heating up, fans are getting ejected, and ESPN is somehow broadcasting fake football teams. The boys discuss last weeks BMW Championship, check in on the action at Eastlake, talk about how a completely made-up school found itself on ESPN, and go over the latest Ryder Cup Team predictions. We also dive deep into the latest Bryson DeChambeau drama and whether or not things have gotten out of hand.

Fall is quickly approaching, so what better time to draft our favorite things about Fall. Spoiler alert: Football is still the best thing about Fall.

Ep. 55 might be our best yet! Listen in to hear how much money we made off of the Tony Finau win, who we're picking this week at the BMW Championship, and what we think of the US Team leading up to the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. We also talk about the AIG Women's Open finish, discuss our plan to sponsor JR Smith on the NC A&T Golf Team, finally get a mystery golfer right, and break down Tony Finau's post-victory McDonald's meal.

The boys went down to Greensboro for the Wyndham Championship and made sure to book a hotel directly beside a Hooters. We played The Cardinal by Dye on Wednesday, and made sure to check out all of the action at Sedgefield on Thursday. 

Listen in as we talk with Andre, the man behind Crazycanuck1985, a golf course designer for the PGA Tour 2k21 Video Game.
