Welcome to Episode 53 of the Fore Golfers Network Podcast!

We launch this week's episode with a Blowing Off Steam segment directed at the ridiculous amount of time it takes for a PGA Tour playoff to begin. After that cathartic moment, we welcome the boss at GolfNewsNet.com, Ryan Ballengee for a wide-ranging conversation on all things golf.

We'll address how he fell in love with the game, remedies for pace of play problems, is Paige Spirinac in the SI Swimsuit edition a positive, and much more!
