Full Send with Christina Kim & Alan Shipnuck

At the end of a momentous year for the Fire Pit Collective, the platform’s primary podcasters—Matt Ginella, Ryan French, Alan Shipnuck and Christina Kim—come together to look back on their favorite moments and look ahead to what’s to come. There are plenty of laughs and lots of insight in this review of the year that was in golf.

Christina and Alan are joined by former LPGA player Jeehae Lee, founder of SportsboxAI, a new app that creates 3-D models of your swing on a cell phone. They discuss how the technology is reshaping swing instruction and relive Jeehae’s LPGA days alongside Christina. A lively discussion about Tiger and Charlie also ensues.

Christina and Alan enthuse about Tiger Woods’s reemergence in the Bahamas and what it means for his future. They also weigh in on the drama at LPGA Q-Series and the lack thereof at the Brooks-Bryson “Match.”

Having just returned from Goat Hill, Alan brings to life the good vibes and great play at the Wishbone Brawl. Christina leads a debate about the taut race between Nelly Korda and J.Y. Ko for LPGA player of the year. And the co-hosts also enthuse about Rory’s nipple-baring tantrum and, more momentously, the single swing by Tiger Woods that melted the Internet.

Christina is grinding at home, gearing up for the final tournament(s) of the season, while Alan struggles to reacclimate to real life after a week at Bandon Dunes. They also touch on the culture clash of Korean-Americans playing in Korea as well as the two books Alan has coming out next year, including his juicy biography of Phil Mickelson.

They also have a spirited discussion about Rory McIlroy’s victory and the new USGA limits on driver length, including a dissection of Phil Mickelson’s disingenuous comments on the topic.

Christina calls in from New Jersey, where she is preparing for this week’s tournament on another Donald Ross gem. Alan winds up riffing on some of the funnier things that have happened to him while reporting stories

With Christina traveling, Alan is joined by guest host Ryan French as they go deep on the dominant American win at the Ryder Cup.

Christina relives her wrong-ball fiasco at the LPGA event in Portland while Alan braces himself for more Euro-centric trash-talking as the Ryder Cup arrives. Ted Lasso talk also ensues.
