Gaming with Gorts and Guests

We gave the East Lake course (pin setting 4) a try--this particular pin setting was especially challenging. Along the way, we discussed some current events, shows we've been watching--Great British Baking Show, The Mandalorian, and others--and spend way too much time discussing the nuances of Alexa's fart board algorithm. There's even a special AMSR segment, if you like that sort of thing. 

Enjoy!

The show starts as Max and Tom play "Descenders," a mountain  bike racing game. After that Chris and Scott join them for a round of PGA Tour 2K21--a four-ball match play contest that comes down to the 18th hole. 

Discussions include current TV shows such as "Ted Lasso," "Teenage Bounty Hunters," and "The Boys;" also which MLB rule changes might catch on when they are able to return to normal play. 

In this episode, Tom and Jackson play a match play round at Augusta National. They also discuss current events, and their thoughts on the metric system. 

We start with a round of match play at St. Andrews followed by a tense round of Skins. 

Max, Chris, and Tom play PGA Tour 2K21. 

Chris and Tom play PGA Tour 2k21 with Bobby and Ted while discussing various topics including tips for playing the game, how much we enjoy the course designer feature, and what we think about the Lionel Messi rumors. 

If you're curious about the origin of our cover art, this clip explains it all. The conversation took place while we were playing The Golf Club 2019, so you'll hear some game sounds, comments about the game, and a reaction to sinking a putt, interspersed with the story. Enjoy. 

PGA Tour 2k21 was just released the day before we got together online to play. In addition to discussing the game, and comparing it to the previous version, we cover topics such as: why we enjoy Apple TV's "Ted Lasso" so much, the relative costs and benefits of golf courses as public amenities, baseball news, and Max's upcoming trip to San Francisco.
