GolfCask - Originals

Ryder Cup Roundup with Coach Brian Bailie, Dr. Mike Grevlos, and Coach Chris George. We dig into why Europe jumped out early (bonded pairings, clutch pace control, role clarity) and why the U.S. tried to be “Europe-lite” instead of America’s best self. We torch the Bethpage setup (soft, slow, wedge-fest, LCP), talk New York crowds (fun until the show became about ducks 🙄), and relive pressure moments (Cam Young’s dagger, Justin Rose’s clinic).

Fixes? Set the course like a major that fits U.S. strengths, stop overfitting to spreadsheets, pair by performance + psychology, bring in elite college coaches as consultants, and weight team selection to the final 3–6 months. Assassins gotta assassinate—just pair the right dogs and let ’em hunt.

This week on Inside the Ropes, we crack into a scrambled mini-golf mystery in Cape May, debut On My Radar—GolfCask’s personal assistant for pours, puffs, and plays—drift into dockside reflections with Lost Whiskey and golf travel wisdom, and close with the bold history of Bottled in Bond. Along the way, we pour out details on Irons & Oak Weekend in Charlottesville (Oct 31–Nov 2) and remind GolfCask Nation why every round, every pour, and every story deserves a place on your radar. Pour Decisions included, of course.

Bottle Share continues at Ragged Branch Distillery in Augusta County, Virginia, with founder Brian Bailie, co-host Bo Hammond, and distiller Alex Toomy.

In this episode, we taste through three pours that tell the Ragged Branch story:

• Signature Bourbon – clean, balanced, the “bourbon-drinker’s bourbon.”

• 1820 Bumgardner Revival – a historic Augusta County recipe resurrected from family archives.

• Cowboy Cut Barrel Proof – bold, wheated, and unforgettable.

Along the way, you’ll hear stories of Bootleg the shop dog, Augusta County’s whiskey roots, and why Ragged Branch insists on grain-to-glass integrity.

Golf, whiskey, cigars — and the stories that make them worth chasing.

This week we chased lightning with Pappy, proving bourbon hunting is more about the story than the shelf. We kicked back in the leather chair and reminded ourselves that reflection, not repetition, is what makes golf easier. We laughed at cigar bar politics in Wisconsin—because nothing says ‘freedom’ like tobacco and leather chairs. And finally, we asked if whiskey can save the world, discovering that maybe it won’t—but it sure makes conversation, community, and reflection a whole lot richer.

Inside the ropes, it’s never just golf swings and bottle chases—it’s about slowing down, sharing stories, and finding meaning in the rituals we love.

In this episode, GolfCask founder Brian Bailie sits down with Alex Toomy of Ragged Branch Distillery and co-host Bo Hammond to uncover the origins of one of Virginia’s most authentic whiskey makers.From the 2008 economic downturn and late-night ideas in a horse barn, to mentorship under legendary distillers and the chaotic first mash that blew its lid—this is the unfiltered, hands-on story of how Ragged Branch came to life.Alex shares how the team built a true grain-to-glass operation, why limestone water and Augusta County farmland are central to their whiskey, and what it means to keep control of every step—grains, barrels, and cattle feed included.This is Part 1 of the Ragged Branch journey: a story of grit, timing, and a dream to make Virginia’s everyday whiskey.👉 Don’t miss Part 2, where we dive deeper into recipes, signature bottles, and the future of Ragged Branch.👍 Like this video, 🔔 subscribe to GolfCask, and share it with a fellow whiskey lover or golfer who needs to hear this story.✍️ Join Us at https://golfcask.com#golfcask, #raggedbranch, #virginiawhiskey, #whiskeylovers, #bourbonlife, #grainstoglass, #whiskeycommunity, #whiskeytube, #craftwhiskey, #distillerylife, #everypourdastory, #golfandwhiskey, #whiskeyjourney, #whiskeytalk, #bourbonculture
