What’s better than firing a low round? According to DA and 15-year Tour Caddy Mick Middlemo, almost nothing.

This week on Tales From The Tips, the boys dive into one of golf’s eternal debates: should tournaments reward birdie-fests or brutally tough course setups? From unforgettable PGA Tour memories and caddie stories to the mental grind of final rounds, DA and Mickmo pull back the curtain on what players are really thinking when the pressure is at its highest.

The conversation winds through the historic Colonial Country Club, legendary figures who helped shape the game, and the ever-changing landscape of professional golf. Along the way, they discuss weather impacts, tournament strategy, player preferences, PGA Tour scheduling challenges, and make a few predictions that may or may not age gracefully.

The episode also takes a thoughtful turn as DA and Mick reflect on mental health in professional sports and the recent loss of several respected figures in the sporting world, highlighting the importance of perspective both on and off the golf course.

Whether you're chasing birdies, grinding for pars, or just trying to avoid making double from the middle of the fairway, this episode delivers plenty of laughs, insider stories, and golf insight from two guys who have seen it all.
