The 19th Hole Golf Show

Ryan Ballengee is back from a pair of amazing trips to play golf in Michigan at Forest Dunes and elsewhere, as well to Sand Valley is Wisconsin. Then Major Ed Pulido joins the conversation to talk about the upcoming Patriot Golf Day, raising money for the Folds of Honor Foundation.

With just hours until the PGA Championship, we discuss who is likely to win the season's final major (for the second-to-last time). We also talk about the changes to Quail Hollow Club, how they're being received and how they might affect the field. Finally, we dig into the big shake-up to golf's calendar.

The 1995 PGA champion (and co-founder of Secret Golf) Steve Elkington joins the show to talk about his run at Riviera, playing with fellow PGA champions at his club, how many beers the Wanamaker holds and looks forward to this year's championship at Quail Hollow. We start the show by offering our deepest sympathies to David Feherty's family on the passing of his eldest son, Shey.

After an incredible finale to the 2017 British Open Championship, Ryan Ballengee looks back at the championship-clinching stretch by Jordan Spieth as an example of why he's the best golfer of his generation. Spieth is a different kind of player that should be appreciated for who he is, not compared to the likes of Nicklaus and Woods.

Then Mike Maher from the Evans Scholars Foundation joins us to talk caddying and its future, the lessons from caddying and how nearly 1,000 kids are going to college through their caddy-to-scholarship program.

On the eve of The Open Championship, multi-time major contestant Clark Burroughs joins us for his usual spot previewing the major championships. We talk through Royal Birkdale as a host, the contenders, the sleepers and the joys of getting up in the middle of the night (or staying up all night) to watch the game's oldest major championship.

After nearly a month away, we're back with a new The 19th Hole Golf Show! We start by talking about Brandel Chamblee's comments and research into anchoring on PGA Tour Champions. Ryan Ballengee proposes a solution to the problem. Then Ryan is joined by Cobra Puma Golf's Global Head of Footwear and Accessories, Grant Knudson, to talk about the innovative footwear coming from his shop and what it's like to work with his team and company staffers.

We preview the 117th U.S. Open with Will Haskett, regular GNN columnist and one of the great voices on PGA Tour Radio on SiriusXM. We talk about Erin Hills and our experience there, as well expectations for it as an Open host. We go through the favorites in the field and assess their chances, as well talk about the potential dark horses that could walk away with the trophy.

We're joined by world No. 9 long driver Landon Gentry as he's competing in the Clash in the Canyon in Mesquite, Nev., which will air June 6 on Golf Channel. Gentry talks us through the highly technical aspects of long drive, how he got involved in the sport and how he manages to perform at such a high level.

On the latest episode, Ryan talks through his reaction to Tiger Woods' arrest on suspicion of DUI and what he hopes for Woods moving forward. On happier topics, the subject of Muirfield Village hosting a May PGA Championship comes up, and it sounds like a good idea.

In our second interview during First Timers' Day at The Players, Brett Stegmaier joins us to talk Sawgrass, his season struggles and trying to escape them, as well the difficulties for players who try to make a schedule and a career after graduating from the Web.com Tour and Web.com Tour Finals.
