The Callaway and Good Good fallout continues — and this week things get even more interesting.

On Episode 396 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast, Matt, Joe, Jeremy, and Dan dig into the latest developments surrounding Callaway and Good Good, including reported personnel changes, the reaction across golf social media, and whether the online outrage actually reflects what everyday golfers think. Matt also gives his perspective while making one thing very clear: he works for Callaway, but his opinions on the podcast are his own. 

Then there are the LIV Golf rumors. The guys react to speculation about financial trouble, bankruptcy, and the idea of players potentially being compensated with equity in a future version of LIV. 

Also on the show: Scottie Scheffler's win at East Lake and the Player of the Year debate, the latest Presidents Cup captain's picks, questionable MyGolfSpy wedge rankings, escalating Las Vegas golf prices, the current condition of Coyote Springs, and a look at the YouTube Golf Tournament episode filmed at Rams Hill.

And, as usual, the live chat takes the show in a few directions nobody planned.

TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:
- Callaway and Good Good fallout continues
- Personnel changes following the Good Good controversy
- Is social media exaggerating the Callaway backlash?
- LIV Golf bankruptcy and player-equity rumors
- MyGolfSpy's 2026 wedge rankings
- Scottie Scheffler wins at East Lake
- Player of the Year debate
- Coyote Springs course-condition report
- Shadow Creek and Wynn golf pricing
- Presidents Cup picks and Team USA apparel

With Dad (Matt) calling in from the road and Jeremy traveling the globe, Joe and Dan take the wheel for a marathon 3-hour episode.

• We uncover the truth behind mass-produced Scotty Cameron putters and why tour pros often play with painted shafts to match marketing campaigns. 
• Eric defends his hot take on why he refuses to go on a Bandon Dunes golf trip, while sharing an incredible story about his time at the historic Chicago Golf Club.

Welcome back to another episode of The Chasing Daylight Podcast!

Today, Matt sits down for an exciting interview with Harry Arnett, the founder of the rapidly growing lifestyle and apparel brand, Municipal. After a legendary career navigating the golf equipment space, Harry took a leap of faith to build a brand meant for the modern, active lifestyle. 

Harry details his fascinating journey, from starting out in sports radio while making $8 an hour to leading marketing powerhouses at TaylorMade and Callaway. We dive deep into the philosophy of Municipal's "sport utility aesthetic," what it’s like co-founding a company with Mark Wahlberg, and why golfers need gear that performs just as well on a hike or in the gym as it does on the course. 

In this episode, we cover:
- Harry’s early career transition from sports radio to becoming a leading marketing mind at TaylorMade and Callaway. 
- The exact moment Harry decided to leave his comfortable position in golf to bet on himself and launch Municipal in 2019. 
- How Municipal was built to support a modern, multi-hyphenate life rather than just fitting the traditional "golf aesthetic". 
- The success of Municipal athletes on tour, including Wyndham Clark's back-to-back U.S. Open victories while wearing the gear. 
- Harry's thoughts on the current landscape of golf content creators and the importance of unique storytelling. 
- Behind-the-scenes insights into working alongside co-founders Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson.

Join Matt on this episode of The Chasing Daylight Podcast as he sits down with Jackson Davison and Mike Vriezema, the co-founders of Xchange Golf. 

They dive deep into their revolutionary new putter shaft, the XG1, which allows golfers to quickly swap out grips and handles without ever having to change the putter head. Whether you are a club fitter or a gear tinkerer, you won't want to miss this conversation about prioritizing feel and unlocking your best putting stroke. 

Episode Highlights:

• Jackson and Mike's backgrounds in golf instruction, club fitting, and mechanical engineering. 
• The origin story of how Xchange Golf was sparked by a 10-year-old idea about the costs and risks of regripping a putter. 
• The process of taking prototypes from 3D printing to full USGA compliance. 
• The critical importance of "feel" and visual comfort when standing over a putt. 
• How the quick-change grip system solves major pain points in the putter fitting process. 
• Addressing the skeptics: why the XG1 maintains swing weight and why you won't feel the joint in the shaft. 
• A breakdown of Xchange Golf's pricing, including the Discovery and Ultimate Discovery Packs
