As we are in the season where there isn't too much dry powder to discuss in the golf world, we instead are dipping into some random concepts and topics that we have kicked around throughout the year to dive into.
Today's arbitrary topic of conversation is what is most important to a US Open test, and what are the layers of testing that a US Open venue poses to a player? From the most important to least important elements of a US Open test that a player has ton conquer to be successful, we are here to break it all down. We wrap up the episode discussing what our ideal US Open venues are and why they exude the traits we discuss throughout today's conversation.
Hope you all enjoy this conversation.

Hello, Tie People! We are back for mudball monday and today we are talking about new builds and how we look at how they may age based on only one or two early plays of the golf course. We are in a some sort of a renaissance of new construction of golf courses and it is hard to predict within reason which of these courses may be ones that stand the test of time to become some of the world's best, and which ones will lose their shine quickly.
Today, we hope to make that a bit easier on you based on how we think about judging a new build and the things we look for in a course that will really have long term staying power!
Hope you all enjoy this conversation.

We. Are. Back. It was a slow two weeks of content at The Tie podcast, but we are back to a regular cadence with the full recap of Henry's 2 week trip to asia to compete for team USA in The Bridges Cup as well as explore Seoul, Kyoto, and Tokyo.
Today you can expect a little bit of golf talk, a lot of food talk, some of what Henry drank in Korea and Japan, and some of what he learned about these 2 cultures.
Hope you all enjoy this conversation.

The Tie season long awards are back once again with awards that fit the way only we would think about how to decide who had the best year's in golf in different categories. Things like:
- The fast shitting dog award: Who came out hot this year and couldn't sustain?
- The Ron Weasley Award: Who reminded us all he or she "is still here and relevant?"
- The Mr. Clean award: Who can we only expect one or two decent performances from on a yearly basis at this point?
All this and more here on Mudball Monday!
Hope you all enjoy this conversation.
