Phil. What a guy. Today we're looking into what his career may have looked had Tiger never come around. Probably would have been more majors, probably would have been the biggest name in the game, probably wins a US Open, etc. 

First we're going to dive into the numbers and look at how due to Tiger's reign, Phil has the worst stats on converting wins from top 3 finishes in majors of any player to win more than 2 majors. Second, we will talk about how the psychological effect of being number 2 for so long as well as the built up scar tissue from not being able to convert on majors early in your career creates for a ton of mental baggage. And lastly, we will dive into how it is reasonable to assume that Phil's underachievement on the course has led to the LIV tour as this is all too similar to its other major hitter, Greg Norman.

Thanks for joining us for another History w Henry episode. I hope everyone enjoys and don't hesitate to get in touch w us at the links below.

This one got spicy. We start with a harmless chat about the DERT (what's we are currently drinking, eating, reading, and thinking) and then we go in.

We talk about LIV and why its gotten better, what the PGATour has as leverage to combat LIV, and why overtime it's hard to see LIV not working pretty well.

The end of the episode went hard on a chat about Phi; being the highest paid player in golf so be sure to stick around for that.

Thanks for the listen as always. We truly appreciate the support.

Cheers,

From caddying at Winged Foot as a kid to starting a niche clothing brand called BDraddy, the game is embedded into the life Billy lives today. 

In this episode: 

We discuss his early years exiting Boston University, entering the workforce, and the factors at play during that phase of life. Eventually we briefly cover the product(s) he and the team work so hard to put out into the market. Lastly, brotherhood- a central theme in BDraddy's Mission, Vision, and Values. And in true Tie fashion, we finish with some coffee talk because... it simply had to be done. 

Like anyone at the top of their game, the final outcome is so simple that it looks to have been easy. The hours of iteration, though, is what we never see... but makes it so gratifying to wear. 

As we move into the future, we look forward to cover more of Billy's story- that of Bdraddy- and the rest of Summit's commitment to the amateur game, as well as the professional one. 

Cheers,

DERT, banter, golf chat, non golf chat, a healthy dose of absurdity, just your standard MBM here at The Tie.

Today I'm joined by Jubal Early, our long lost third member of The Tie to talk about  the year that was with the major championships and why a great lineup of courses like we had this year unsurprisingly led to a great list of champions and perennial contenders. 

We also preview a bit of what's to come at next year's majors with another great lineup of golf  courses.

Many thanks as always for the love and please don't hesitate to contact us through the links below!

Hello everyone- Back again with some golf course architecture, construction, and design talk today with Ben Hillard! 

Ben has been on the run of a lifetime working with Gil Hanse, Jim Wagner, & bits and pieces of the caveman team to restore, build, and renew some of America's most significant golf courses. And with no intention of stopping, we discuss the factors at play in earning a career in this space. 

It's hard work- with a moving office- and with a family, it has given Ben a focus that propelled him from his early days to where he is now having a heavier hand in design. 

Beyond the grind- there are many sunrises and sunsets on beautiful bits of land. Ben has the outlet to create and iterate with good friends and colleagues, to experience different parts of the world with his family, and the building skillset to run the show should he choose. 

Enjoy the episode and hit us with questions, comments, and suggestions for guests. 

Cheers,

Some real insight out of this one into the golf course, what it is like to go through final qualifying for the open, especially on a year when the final prize is so coveted, playing with the pros for the first time, and much more.

St. Andrews has a history of seeing amateurs play well so it was fun to hear Barclay's take on why he thinks that is and what he is learning from the players in practice rounds to make a run at carrying on that tradition.

When I say friend of the tie, I mean it. I hope after listening to this episode you will be screaming at the TV with me when Barclay appears on it.

Cheers,

The event of the year? The decade? The century? Regardless, it's a big one, and today we bring the energy to portray our excitement for a huge week.

DERT(what we are currently drinking, eating, reading, and thinking) first. And then, a nice chat about what we are most looking forward to from an architectural, cultural, and competitive standpoint for the week.

As always, thanks for the love.

Big LIV chat. Andy and I jump in headfirst and talk all about how we have gotten to where we are at with LIV, what the rest of this season could hold, PGA tour implications, player interviews and pressers, and much much more.

I think everyone is enthralled with this tour right now and there is so much to talk about. Enjoyed having Andy on to get some of his thoughts on the tour and how we should think about what it means for the game. Hope you enjoy!

Cheers,

Happy 4th and happy mudball monday, Tie Friends! 

We have a fun one for you today where we each select 4 of our favorite holes in the USA that sum to 1776 yards. A little stop at the turn for some quintessential American turn house snacks, and of course plenty of healthy banter.

As always, we hit the DERT, and give an update on what we have coming for the rest of the summer. 

Cheers,

Welcome to The Tie Summer Amateur presented by our friends at BDraddy.

The idea is to show you all an inside view into Amateur golf through a deeper look into what goes on at some of the summer's biggest events. 

Each episode will feature a chat between Walker and Henry about the golf course, the local area, and more before bringing on a guest from each tournament who had a big week.

This week were talking about the Northeast Amateur at famed Wannamoisett Country Club in Providence, Rhode Island. Walker and Henry chat about the golf course, why this is such a great tournament that is top of every amateur's schedule, what makes Wannamoisett great and unique, and of course a bit of chat about Providence, the food scene there, and what makes it a great place to visit. In the back half of the episode we bring on now back to back NEAM champion Dylan Menante to hear about his record breaking performance this year. Dylan set the 36, 54, and 72 hole scoring record en route to a 9 stroke win. Safe to say he likes this event.

We hope you all enjoy the series! Let us know what you think through the links below and also check out Dylan and BDraddy!
