The Tie Podcast

Back to The Tie is the egg man, Andy Johnson to do a "5 things" on this year's US Amateur. 

International players, a motley list of winners, LIV implications (of course), and as always, the the DERT. Andy has some interesting thoughts on the course, the DERT, and the amateur game in general. Check out this conversation between a couple of amateur golf fanatics to get psyched for the Best week in amateur golf!

Cheers,

Today was a good one.

First, Walker is lined by Ben Adelberg from @thebackoftherange to talk about the history, golf course, and the week that was at Exmoor Country Club for the Western Am, and then Henry speaks with Western Amateur Champion, Austin Greaser.

Austin went to the semis of the Western last year before taking it all the way to the finals of the US Amateur which would earn him a spot in this year's Masters and US Open.

Austin is such a humble, good dude and super easy to root for. Check out his story here with us and watch out for him at the US Amateur next week at Ridgewood.

We'll be back to cover that one as well with our final episode of the summer amateur series presented by our friends at BDraddy.


Cheers,

We've talked about cold weather golf, so now we're here to give it back to you all the other way, hot weather golf! 

Being in Texas and Florida currently and having grown up in the Carolinas, The Tie Guys know a thing or two about how to handle golf when its hotter than hell so give us a listen today to find out 6 things we do to still enjoy golf when temperatures are pushing (or far exceeding) the triple digits. 

Thanks of the love as always and we hope you all have been enjoying what we've been bringing to you. Please reach out to let us know how we can be better and also don't forget to show our partners some love  at the links below.

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,

The Tie Guys

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,

The Tie Guys

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.

Cheers,
