Those Weekend Golf Guys

If you, like millions of us golfers, have problems reading greens, have no idea where the ball is going to move after leaving your putter face, don't despair. There is now an app for that. Golf Scope was designed by a software designer who is also a lousy golfer and this app will read the green for you! We talk to Ryan Engle, the developer, and get the scoop on the scope.

We talk at length to Robert Blumenthall, the creator of Golf Conversations {dot} Com. He is a writer, an avid fan of golf and its personalities, and a lousy golfer. He has interviewed many of the funniest, most famous names in golf like Ernie Els, Ken Venturi, the guy who flies the Snoopy One Blimp and a whole lot more. Our conversations are interesting and hilarious! Enjoy. We sure did.

Introducing Cut Golf. Makers of Tour quality golf balls that you can afford to lose! Tour quality for $20 a dozen? Yes! And we played with them. They're everything they claim to be. We talk with the 2 founders of the company. Also, Euan McIntyre explains his new book "Gregor The Golf Ball" and how this book can help introduce juniors to the game. So much fun in just 44 minutes!

The difference is practice. And Jeff Smith will explain how "good golfers practice until they do it right. Great golfers practice until they can't do it wrong! Listen for some great tips on how to fit in the practice you don't do now without giving up golf time, family time or skipping work. At least not skipping work too often!

So John, the guy who gets to play golf as often as he wants, doesn't even take his clubs on vacation but hangs out on the beach all week instead. Jeff, the PGA Professional who works on a golf course but doesn't play for fun often, takes 10 days in Scotland doing nothing but playing golf. Who had more fun? And who got the better tan? You listen, then decide.

It's vacation time for the Golf Guys so we're off to play some golf. John made it up to Maine to play on Donald Ross's first ever course in the U.S. while Jeff heads off to Scotland to play the hallowed grounds of ST. Andrews, among others. This episode from last year is worth hearing again. Yes! It's The Best (that we could find) Of Those Weekend Golf Guys

For those of us who haven't the slightest idea where that ball is going to go once it leaves the putter face there is help! Pete Charleston, CEO of GolfLogix has a brand new app that will read the green for you. No more guessing left or right? Uphill or downhill? He joins us to talk putting and how this app can reduce, if not eliminate, 3 putts. We also talk about Phil Mickelson's latest rules faux pas and a whole lot more. Fun, funny and entertaining. That's us in a nutshell.

This sound familiar? Yet another green in regulation missed. That chip you need to replace what should have been your first putt needs to get close if you have any chance of making par. Well, you're in luck. Jeff Smith has some nifty tips to make sure that chip gets close enough. Maybe it will even check up! Yeah, we're talking spin here people. Listen to Jeff and amaze the rest of your foursome next time. Also, want to get a $10,000 Breitling Navitimer watch? No problem. We'll tell you how and where in this very episode. More fun, funny and totally entertaining Golf Talk.

We've all heard the cliches... keep it under the wind, finish high, keep your head down, never up never in etc. Jeff Smith explains just how wrong most of this advice is and what it's doing to screw up your game, and of course, how to do it right. Better scores when you learn what advice to just ignore!

Sometimes, or so it is rumored, golfers play for money; friendly wagers among friends. We discuss a few forms those games take including Wolf (and Jeff describes very well how to play and how to win at it!) and a brand new game, Vegas Golf. We talk to the inventor, Wayne Cimperman on how to play this cool, novel, and very fun game on the course.
