After an incredible Open Championship weekend, we're joined by an incredible guest. Not only is Casey Bannon a gifted storyteller and golf aficionado, but also an assistant editor at one of golf's hottest magazines, The Golfer's Journal (TGJ). We talk all about the Open Championship, LIV golf, and dive into a few fascinating stories from Casey's time at TGJ. This was an all-time episode! 

With a high quality quarterly golf publication as its foundation, The Golfer's Journal is a brand that speaks to and connects golf's most passionate players. TGJ hosts members at an ever-expanding event schedule ranging from the world's top courses to the neighborhood municipal track. Digital content offerings, podcasts, newsletters and merchandise round out a full experience for members, who have dubbed themselves the Broken Tee Society. https://www.golfersjournal.com/

Jake Hutt is a former college hockey player who is currently a PGA teaching professional and co-founder of Dryvebox. He also makes really fun golf content that combines music and golf instruction and is exploding on social media (we're talking viral!). We had an absolute blast discussing the Dryvebox origin story, how he develops his golf content, and his pick for this week's Open Championship. Jake is here to "help you suck less at golf" and it starts with listening to this episode!

Andrew Haynes is one of the most interesting voices we've heard from so far on this podcast. As creative director for Fairgame Golf, Andrew brings a unique perspective on everything brand, design, and creative in today's ever-changing golf world. We covered a wide-range of topics including fashion and style on the golf course, what it means to build a brand and identity as a company, and what it's like working with 2013 Masters Champion Adam Scott. This is one of our favorite episodes!

FAIRGAME is a new voice in the game of golf designed to make golf a more seamless and effortless experience so you can focus more on the good stuff - enjoying your round and spending quality time with your crew. Currently, FAIRGAME includes podcast episodes hosted by Andrew Haynes and Champion Golfer Adam Scott, a collection of "Swing Thoughts" videos where Adam Scott hits the range with golfers at every level to smack a few balls and chat, and is building a "digital clubhouse" app designed for all golfers coming soon. https://www.fairgamegolf.com/

For Jonathan Kantor and Joe Green, finding the right golf ball to play was both confusing and unrelatable. The more they searched for answers, the more lost they became. On their journey to understand it all, Uncommon Golf was born. We sat down with Jonathan (Founder) and Joe (Product Director) to talk about Uncommon Golf, a golf ball company focused on self-expression and the love of the game. We dive into the vast golf ball market, what it has been like running a golf ball brand during COVID, and why they think a ball designed for the weekend warrior will win. Not only are the golf ball designs super cool, but also Jonathan and Joe have an awesome perspective on making the sport enjoyable for the everyday golfer.

Uncommon Golf is on a mission to create a game-changing golf ball brand. The company currently produces two golf ball models, the 55 and the 33. They also offer accessories for the everyday golfer. https://uncommon.golf/

If money wasn't an issue, what does your dream golf life look like? Where would you retire? Where would you play? Would you join a country club? Would you buy an at-home simulator? The Tossing Clubs boys share their ideal golf set-ups, both at home and on the course, debate joining a country club, and much more. 

Friday night musings after the second round of the 2022 US Open. The Tossing Clubs crew take a look at the jam-packed leaderboard and make predictions on who will take the trophy home on Sunday. Also, the guys reflect on the growth of the podcast half way through the year and laugh about trolls on TikTok. Aaron is out this week, but Frank and Zach continue the banter. Thanks for listening!

The current state of golf is history book level, front page fascinating right now. LIV Golf and all its controversy has arrived and is challenging everything we know about the PGA Tour. We debate golf's newest league including this week's tournament in London, the new-look golf broadcast, what it means for the future of golf, and the morality of it all! Also, the guys got to play a couple rounds at private clubs in the Bay Area this week so we touch on that too.  

It's been a wild week in the golf world and we're not even half way through! The Tossing Clubs crew share thoughts on last week's Charles Schwab Challenge, preview the upcoming US Women's Open Championship at Pine Needles, and tackle the crazy field at the upcoming LIV Golf event in London. 

Aaron's swing coach Jeff Ponce joins the pod! Jeff is a PGA Member and GolfTEC instructor. Jeff shares some fun stories about attending Augusta National earlier this year to watch the Masters, how he approaches teaching students (including Aaron), and his thoughts on various Bay Area golf courses from TPC Harding Park to The Olympic Club and Lake Merced.
