  • Subpar pod

    Good guests but they lean way too hard into the “golf’s only fun if you’re wasted and blasting music” ideology. Sick of hearing about birdie juice.

  • Let’s All Make It Better

    Hi guys. Just a quick note to help improve your show. Have you considered not using profanity? When you swear, etc., you reduce the credibility of whatever you say. But when you don’t, your words are held with more respect by others. When I hear profanity in this, or any other podcast, it just gets disappointing because profanity is the common denominator that automatically lowers the bar. Why not keep the bar high and maintain what golf is, the game with the highest integrity.

  • Stop with the non-golfer interviews (Riggs is not a golfer)

    Guys, I love your show, but enough with the interviews of the non-golfer, guys you meet at member guests interviews. It’s a golf podcast, so we want to hear interviews with real golfers, coaches (of golf), golf announcers. I don’t care about Riggs, I do t care about former NFL, NBA (except Barkley because his Charles), NHL players who have taken up golf in retirement. Couldn’t care less about some hack like Riggs who is an “influencer”. No criticisms of the show and no disrespect or negativity ... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026 U.S. Amateur Champion Jack Whaley recaps his victory at historic Merion Golf Club
Q: What does this win mean for your upcoming schedule and possibly Augusta next year?
It's huge; it opens doors to major championships like Augusta and Pebble Beach next year, and it gives me credibility and confidence to approach the professional ranks while still finishing my college season.
2026 U.S. Amateur Champion Jack Whaley recaps his victory at historic Merion Golf Club
Q: Can you walk us through the moment on the 13th where you nearly held the putt for the playoff?
I hit a smooth shot with a 54-degree and then chipped to within inches after landing and spinning back; the moment was nerve-wracking but I kept my rhythm and believed I could make the par to force extra holes.
2026 U.S. Amateur Champion Jack Whaley recaps his victory at historic Merion Golf Club
Q: Jack, what was going through your mind as you entered the playoff at Merion?
I knew I could just focus on solid shots and give myself a chance; the key was staying in the moment and trusting the process, especially with a tough opponent and a course that can bite back.
Taylor Twellman returns to talk being an analyst for the World Cup, finishing 8th at the American Century Championship and guest hosting the Today Show
Q: How did hosting the Today Show come about for you?
I started as a contributor during the World Cup and then they offered me the chance to host the third hour; it felt like a totally different, TV-centric experience and I enjoyed the pace and the audience.
2004 Champion Golfer of the Year Todd Hamilton breaks down his victory at Royal Troon and we preview this year's Open Championship
Q: What memory stands out about the nerves going into the final round?
Hamilton noted that the leaderboard was stacked with major players, but he focused on his game plan and trusted his approach, gradually letting the nerves fade as he executed his strategy.
