    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.

    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.
