  • 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
