  • You hate to see it.

    Not a fan of the show rebranding and now pure focus on gambling. You’ve ruined what was once a good product. Have to unfollow. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

  • New Format is a Cliché

    Just started listening to the first cut this season because it was different than than the other golf betting podcast. Now they changed the format, they are just like the other dozen sports betting podcasts.

    Wish you all the luck but I already have a few golf betting shows I listen to regularly and don’t have time for more of this format.

  • Why change?

    The recent host changes are confusing. Why change a formula that was working? The old team and format was great — my favorite golf podcast. Nothing against the new guys but, collectively, they’ve got zero chemistry. Plus, they’re all over the map, trying too hard to yuck it up with hot takes instead of hard data and facts. It now sounds like every other golf podcast out there. Generic “blah, blah, blah” in my best radio voice. This is what happens when accounting suits overrule creatives and the... more

Q: What is the state of the union on Patrick Cantlay at this point?

Q: How do you assess this golf course?
I'm definitely looking for a little bit of history here, but it's still tee to green. You got to be good on approach, downgrading distance, but in favor of accuracy, but really just focusing on the approach play, going to lean into the recent form a little bit.

Q: Is there any ownership number that would scare you away from playing Scottie this week?
Once you start getting over 30% of any golfer in any full field, it's probably too much.
