There is not a better golf podcast out there.
By far the best golf podcast out there. Best combo of golf analysis and humor without taking themselves too seriously.
PJ has been a great addition and excited about KVV.
One of my favorite pods, thanks for all the insights and hilarity over the years. The look back at the life and times of JL Lewis ranks right up there.
Relaxing listen
Longtime listener first time writer, so bear with me on typing as I have no interest in fighting. I just want to compliment the 3 of you, for how perfect of a match everyone is. The first few days of Andy’s vacation I was beyond excited too hear a bit more of PJ. That being said I’ve also found myself missing Andy. Brendan as the elder statesman runnning rough shot with PJ in tow has been great though. Thank you for everything !
