Great work guys on all the content throughout the major championship season. Andy mentions work of Mackenzie & Ebert on rota courses and the multiple instances of their work needing to be redone or corrected after the Open. Would love a deep dive article on that and their work on rota courses.
KVV was a great add to an already great cast.
It’s a great show overall, but it tends to dip when he gets on a soapbox. If Andy weren’t such a curmudgeon and know-it-all, the show would be better.
Porath carries it with the content, insight, and humor. He keeps things grounded, and the show is especially strong when it’s just him with a guest.
Tiger bonks his babysitter and it means nothing about PGA tour or politics. Phil is a creep and it means everything about Covid, politics, and LIV.
I enjoy the lads. With your recent birthday Andy, welcome to team Olds.
