  • It’s fine

    Usually fun podcast talking about funny things but mostly just how rich, hoe much money they gamble and entitled they are. Usually with mediocre guests.

    There’s a lot out there but this could the best golf pod out there. Really hits the heart strings to the private golf realm and everything that goes with it. Chad and Wells are both very well spoken or their editor is under paid.
