how are things?- best video-work-
Vulgar language…..11 seconds into podcast. Disappointing that those who make a living using the spoken word have such an inadequate vocabulary to express themselves in a professional manner without resorting to profanity and vulgar language
Is TC channeling Greg Norman or Peter Malnatii?
Admit it. Everyone would have wanted to hit into group ahead. Kuchar did it.
FYI…CPines is about 4min from my house. note to Scotty; it's in the middle of a residential burb, with no major road access! Parking issues?? Uh huh.
Hope to hear a couple words about Clanton; so psyched to see him playing so well this summer🙌
This epic situation deserved a LIVE pod…you guys should have been shimmying down firepoles to get on the air last night…
you guys get a gold medal for having a right wee giggle. x
Matt Duchar
Follow up: Kuchar goes out this morning and immediately asks for TIO. It's a crime we're not getting live TC/Soly updates off of that 😂😂😂
This pod was so much fun. Maybe a 6 minute emergency pod is needed after this morning.
some people are being over dramatic about Kuchar when in reality it's the slow play up front that people are ignoring.
If turtle pace Aaron Rai plays faster then Kuch finishes well before darkness.
Max Greyserman has some serious Club C collapse vibes going on there, OB with a quad, a 4 putt with a nasty lip out and a 38 on the back 9. Looked like he was playing in the Sedgefield 'A' Flight.
Pretty obvious… from a purity of sport perspective, the Olympics should feature no professional athletes. Tell me any pro in any sport would complain if they weren't allowed to play. As a kid, I used to enjoy watching collegiate athletes compete in bball, etc.
It's just modern-day marketing + $$$ that are driving pro participation. ✌️🌺🤙
Paul Lawrie had a long rant on twitter about Aaron Rai after he played with him at the 2018 Qatar Masters. Said "his behaviour was unacceptable , never ready to play and took forever before ref arrived then all of a sudden he was ready and hitting it in 20 seconds when he was on the clock. Very poor but no surprise".
I think Matt was mostly worried about getting in the top 125. If he bogied or doubled, he would have fallen out of that. Kind of a big deal.
DJ buying a faded Brewers hat to try and give off implications to the random person he’s been a life long fan is abhorrent. We need answers
Loved seeing Mr. Max Homa on the film room and very excited to listen to the pod this week. He always has good insight and an awesome mix of jokes and jabs.
Life imitates art… Kuchar would have won if he used the vertical drop & horizontal tug 😜✌️⛳…

Have Olympic golf like gymnastics. An individual gold and a team gold
LPGA is definitely earned
Did i hear twins? Congrats Soly to you and your wife 🎉
should do the review of the top100 golf magazine course rankings
The best part about these being on video now is watching when DJ is laughing so hard he needs to pull away from the mic
A little Jax Spice before a sesh at Jax Beach @soly?
Did that last summer and projectile vomited almost to the range boat…
