Introducing 3 Putt Bogey

3 Putt Bogey is a golf podcast hosted by Chuck Bryant and Adam Pranica, two mid handicappers who are just good enough to know exactly how bad they still are. The name says it all: one great shot, followed immediately by the kind of self-inflicted disaster only a mid-handicap golfer can produce. That's the whole sport, really, and this show lives in that gap.

Every week, Chuck and Adam break down their most recent rounds, dig through the bag, and try to actually get better — which is harder than it sounds when social media serves up an endless, contradictory firehose of tips, drills, and gear you're told you absolutely need. They'll talk about what's actually working, what's total crap, and what happened when they tried it on the course anyway.

Expect gear talk, course recaps, golf movies and video games, rules debates, questionable gambling picks, and a healthy amount of self-inflicted misery, all in service of two guys trying to shave a few strokes off their game and laugh about it along the way.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey everybody, I'm Chuck Bryan of the Stuff You Should
Know podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
And I'm Adam Pranica of The Greatest Generation and Greatest Trek.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
We decided to start a golf comedy podcast because we're
both big golf lovers and we wanted to spread that
joy and it's called Three Putt Bogey.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
It's coming from the perspective of golfers who are sometimes
good enough to hit two great shots in a row,
but almost never good enough to hit three. And a
three-putt bogey is kind of the purest expression of that.
Every golfer knows what that's like.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of the show in a nutshell. Obviously,
we're going to talk a lot about the game of
golf that we love so much, how absurd it is
and how fun it is and how just, you know,
it's vexing and frustrating. But more than anything, just how
much we love the greatest game in the world.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
We love it anyway.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
We're putting these out every Friday morning for your weekend
golf routine. Yeah, Adam, I wouldn't hit a shot the
other day in front of the card girl.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Let's talk about the meltdown a little bit because at
this level, it is so much less about making birdies. Yeah.
And so much more about avoiding doubles and triples.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
It's the curse of where I am right now, which
is truly great shot. truly terrible shot. It's weird how
much it changes from shot to shot at this point.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
This is a show about sharing our experiences on the
golf course and how absurd and funny they can be. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
And, you know, one thing for sure we're going to
do every week is our personal golf journeys, because we
come from a couple of different places. I'm here in
Atlanta playing basically weekly casual rounds with some of my
oldest friends and And shooting like in the low to
mid 90s still.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
And I'm playing a lot of club tournaments in Los Angeles,
which for some reason hasn't managed to take all the
fun out of my game. We're trying to make the
golf podcast we want to see out in the world. Exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
I would listen to this show if I wasn't me.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
And that's what 3 Putt Bogey is.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's 3 Putt Bogey, everybody, out every Friday. You can
find it on the iHeart podcast app or wherever you
get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
So just to just to paint the picture here, you
went to a driving range with a with a golf
club covered in saran wrap and painter's tape. Yes, yes.
Did you take pictures of this?
