Episodes
Two truths can exist at once: golf is thriving, and some of its boldest experiments still can’t find the right stage. We start the year by proving why the local game matters most—new energy in the Vegas Golf Network, a private Facebook group where real debates live, and our fresh “Joker Low Net” format that rewards players who go low! We also welcomed Relic Body Arts as a sponsor and spun up live giveaways because com...
A Starlink meltdown, two missing Terriliums, and the cleanest long-neck builds you’ve seen—this one is part comedy of errors, part masterclass in the art of putters. We sit down with David Trett of Jet Putters to trace his unlikely route from college basketball to Dallas golf, where resort events, caddie loops, and indoor fitting bays turned into a crash course on performance gear and player psychology. Along the way,...
Merry Christma-Kwanza-Kah! In this special holiday "spectacular," Matt, Dan, and Jeremy are joined by Joe (briefly!) and a surprise appearance by Greenley to talk through the latest chaos in the world of professional golf and some major personal news.
The guys dive deep into the massive rumors surrounding Brooks Koepka potentially leaving LIV Golf, the financial hurdles of a $100 million sign-on bonus, and w...
Real talk for real golfers.
In this episode of the Chasing Daylight Podcast, Matt, Joe, and the gang celebrate a major milestone—hitting 800 subscribers on YouTube—and dive deep into the current state of the golf world, both on and off the course.
Inside This Episode:

In this episode, Matt sits down with "Putting Guru" Preston Combs, owner of Preston’s Putting, for a deep dive into the art and science of rolling the rock. Whether you are a gear junkie obsessed with the latest Zero Torque putters or a player struggling to read greens, this conversation covers it all. Preston debunks the myths about AimPoint, explains how to properly test a putter before buying it, and take...
In Episode 355, the guys dive into a massive gear and instruction download. Matt shares the details of his recent in-person putting lesson with highly regarded coach Preston Combs. From realizing he was trying to "hit an 8-iron 160 yards" with his putter to fixing his posture and tempo, Matt gets a "snap of reality" about his flat-stick game.
The conversation then shifts to bucket list golf, as the ...
Welcome to Episode 354 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast! After a slightly chaotic intro, the boys celebrate a major milestone: cracking the Top 53 golf podcasts in the US.
In this week’s gear talk, Matt drops some insider intel on the new Callaway driver (rumored to be the "Quantum") that just hit the USGA conforming list. We break down the new gloss finish, the face technology, and why internet commenters are...
A lot of golf talk happens after we hit “stop.” So we’re opening the door. We’re now recording our post-show hangouts and turning them into subscriber content—because that’s where the unfiltered gear takes, course stories, and real community moments live.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- The Whatnot Golf Selling Playbook and building trust with buyers
- Our review of the massive Garsen Grips Haul (Max, Quad Tour, Miura speci...
Some tee times unlock more than a fairway. They open doors for families fighting through the longest days of their lives. We sat down with Ryan Bush from the Fore Hadley Foundation and our friend Mike of Beautiful Golf Courses to share how a daughter’s story became a force for good—funding CDH research, survivor scholarships, and NICU grants—through an annual charity auction that also happens to deliver the most excit...
The night starts with a new vertical stream and a salute to Veterans Day, then we dive straight into golf that spans continents. Trey just spent three weeks in the Philippines and brought back stories you won’t hear on resort brochures: mountain golf in Bagiuo under a passing typhoon, humid greens that refuse to speed up, and a caddie culture where service comes first—your own cart, your own caddie, and sometimes an e...
A milestone show with real meat on the bone: we toast 350 and dive headfirst into the most interesting week golf has seen in a while. We start on home turf—Boulder Creek running lightning fast, Legacy’s greens turning to velvet, and the eternal enemy of good golf: slow play. With new GPS carts, engaged marshals, and some tough love for multi-tee offenders, we break down how a course can nudge pace back to enjoyable wi...
A Vegas suite hack for twenty bucks, a league finals field that won’t sit still, and a live-commerce ecosystem flirting with gambling mechanics—this one goes deep into how modern golf really works off the scorecard. We pull back the curtain on the VGN finals, why flights and formats matter, and how to reward the golfers who actually show up. If you’ve ever wondered where community ends and chaos begins, this conversat...
Cold mornings, warm greens, and a packed calendar—October turns Vegas into a golfer’s playground and a scheduling puzzle. We’re back after a quick break with stories from the road, a scramble win at Las Vegas National, and a candid look at what it takes to actually play when the weather is perfect and tee sheets are slammed.
We start with why this month feels so good—soft light, sharp greens, hoodie weather t...
The best story in town isn’t a viral ace or a new driver—it’s a public course quietly fixing the stuff that actually changes your round. Recently Matt met with The Legacy’s GM and dug into water constraints, smarter irrigation, fragile overseed choices, and why this winter’s promise is simple and rare: smooth greens you can trust. No spin, no sizzle reel—just the mechanics of better golf, explained in plain language y...
Episode 346
A bruiser turned into a pillow, and Europe didn’t waste it. We open with the shock of Bethpage Black playing soft—rough that let balls sit up, greens that spun back, and a setup that felt more like a putting contest than a pressure cooker. From there, we tackle the uncomfortable stuff: how phones, alcohol, and corporate suites warped the fan energy, why chants felt manufactured, and how a legacy event drift...
Have you ever wondered what really happens inside the ropes of professional golf tournaments? Kurt Kowaluk pulls back the curtain on the caddy experience in this captivating conversation that takes us from his humble beginnings in Sudbury, Canada, to the prestigious fairways of Augusta National.
Kurt's journey into professional caddying began with a serendipitous phone call from his friend David Hearn, l...

Golf trips aren't just about the courses—they're about the journey, the unexpected discoveries, and the stories you'll tell forever. Our recent expedition through America's heartland delivered all this and more as we ventured through South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa to play some of the most talked-about new courses in golf.
The adventure took us from Dakota Dunes, where we attempted (and f...
The battle between season-long excellence and single-tournament dominance takes center stage as we dissect Tommy Fleetwood's Tour Championship victory and what it means for the FedEx Cup format. Should the player who excels all season (like Scottie Scheffler with five wins, including two majors) be properly recognized alongside the tournament champion? The current system, which essentially resets everything for o...
The disappearing golf landscape of Las Vegas takes center stage as the hosts discuss the imminent closure of Desert Pines Golf Club. While opinions on the course vary dramatically—one host defends it passionately while others criticize its conditions—they all acknowledge the sobering reality that Las Vegas is losing yet another golf course. This loss reflects the broader challenges faced by desert golf courses struggl...
