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...

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...

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...
Golf is more than just a game – it's about showing up on time, adapting to changing environments, and sometimes finding your best swing when you least expect it.

Finding joy in the small moments of golf might be the secret to both happiness and improvement.

When does a golf obsession cross the line into absurdity? This week, we explore the curious case of driver aesthetics – why golfers fixate on colors they'll never see during actual play.
