What if getting on the course in New Jersey required a license? This week on The DROP Podcast, we explore Golf Platzreife, Germany’s unique certification that proves a golfer is truly course-ready. It’s not just about skill - it’s about etiquette, pace, and responsibility. As public golf in NJ gets busier and more competitive, we ask: could a system like this improve the game for everyone? Whether you're a seasoned player or weekend warrior, this is a conversation that hits close to home.
We also check in on the U.S. Mid-Amateur, where NJ standouts like Troy Vannucci, Jerry Wall, and Brian Hart are in the field, along with MGA stars Stewart Hagestad and Christian Cavaliere. Then it’s a preview of the 98th NJPGA Championship at Knickerbocker CC (Sept 16–18), where the Top 11 pros will qualify for the 2026 PGA Professional Championship at Bandon Dunes. On the pro scene, we recap the Procure Championship, review the PGA Tour Fall Season, and break down Korn Ferry Playoffs action, with Ryan and James competing in the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship. Oh, and yes - Tiger Woods was up at Liberty National.
