Folge vom 12.11.2025351: From Caddies Abroad To VGN FinalsSend us a textThe 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 extra umbrella caddie for good measure. We talk about how to set expectations abroad, why communicating your caddie style matters, and how slow play can drain the value of any round if nobody enforces pace.Back in Vegas, the nostalgia hits at Las Vegas Country Club while we gear up for the VGN finals at Revere. We trade views vs. vibes, share practice rounds and weather intel, and set goals for two days that will decide bragging rights through winter. Along the way, we unpack the Internet Invitational: underrated talent, wild bets, and the way pressure turns putting brutal. It’s a look at creator golf that respects real skill and still asks smart questions about formats, stakes, and amateur status.We also unveil our partnership with Gresh Golf Academy, a serious training facility built for improvement, not entertainment. Think Foresight-powered bays, private studios, a legit indoor putting green, chipping space, and a real-sand bunker—plus coaching, junior development, and mobility work. If you’re chasing tighter dispersion and better speed through the cold months, this is where the grind gets measurable.Hit play for a tour through global golf culture, a local league finale with stakes, and a new home base for year-round practice.

Folge vom 05.11.2025350: Milestone Roundtable On Golf’s Wild WeekSend us a textA 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 without alienating players.Then we head to the Internet Invitational, a rare YouTube series that earns the hype. The magic isn’t perfect golf; it’s format and edit. Scramble into alternate shot, teams reshuffled, real stakes, and enough personality to make you care without drowning in forced drama. We unpack what worked, what seemed manufactured, and why structure beats spectacle if creator golf wants staying power.Gearheads get their segment too. We debate Scotty Cameron’s “low torque” designs—one thoughtful, one looking suspiciously like a welded workaround—and contrast them with Odyssey’s tech-forward ZT lineup. Forward CG, tungsten-heavy fronts, and AI-informed faces promise straighter starts and better energy transfer. But we ask the only question that matters on a putting green: does it help you start the ball on line at your speed, more often, under pressure?Finally, the big shift: LIV moving to 72 holes. No rule-bending here; they met the OWGR standard. That’s a step toward legitimacy, not a cure-all. Shotgun starts still confuse viewers, team branding still lacks soul, and broadcasts still need a cleaner story. The upside? More meaningful leaderboards and a path to points. The downside? Fans still get split fields when they want the best playing the best more often.Tap play to hear the whole ride—course intel, creator golf that’s actually smart, honest gear talk, and what LIV’s pivot really means. If you enjoy the show, share it with a golf friend, hit subscribe, and drop your take: Which putter tech would you trust, and are you watching more or less now that LIV is 72 holes?Support the showSpecial thank goes out to our show sponsors:?️♂️Garsen Grips - https://garsengolf.com And also our show supporters:⛳️ Las Vegas Golf Superstore - https://www.worldwidegolfshops.com/?️♂️ Rohrs Golf Co - https://rohrsgolf.com/

Folge vom 29.10.2025349: From VGN Finals Drama To YouTube Golf’s RiseSend us a textA 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 conversation lands squarely on the side of people, not spin wheels.We talk Whatnot frankly: the thrill, the fatigue, and the difference between building a brand and pushing a gimmick. Our take is simple—trust wins. Know your value, pick your rooms wisely, and support sellers who ship on time and stand behind their gear. From there, we go under the hood on putting. LAB’s zero-torque hype meets real data from GCQuad and SAM PuttLab, and we untangle confidence from placebo. Fitting still matters—length, lie, and grip can transform your roll—but nothing replaces reps. Add in course context (Aliante’s deceptively quick greens vs TPC Vegas perfection) and you get why “feel” changes overnight.Then we tackle the big culture shift: are creators now more influential than pros? YouTube golf packages story, access, and personality at scale. Pros still move tech, but creators demo gear up close and talk you through every choice. The likely future is both—tour validation plus creator intimacy. Along the way, we share a better cart-ride playbook after a meltdown, shout out Garsen Grip with a listener hookup, and lay out how to keep league golf fun, competitive, and fair for the diehards.Tap play, join the conversation, and tell us where you stand on creators vs pros, putter fittings vs marketing, and the right way to handle that silent cart ride. If you’re new here, follow the show, share it with a golf buddy, and drop a review—your support keeps this community rolling.Support the showSpecial thank goes out to our show sponsors:?️♂️Garsen Grips - https://garsengolf.com And also our show supporters:⛳️ Las Vegas Golf Superstore - https://www.worldwidegolfshops.com/?️♂️ Rohrs Golf Co - https://rohrsgolf.com/

Folge vom 22.10.2025348: Vegas Golf, Scrambles, And Haters: A Real-World RoundupSend us a textCold 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 that disappears by the first tee—and why it gets expensive fast. From Spanish Trail’s range changes to Rhodes Ranch’s lights and longer hours, we break down which local courses are stepping up for everyday players. Then it’s all things scrambles: how we won the Office Bar event, why mulligan sales and gimmicks can warp leaderboards, and the mindset that keeps team golf fun and fair.The hottest take comes from a single swing: a 285-yard carry to 10 feet on a par 4 that drew instant internet hate. We talk confidence, proof, and why your game can’t be crowd-sourced. That leads into VGN standings, planning for finals, and practical gear notes—wedge gapping, fairway shafts, and a putting setup that turns 26-putt rounds into real momentum.We also wade into the pro-to-amateur status debate. Should former tour players be allowed into amateur fields after a waiting period? Where’s the line between a mini-tour grinder who steps away and a player with a robust tour résumé? Expect strong opinions and a call for clearer guardrails that respect competitive balance without closing doors.Before we wrap, we point north to Black Desert and the Utah golf scene—lava rock vistas, new holes on the horizon, and why that region keeps earning “bucket list” buzz. If you love golf talk that blends local insights, gear tweaks, tournament strategy, and a little friendly fire, you’re home.If this hit your golf brain just right, tap follow, share it with your group chat, and leave a quick review. It helps more golfers find the show and keeps the community growing.
