Send us a textGolf 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 failed) to drive balls across the Missouri River, to the nearly mythical Landman Golf Club—perhaps the hardest public tee time to secure in America. Navigating dirt roads through endless cornfields, we discovered a golf course that encourages creativity above all else, where the infamous "Landman Bounce" had us aiming at seemingly absurd targets to let the land work its magic. We invented "Farm," a putting game that might become your new favorite way to spend time on the practice green with friends.Our journey continued to Tatanka on Native American land (complete with "ditch weed" growing throughout the property) and culminated at The Prairie Club, where the Pines and Dunes courses sparked heated debates about which deserved the higher ranking. Throughout it all, we encountered small-town America at its most authentic—from gas station treasures to our first taste of Runzas, the regional delicacy that had us stopping multiple times for more. With nearly 1,000 miles logged in five days and eight rounds played, this trip reminded us why golf travel creates memories that last a lifetime.What's your dream golf destination? Have you explored America's heartland courses? We'd love to hear about your own discoveries and adventures as we continue our endless pursuit of golf's hidden treasures.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/

Send us a textThe 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 one final event, continues to draw criticism from players and fans alike.The Ryder Cup team selections loom large with captain Keegan Bradley set to announce his picks tomorrow. We analyze the automatic qualifiers and potential captain's selections, making the case for who should represent Team USA against what appears to be a formidable European lineup. Some surprising names, like Colin Morikawa, might not deserve spots based on recent form, while others, like Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay, could strengthen the American side despite some reservations.Meanwhile, LIV Golf continues to struggle with its television product and format. Despite drawing crowds in person, the confusing presentation with shotgun starts, unclear team elements, and disjointed coverage makes following the action difficult for viewers. As professional golf remains divided, we question whether the proposed merger will ever materialize, especially as the product quality gap between tours remains significant.On a more adventurous note, we preview our upcoming golf journey through Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa – highlighting how golf creates opportunities to explore parts of America you'd otherwise never visit. Courses like Landmannd, Tatanka, and Prairie Club represent hidden gems that transform ordinary locations into extraordinary experiences, showcasing the true spirit of golf discovery beyond the professional tours.Join us for this wide-ranging conversation about golf's present challenges and future possibilities, both on tour and in the heartland of America.
