Travel back from the Florida swamp pushed this episode to a Friday morning recording, but Brendan and Andy are still jazzed about PJ’s interaction with “Sticks Boy”, which was briefly immortalized by a Noah Kahan fan account on Instagram before being deleted due to colon jokes in the comments. Aside from TGL, there’s outdoor golf being played across the globe this week, and the discussion starts with the latest from DLF, complete with some on-the-ground insights. Brendan and Andy are giddy about “The Battleship” making the cut and staying to play the weekend, where he’ll be chasing 36-hole leader Joaquin Niemann. There is then some lengthy discussion about Pebble Beach, where Jay Monahan and other PGA Tour executives were spitballin’ with the media in a private Wednesday session. A large part of this session reportedly focused on PGA Tour broadcast issues, with the executives saying that they want to show “more consequential shots” for viewers going forward. In on-course news, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry both celebrated a hole-in-one on Thursday, leading to plenty of soundboard usage from Andy. The LPGA’s Tournament of Champions is also ongoing in Orlando, and Andy and Brendan look at the list of celebrities playing in the pro-am and decide who should earn a promotion to Pebble Beach next year. Is former NBA swingman Courtney Lee really a celebrity? This is discussed at length! To wrap things up, an emailer writes in with a story about a fraudulent assistant club pro for this week’s SGS Golf Advice.

The glee on Andy’s face when he drops the spitballin clip is priceless
"Dayman is a lot" ? BLASPHEMY
Andy’s Rick Shiels Break 75 joke deserves more love
The solution is better more interesting venues….British open is only coverage I can stomach to watch unfortunately.
suggestion: start a new YT channel where you put all the podcasts. your hickory video is getting jammed by the algorithm. shoutout jj barea
Andy is right that the PGATour is clueless…but WTF Scotty v. Rory in a 30-45 minute match is not a solution either…
I still don’t think the casual fan would watch Rory Scottie match. Maybe 2-3 million. Tiger was the needle for outside die hard golf fans. He’s not relevant anymore and no one was able to take his spot. Bryson is that guy now with his social media posts that draws eyes.
Tom Womsgans: "We're listening?"
PREACH! PREACH! PREACH!
We hear for you
Bro narcing on the ass pro is insane
Question of the day: is it pronounced GHIN or GHIN?
Weather sucks at Pebble, AGAIN. Thank goodness we have SoFi Dome.
