A Friday whiparound episode covers a wide range of topics, including Tiger, Jay, Yasir, and Adam Scott meeting with President Trump at the White House on Thursday, a bevy of golf content coming to streaming services soon, and a ranking of Girl Scout Cookies. Andy breaks out the soundboard early after not using it much in the month of February before Brendan shares some unsubstantiated rumors about Girl Scout Cookie sales inside the moat at PGA Tour HQ. The two then discuss Thursday’s meeting between the PGA Tour and Saudi PIF at the White House, which has not yet reached a deal at the time of posting. On the PGA Tour this week, Tosti is off to a hot start in Mexico and Andy wonders why everyone’s ready to anoint Jake Knapp as the “Next Big Thing” during his title defense this week. A new sponsor debuts this episode, with Brendan and Andy sharing their new favorite venison from Maui Nui. SGS Golf Advice returns with a listener’s list of worst names for golf clubs, a suggestion for PGA Tour practice rounds, and a question about simulator etiquette. Brendan wraps this show up with a Flashback Friday on Mexican golf legend Esteban Toledo and one notable rules issue he encountered during his career.

TOUTS
If there’s a tournament in Moscow would the winner get one of those big fur Russian hats instead of a jacket or cardigan?
Loved the sim golf shoes discourse
psshh LPGA dads 😒🙄
GS cookies is a cold call sales practice – wait till you have to sell ….
Myrtle Beach event should have an RV Company sponsorship.
More soundboard lets goooooo
That ejection of culpability from Brendan on the cookie was faster than my toe drive going OB on comp day.
What logo is that on Brendan's hoodie
Jake knapp in a body bag damn Andy 😂
What’s Andy’s beef with Knapp?
Not only are there a ton of new GS cookies but some are regional. All depends on what place is making them.
A key lesson from selling the girl scout cookies is the scouts learn to talk to adults and sell. That lesson is completely abandoned if the PARENT is out selling the cookies FOR THE CHILD at work, etc. It defeats one of the main purposes.
#TeamAndy on G.S. cookies
Holy Toledo! what a great story. Esteban should have given Dawson the "ol one-two".
Andy brought his plumbing woes to work and we all benefitted.
Pulled around the corner to the third tee of an unnamed florida subdivision course the other day and the girl scouts had a table set up right there on the golf course selling cookies haha. Couldn’t believe it.
