After the Presidents’ Day marathon at the SoFi Center, Andy Johnson starts this episode by chatting with Roberto Castro about TGL’s first season. Roberto was instrumental in the creation of the league’s gameplay and shares insights into how the league is handling business aspects such as player buy-in, television broadcasts, and technology. Andy and Roberto discuss the week-to-week improvements by the players as they become adjusted to playing simulator golf and wonder what season two may look like for the league. After that, Andy and PGA Tour pro Zac Blair talk through the three courses that Zac’s thinking about the most. Zac discusses what owning his own course is like, how he solicits feedback from members and guests, and the subjectivity of golf course rankings.

Zac, I was introduced to the Tree Farm last fall on a golf trip by our mutual friend Dave M., and it was one of my most enjoyable 48 hours in my memory. A huge hat tip for getting the little things right. We stayed in the Crow's Nest and the amenities were perfect. Great showers, comfortable beds, excellent breakfast and coffee. Outside of my love for the golf course, I was wildly impressed by the culture that you and your team have cultivated (shoutout Drew K!) We spent all evening in the main room watching college football and were met with eclectic personalities on what was truly one of the coldest weekend of the year. The conditions didn't do us any favors, and I would still spend every weekend for the rest of time in that setting and be perfectly content. Keep up the excellent work, you've created something special, and I really enjoyed seeing you on the podcast.
