Huge show. We’re joined by Mississippi State women’s head golf coach Charlie Ewing (25:28) to talk through the debacle in Baton Rouge and the subsequent birth of the Let Them Play Classic. What led to the infamous staircase announcement? How did a program like Mississippi State first react to Barstool getting involved? How is the team preparing now? What is their excitement level like? Also, it’s a MAJOR WEEK. Trent, Frankie and Jake are at Kiawah Island. Who do we like this week? Who are our picks? Favorites vs dark horses? Lurch has played Kiawah — what’s he think? All this and, obviously, much more.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

The Miz (57:44) from WWE, Real World, and reality TV fame joins the show for the first time. We discuss turning “15 minutes of fame” into a 20+ year career, the humility of golf, and even get a little sparring between The Miz and The Butter Knife. Before the interview, we peek behind the curtain to detail our production process, debate the Premier Golf League’s latest news, and preview both Trent’s first “Breaking 100 Series” trip to Georgia to visit instructor John Tillery and the upcoming Barstool Classic west coast swing.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Live from the 18th green of Torrey Pines, we’re back. We’re joined the second half of the show by NHL legend, 7-time Stanley Cup winner Bryan Trottier (25:07). Before then, we give knee-jerk reactions to playing 2021 U.S. Open venue Torrey Pines from 7,800 yards: the bad, the ugly, and the even worse.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

The first Tiger photo post-accident has emerged and he looks... great. We react to Tiger’s post, the Zurich Classic ending in alternate shot playoff, and Brooks Koepka lefty vs Dave Portnoy (with Frankie on the bag). And we do this all live from the patio at Olympic Club, minutes after playing it. We also discuss that round without spilling all the juice. We’re all together in person again, so it’s one of those kind of shows.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

A very unique and fascinating guest on today’s show. Dr. Jared Van Snellenberg (54:40) was Happy Gilmore’s caddie, and today is a doctor conducting important research on the brain. As you may imagine, this takes us down a lot of different roads: what was the Happy Gilmore role like, how does the brain affect good golf versus bad golf, how can we better control our own brains, and much more. Before Dr. Van Snellenberg, we have a lengthy discussion on the PGA Tour’s new “Player Impact Program,” rewarding a $40M bonus pool to the players who are most impactful on moving the needle.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
