Friend of the program, Dane Delgado stops by to talk about the fabulous new selection of products from Matchstick Golf. And Smokin' Charley Hull's new plan to combat slow play is discussed.
Zero torque putters are the hottest piece of equipment in golf since the ProV1, but are they really the savior that disciples claim they are? Nick has begun his extensive research into these flatsticks and shares everything he's learned: are they this good? Who are they for? And why haven't the big brands released them?

We've all been on the tee box of a short par 4 thinking "there's no way I can get it there" and oops, you hit it perfect. Now what?

If you have a better title episode for this show, please do write in. The fellas delve into the exciting world of golf accessories and decide if they're overrated, underrated or properly. Tools like a Swiss army divot tool. GPS/Bluetooth pager. And, of course alignment stick covers. Before all that silliness, the boys touch on the Tom Kim nontroversy at President's Cup.
Many have tried, many have failed. Everyone has opinions about what can be to unite and creating a more interesting version of professional golf. The boys dip their toes in these murky waters to come up with some ideas about how to get casual fans more invested in the non-Majors.

It should be the best moment of a golfer's life, making an ace. For some reason, this rarest of rare occasion has morphed into a responsibility of making sure the entire clubhouse is properly loaded. What is the appropriate amount of liquor to buy after a hole-in-one? And, punching season is right around the corner. Do people actually care that much?
Most people wish they could roll the clock back with the knowledge they have now. Make that double for golfers! The fellas sit down with newly obsessed golfer and hilarious comedian Jeremiah Coughlan. They chat about what got him into the game, then dive into all of the things they wished they knew when they first started playing golf.
It may be trite to call the first swing on the first hole the most important shot of the day, but baby, it's the truth! The whole tone of the day can set by a missile in the mayor's office or a poof ball into the driving range. The fellas share what they do to make sure 18 holes aren't ruined by one thoughtless strike and recount tales of woe on the opening tee.
Golf is full of social landmines and some transgressions are more serious than others. The fellas attempt to determine which common etiquette niceties are crucial to get right and which ones don't really matter all that much.
