Sports Is Beyond Us

Hosts Sandy Shelton and Jim Dobson tackle the erosion of civility at golf events, from heckling at the Ryder and President's Cups to broader worries about sportsmanship and public behavior. Between serious takes they mix in Southern banter: bourbon and barbecue tales, a charity pork-butt contest, travel and book updates, and a string of quirky anecdotes.

Hosts trade loud, humorous banter about bourbon, golf and weekend plans—debating reforms for the President’s Cup, sharing golf stories, and poking fun at each other while mixing in pop culture bits like the Waffle House index and Fat Bear Week. They also promote a local “butt” (pork) cook-off at the Greensboro farmers’ market to benefit the Green for Greens program, mention bourbon bar discoveries, and invite listeners to engage via their website and social channels.

Hosts trade offbeat, humorous banter from the beach—covering bourbon tastings, golf stories (including Arnold Palmer memories), family moments, and pet antics. They weave personal anecdotes with lighthearted observations about travel, food, and local life. The episode also touches on sports updates, college football, and community happenings like a fundraising barbecue contest at the farmers market, blending friendly conversation with local news and listener-focused moments.

Hosts welcome Vince Morton—the self-styled "Chief Coot Officer"—for a funny, wide-ranging conversation about his South African roots, legendary golf skills, and a memorable night with Stag whiskey. The episode mixes lighthearted banter with personal anecdotes and local events. Topics include Arnold Palmer tributes, a charity "butt contest," concerns about money in modern sports, rugby and cricket stories, and colorful memories from a life in horticulture and research. Expect laughs, nostalgia, and heartfelt moments.

An easygoing episode of banter covering a sweltering Thursday: bourbon sips, a surprise golf trip to Pine Knolls, GPS detours, and nostalgic stories about Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan. The hosts discuss PGA Tour playoff changes, the President’s Cup picks, job trends, and quirky news from sea turtle hatchings to Amazon overtaking Walmart. They also talk Tiger Woods’s Range Rover incident and its legal fallout, upcoming family events including a 30-year vow renewal, and a pork-butt charity cookoff fundraiser — all delivered with light-hearted humor and anecdotal storytelling.
