In this episode, the crew recaps a chaotic ping pong tournament where Todd dominated and Len treated his paddle like a 60-degree wedge, nearly taking out the ceiling.Chris airs his grievances in a new "Marketplace Controversy" involving a pair of "brand new" shorts that turned out to be DIY cut-off pants. Plus, the guys discuss the start of winter simulator season, controversial talk about the addition of the "Belfast Open", and share thoughts on Tiger and Charlie Woods.Episode Highlights:Chris's "aggressive" Broncos Christmas outfit.Recap of the Island Green Ping Pong Championship (and Len's lack of backhand).The "Marketplace Controversy"Embracing winter golf and simulator season.The new Belfast Open on the Tournament Calendar
The boys take Island Green & Beyond on the road again, this time recording right inside the Belvedere Golf Club simulator bay. The vibes are high, the taps are flowing, and the chirps are elite.Episode 62 features an awesome sit-down with one of PEI’s brightest young athletes, Hunter Burke, fresh off his run at the Notah Begay World Junior Championship. Hunter talks pressure, putting, playing with Tony Finau’s son, and what it’s like dropping a par four hole-in-one (as your first). The guys swap stories about birthday weeks, inversion tables, photography chaos, and how juniors today somehow handle pressure better than grown men.A fun mix of golf, laughs, life, and one seriously impressive young talent.
Episode 61 dives hard into the “Beyond” part of Island Green & Beyond. The boys set up shop in Todd’s legendary basement: From there it’s pure chaos in the best way possible.They swap stories about daylight savings confusion (including parents with two watches and clocks set 20 minutes fast), memory hacks from Jim Kwik, and how brain tricks might actually help you remember names in your weekend foursome. Then it’s all-in on PEI Halloween drama: trick-or-treating getting moved for weather, being the “big chocolate bar house,” potato and apple handouts, UNICEF money mysteriously “compounding,” and kids running complex candy-arbitrage routes across counties.Eventually, they stumble back toward sports with a cathartic breakdown of the Blue Jays–Dodgers World Series: superstition, blown leads, wild moments, payroll rants, and the eternal debate of loyalty vs ring-chasing. There’s even a quick nod to King of the Hill at Glasgow to remind everyone this is still technically a golf podcast.Grab a Coffee Crisp, steal a Reese’s from the kids’ bag, and come hang in the basement.
The boys are back with new audio gear and the same kitchen-table energy! Len digs up Todd’s secret rap past (yes, Atlantic & Capital was real), then we dive into Jays mania, Todd’s wild elevator run-in at the playoffs, and his VIP Ryder Cup adventure that somehow involved Trump, fake lanyards, and “I’m an 01” security clearance.We wrap up with the Cavendish Cup victory recap, golf season debates, and a few classic Island chirps along the way. Grab a beer, hit play, and enjoy a laugh with the Island Green crew.
We’re back in the kitchen and back on track after last week’s audio hiccup (fired the whole audio staff… they’re working for Kimmel now). This one’s packed:• Tales of regripping gone wrong, fat grips vs skinny grips, and a little mix-up you won’t believe.• Chris’ Whistler adventure - golf at Nicklaus North, Big Sky, and a zipline that nearly had him passed out mid-air.• Inside the Atlantic Cup at Osprey Ridge - PEI’s sharp quarter-zips, top competition, wild formats, and Michael Kiley’s coming-out party against some of the region’s best.• The eternal debate: how many golf balls do you carry, when do you swap one out, and does anyone actually mark them the same way every time?• Ryder Cup hype - Todd’s heading to Bethpage, and we dig into what makes this event unlike anything else in golf.• Plus: the PEI men’s senior baseball team winning nationals, Belvedere’s lifetime membership draw, and the latest Currie ControversyIt’s golf, stories, laughs, and a little Island flavour - exactly what you expect from Island Green & Beyond.

Thanks for sticking with us, because this episode is a special one.For the very first time, all three of us – Len, Chris, and Todd – are gathered around the same table in Len’s kitchen, coffees in hand.

They say that you only get one chance to make a first impression. This weeks guest, Evan Stewart, made an incredible first impression on Len by ironically impersonating the former British Open first tee announcer Ivor Robson.

A ton of laughs are had and a big shoutout to Dan Martell as he's not only mentioned a ton during the episode, but we drop a sample of his music at the end of the episode. Enjoy!Â
If you were like Len who, living in PEI wasn't sure who Dave Williamson is, listen up. He's 2020 NS player of the year, former PGA Tour Canada player, 2008 NS AND NB Amateur Champion (in addition to 2010 Am champ in NS), and a Junior Champion up the wazoo. The best part about meeting with Dave however was his memory. Stories about playing against Adam Hadwin, buddies with Joel Dahmen, and stories about last weeks guest Anthony Warren.
