The Island Green Podcast

⛳ The boys are back in Todd’s basement for a Thanksgiving weekend episode - and there’s a lot to unpack after Len’s month-long 50th birthday celebration.First up is the full Chicago recap. Len attempts 50 drinks for 50 years, Chris somehow talks the PGA Tour into giving Island Green legitimate media credentials, and the boys head to the media center at the Presidents Cup. They tour the media centre, catch up with Bob Weeks, experience Medinah’s ridiculous rough and discover that persistence can apparently make up for a modest audience.The sports weekend continues with a Blackhawks game featuring no Connor Bedard, deep-dish pizza, an Eagles tailgate in the middle of Chicago and a rough Monday night at Soldier Field. Todd also discovers a previously unknown talent for Left Right Center before politely informing everyone that they simply “can’t dice.”Back home, Todd recaps PEI’s record-setting Atlantic Cup victory at Mill River - or the Maritime Cup, depending on who you ask. He and Morgan Brennan both go 5-0, PEI posts the largest winning total in event history and Todd receives a pretty special call from Tim York naming him the team’s co-captain.Plus, the Fall Finish, two more Island hole-in-ones, unfair pin placements, upcoming fall tournaments and the usual reminder that golf season around here doesn’t end until someone makes us stop.From tee to tide, it’s Island Green & Beyond.
