E3. Swing, Sip, and Spin: Chasing Perfection in Golf and Whiskey
Description
This week's Greens and Grains episode blends iconic golf moments, whiskey mastery, and lighthearted fun. We revisit a historic PGA Tour performance, marveling at the mental and physical grit it takes to achieve perfection under pressure (0:01 ). Then, we explore the parallels between crafting a fine whiskey and honing the perfect golf shot, from pre-shot analysis to post-shot reflection, echoing the heads, hearts, and tails of distillation (12:35 ). On the equipment front, we discuss the 2025 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls and their promise of enhanced spin and control (25:50 ), followed by the decadent release of a 26-year-old Bushmills whiskey priced like a luxury round at Pebble Beach (33:15 ). Finally, we delve into Maine's proposed tax hikes on cigarettes and cigars, with a humorous take on government spending (40:20 ).
