Sammy and Lynchy kick off the show with a quick update on the Brooks Koepka news that dropped moments after last week’s episode went live. At (12:28), the boys dive into Elvis Smylie’s decision to join LIV Golf and break down the newly formed Ripper GC lineup (15:21). At (21:48), it’s Around The Grounds, starting close to home with the Vic Open where Cam John prevailed in a playoff over Nathan Barbieri, before heading overseas to the DP World Tour with the Dubai Invitational (35:06), won by Nacho Elvira, and the PGA Tour where Chris Gotterup claimed the Sony Open. At (40:10), it’s time for this week’s Scramble — would you rather be carrying a lead into the final round, or chasing from behind with nothing to lose? At (47:26), the guys unpack the exciting release of Callaway’s new Quantum driver, before Lynchy delivers another Course Language Confessional at (51:59) involving a pro who will remain nameless but make us laugh. At (55:18), the boys look ahead to the upcoming Webex Players Series at Rosebud, before closing out the show by congratulating Q from our friends at The Tee It Up Podcast on becoming a tour-winning caddie! All thanks to Callaway.
