  • Yasir and Jay play together, Cutthroat Tour proposals, and a Ballfrogs documentary

    Yasir and Jay play together, Cutthroat Tour proposals, and a Ballfrogs documentary
    Oct 2 2024
    Andy and Brendan bring in the month of October with this meandering episode on a wide array of pro golf and non-golf topics. They begin with a debate about pumpkin patches. Then they get to the news that PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Saudi PIF’s Yasir Al-Rumayyan are playing together in the Dunhill this week alongside their pro partners, Billy Boy and Mean Dean. This leads to a lengthy digression on the ability to get a deal done on the golf course, as well as an exploration on some of the many other amateur/celebrity names in the field. Then they get to some minutiae on the Furyk and Friends Champions Tour weekend. The Sanderson marks the return of Cutthroat Corner, as well as a chat on Monday Q’s report about the reduction of fields and cards memo that was sent out. They close with a discussion on the KFT Championship at French Lick, who is in, who is out, and where cards are on the line and some argue it is the purest moment in sports. As they try to leave, Brendan pans the notion of a 5-part documentary series on the Ballfrogs.

    Grading the Presidents Cup, USA team’s future, and a farewell to Dayman
    Sep 30 2024
    Andy and Brendan are back to put a bow on a fun P-Cup week at SGS. There was a little bit of everything. For this Monday episode, they begin with another USA blowout victory at the Presidents Cup and what it says about the current state of the competition, its future, and how enjoyable it still was this past weekend. They hand out grades for several players on each side of the equation, including Captains Furyk and Weir, stars like Playoff Pat, and goats alike -- does Canada have to apologize? They discuss the kerfuffle with the Tom Kim, the American response with Wyndham stirring the pot, and what crosses the line, if anything, in match play. They close with some further presidents cup appreciation and criticism as it rides off into the sunset for another two years.

  • Presidents Cup Day 1 Disaster, and other assorted shouting

    Presidents Cup Day 1 Disaster, and other assorted shouting
    Sep 27 2024
    Andy and Brendan are coming in hot on this Friday episode after a 5-0 whitewash in the opening session of the Presidents Cup. The Internationals are down, but are they out? Also probably yes. They discuss some of the LVPs, the MVPs, the golf course, the broadcast, and much more from Montreal. They hone in on a couple thirstbuckets, some bagel boys, and the Tom Kim controversy about leaving the hole early that put Kevin Kisner in a tense confrontation with Camilo Villegas. There is some heat for C-Bez, Milquetoast Mike, J-Day, and many more. There is praise for Scottie, Xander, Wyndham, and many more. There are questions about the Pointer Brothers, among others. They close with some thoughts on the two USGA amateur champions crowned on Thursday.
