Good stuff guys!

More water holes. That’s what is missing. Sucker pins and water holes. And I guess 6’ rough.

Brandel has nightmares at being irrelevant

NLU does not get the distance aspect of strokes gained

Brandel constantly talking over Soly is so annoying. Soly had to bail on his very first argument that tall rough is not the ONLY defense against elite golfers because Brandel wouldn’t just sit there and listen for two seconds. And for as much as Brandel wants to look at math, he doesn’t seem to understand that a ball roll back doesn’t create a linear reduction in yardage across all ball speeds. The effect of the reduction will not be nearly as dramatic for the average golfer as it is going to be for the pros. Ironically, he just counters the rollback with a straw man argument that the huge (non-existent) difference for recreational golfers will turn them off of the game.

why do they think the winning score will be -10? E looks more likely

TSN in Canada is the best. Coverage all day long. No changing channels, no paywalls. Love it

These are so good. Love listening to KVV recapping history, brings a certain gravitas.

TC calling the players bitches is lol funny. Guy is the biggest baby back biscuit online. Biggest crybaby with dem nasty teeth

Ttfg😮 36😮y ya 😢😮so yang 😮gt😮😮ee et et 😢so much much 😂😂😂6 tr44430 4

Wtf is a block party? Is that a Blockie thing?

Is Scotty the illegitimate son of Jethro Bodine and JoAnne Carner?

Brandel doesn't seem to understand you can roll the ball and equipment back and if you over do it, you can easily move the tees forward. If equipment keeps getting better and these guys are hitting it 450 yards, you make tons of historically great courses obsolete over night. Courses would run out of real estate trying to lengthen the courses to 8,500 yards. Youth Baseball all the way through college baseball, the kids play with a metal bat. When you make the jump to the pros they give you a woke bat and then the real hitters separate themselves. Not to mention, you don't have to push the green monster back 75 feet to keep routine pop flies in play. Golf should look into doing something similar. A rolled back ball and Woods should come into play when you are looking to turn pro so we can preserve some of the historically great courses.

I am keen to hear what the guys have to say about the US Open!

Watching Live From this morning, you can REALLY see the grain on 18th green. Adds to the complexity, which is good.

“At this level of technology” skip forward 45 seconds

Charles Reiter beats the piss out of it

re: Tech - I feel like the beginning of the end was huge drivers. A ton of the 'technology' issues could be sorted with a max driver head size. Make it a max of 175cc or so and that single change would go a long way in the right direction.

I enjoy this podcast. Provides something different than the other golf podcasts with the in-depth course analyses and previous US Opens discussions.

Soly killing it on the lead ins to the ad reads recently! Watch out Sarge!

Scottie gives big erosion vibes

I have to think they're setting it up difficulty-wise like they did the Women's Open. It'll be a bloodbath.

One thing about the setup, I think the USGA will err on the side of too easy for the first time around as an anchor site. Id rather it be a bloodbath too but I think the USGA is going to be too timid to set that precedent when theyve already got 4 more of these scheduled here

Why do I keep hearing people say Daly walked off here? Am I missing something? Didn’t he just pull the Phil at shinnecock, 15 years before Phil did it?

bring on the test

Also can the USGA make every US open on a public course? I think the point of “I’ve played there” is so damn cool

Did American Airlines get the best of TC this weekend? His nose is like 45° to the left

Todd!

i like the last 5 seconds of soly just looking confused

The way I was screaming Retief Goosen

Very enjoyable pod thanks guys

Ashley Schaeffer approved, TC.

So a story from 1999 open was Olazabal. He broke his hand after round 1 after hitting the wall with his hand. He had won the Masters just a few months earlier

Love these, especially the off course angles, much appreciate it guys, keep them rolling

This was a fantastic listen. Props to TC taking one for the team

Refreshing to hear a productive debate on a very complicated issue.

Brandel is an embarrassment to golf and was unable to compete on any circuit !

Amy

Brandel is the most well spoken and smartest guy in sports broadcasting. He can pearl clutch at times and I disagree with a few things but goddamn is he articulate, well thought and good at what he does.

“Thank you tiger woods” this guy was the biggest tiger hater……”Bryson is a phenom” this threw more dirt on that kid than anyone…… what a charlatan

Have him address his flip flop on LIV/players, which has got to be humiliating. You know… cuz he was so anti-LIV and stuff. He’s an a**hat. ROTFL!

Well done KVV that was an amazing look back

Brandel quoting Jordan Peterson at the end? One of his favorite intellectuals?

Soly fighting tears while reading and Tron throws in the “Let the boys watch” reference 😂

TC looking like Bob Menery. Great stuff as always guys!

fantastic deep dive-- you guys are both diligent with your research and hilarious as well. best golf content on the web. keep it up boys. just finished watching your work on Australia. I am going in January 2025 and playing some of the courses you visited

if nlu is not about money, then they don't create all these shitty merch or fake reality content to scam people's $
