[@gusturner3784]

A deep dive pod + a film room today, absolute sweepstakes

[@Drinnger57]

Lotta content this week

[@rbaki94]

Plus the brandel pod

[@ArgiRadani]

These recap pods are top notch. Wasn't old enough to witness some of these at the time so going back to watch is always a good treat!

[@carsoncunningham_]

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

[@timboaf21]

Deep dives are fantastic! I remember 1999 so vividly and was about the same age as Soly. Stoked for Pinehurst next week!

[@squeakkysqueakky]

Cant go to work today boss, new NLU historical deep dive just dropped

[@sgoboys]

Well done KVV that was an amazing look back

[@pc88k]

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

[@blaketschirhart230]

[@spencermartin1216]

[@ParkerPlaysGolf]

[@markroper1956]

[@lhk1951]

Watched the 99 open a couple weeks back. My god what a tournament. I still cannot believe Phil didn’t win; at no point on that back 9, outside of the 2 minute stretch from the putts on 17 to the drives on 18, did it feel like Phil wouldn’t win

[@ericedwards33]

The full final round is a fun watch. Also the late 90s nbc coverage is so damn good.

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

[@rbaki94]

Please never stop doing these

[@highlander9997]

My biggest memory of Michael Campbell is him doing the Haka at the Presidents Cup....Awesome

[@T-V-1.]

Goosen was my golfer growing up. By 2005 he had forged a reputation as somewhat of a US Open specialist and I remember that the consensus going into that final round in 2005 was that it was close to a formality. I couldn't believe how quickly it went wrong for Retief in that final round. You wonder how much that affected him going forward as he never won another major even though he did feature on a few major leaderboards; people often forget he was right in the mix for the Stuart Cink Open win.

[@scusmano27]

Watched the 99 final round last night on the us open page. All time.

[@davidspracale4177]

Earl would've been on EVERY damn podcast

[@Nick_J_]

2014 I went to the 3rd round. Amazing experience. The course looked literally impossible in person

[@savannahlt1]

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

[@EastCoastEv33]

Content sweepstakes what a world we are living in

[@jamessnavely614]

The way I was screaming Retief Goosen

[@johnedwards3807]

Ashley Schaeffer approved, TC.

[@johnnyschildroth9828]

Love you Mr. TC and don’t know how you feel about this guy but your look is giving me wiffs of Bob Menery.

[@peterzaccheria2427]

My only ace is at the 9th hole at Pinehurst No2 last July 2023. Not from the US Open tees of course, but to learn I’m in the same company as Zach fucking Johnson makes me sad

[@thomasmccarrick4169]

Peter Jacobson too

[@skellvarnsen23]

if you come for the crown, you better not miss

[@Connor22fr]

People forget Retief was HIM in the early 2000s

[@jaredk7041]

NLU does not get the distance aspect of strokes gained

[@j.s3300]

Oooooooooooo booooooyyyy

[@oldtommorris5502]

100%

[@DaringDan]

Turtleback.
