A No Laying Up tradition returns with our annual Goals podcast. We begin with the christening of 2025 as "The Year of the ______", get a report card for how we did with our 2024 goals and then set out our personal goals for 2025.

Then it's Data Boys Award SZN as Soly recaps some data superlatives from the 2024 season. We close with the main event of this weekend pod as we draft our pick to win each event on the '25 PGA Tour schedule.

After a brief recap of the PNC, the Crypto Showdown, and the search for a PGA Tour CEO, we conduct a review of our personal golf games over the past year. We break down our GHIN app rewind data and look back at a number of topics including our favorite courses, shots, moments, and playing partners plus our lowest moment on the course and the worst shots we hit in 2024.


320: Seamsters Hot Stove + Keith O'Brien's "Charlie Hustle"

The stove is hot! Baseball's winter meetings have come and gone and we've got plenty of new faces in new places. Randy and DJ talk ball in the first half of the episode, including their reaction to the biggest moves of the offseason thus far. In the second half of the show (at the 1:00:18 mark), Keith O'Brien stops by to discuss his new book, "Charlie Hustle: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days of Baseball." Keith has written the definitive biography of the late Hit King, Pete Rose. Whatever your opinion of Pete we think you'll learn something about him and hopefully grab the book, either for yourself or the baseball fan in your life. It's the perfect read while biding time until pitchers and catchers report. Enjoy!

Back in June, KVV penned a piece for the NLU Website
