Live from the Kill House

D.J., Soly, Tron and KVV were each given $200 to spend as they pleased on golf memorabilia that caught their eye - regardless of how unserious some of the items might be. We give a quick lament to the items that got away or wouldn't fit our budget constraints and then show off our purchases for all to enjoy.

963: Pro golf thrills and delights, plus Thomas Detry on the process of winning

D.J., Randy, and Neil fire up the pod as we ask ourselves to come up with three things that thrill and delight us in pro golf, and we fire up our listener voicemail line (33:30).

On tonight's Back Nine (1:01:00), we recap Joe Highsmith's win at PGA National, the significance - or lack thereof - of Jake Knapp's 59, LPGA, DP World Tour, TGL, PGA Tour HQ layoffs, and in honor of tonight's Oscars, Pro Golfers as Best Picture nominees.

We also hear from Soly who catches up with Thomas Detry (1:36:30) to relive his win in Phoenix and the challenge of closing out a PGA Tour tournament before we close out with some housekeeping (1:53:30) ahead of a busy week of #content.

We're back with the second installment of our personal golf spotlight series as Tron gives us his current What's In The Bag, relives his days as a junior golfer, and the process of learning and appreciating golf course architecture before and during his time with NLU. Then, for the main event, we pin TC down and force him to name his Top Ten Favorite Courses (subject to change, of course).


962: NLU Personal Golf Spotlight - Tron

In this edition of NLU Special Projects, KVV brings us a deep dive on the life and career of Calvin Peete. From the famous story of the fall that broke his arm as a boy to his career on tour where he won twelve times including the 1985 Players, we hope you enjoy this look at one of golf's most remarkable stories you might not have heard before.

Then we offer some early Masters picks as the Tour begins the Florida swing next week and an early guess at the US and Euro Ryder Cup team rosters.

For our Back Nine segment tonight we review the latest rumblings on the PIF-PGA Tour meetings, the LPGA Thailand and DP World Tour's Magical Kenya Open, TGL, the Rory vs. Johnson Wagner beef and more.

Before our interview with Yealimi, we preview the upcoming Asian Swing with some other news and notes from on tour.


We've often discussed courses we want to play one day and, for this pod, we decided to formalize our lists and see what can be accomplished in 2025. Soly, DJ, Tron and Neil all divided our individual lists into five categories: one hour from home, day trips (34:30), Golden Age (51:30), Wild Cards (1:01:30), and a personal top five Bucket List (1:12:00).

Today was a day for blowouts. Long before the Chiefs were taken to the woodshed by the Eagles, Thomas Detry lapped the field at the Waste Management to win by seven shots for his first career tour victory.
