Trap Draw Podcast

DJ, KVV and Neil are joined by - yes you read the title correctly - Rory McIlroy for a review of the first three seasons of HBO's "Succession". As the fourth and final season premieres in a few days we go through our favorite moments, episodes and quotes from the Roy family so far. We also hold a draft of a golf partner from the show's characters, debate the timing of the show ending after four seasons, and we close with KVV assigning some make-believe country club memberships to various characters.

The No Laying Up collective chops it up with a wide variety of guests from all corners of the golf world, and more importantly, guests from the golf-adjacent world.

Stephen shines light on forgotten champions such as John Ball, John Henry Taylor, and many more. It's a great gift for any golf history nuts and avid readers in your life. Enjoy!
