No Laying Up Podcast

Trap Draw Podcast

Big decision to make this week for our preview location, and the more we thought about it, the easier it got. Singapore is a place both Tron and Randy want to get to (via Singapore Airlines ideally), so it made sense to talk about the island-nation this week as they play host to the LPGA. Joining TC and Randy is very special guest, Mark Adams. Mark has lived in Singapore for many years and travels extensively all across the region. The guys ask him all about his home, from food to golf and everything in-between. And be sure to stick around for Mark's *crazy* experience on Singapore Airlines in 1991, as well as some bonus NBA talk at the end. Enjoy!

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. 



Episode 133: Singapore

The Big Easy! Randy's favorite American city, and inexplicably, somewhere Tron has never been. The two of them clear up some quick housekeeping items before welcoming Ben Goodly, curator of the blog, 

, to talk about the food and drink scene in New Orleans. Ben has a regular job by day but explores his passion through food on the side. He has created a mock itinerary for the boys and is a great resource for any trip down to NOLA. Enjoy!

Episode 131: NOLA

It's been a little bit since we've done a Perfect Club episode, so what better time than now as we all come off our Masters-induced frenzy. This episode is a discussion between Randy, DJ Pie, and ESPN's Kevin Van Valkenburg about the show, "In & Of Itself." Currently streaming on Hulu, the show is the creation of Derek DelGaudio and, well, if you've seen it, you know what it's about. And if you haven't seen it, watch it first before listening to this episode--we think the show will be worth your time. Enjoy!

Episode 130: "In & Of Itself" Perfect Club

The title of this episode says it all. Masters week. Augusta, Georgia. Tron and Randy discuss the Big Guy's move out west, clear some housekeeping items, and then welcome on singer-songwriter, Mike Stone. You might have heard Mike's music advertised on PGA Tour radio or Golf Channel--he's got two golf-related hits, "One Week in April" and "Thank You Arnie (We're Your Army)". Mike comes on to talk about his music career, the reasons behind writing the two aforementioned tracks, what's next for him, and much more! Couldn't love Mike's attitude and energy more. Enjoy!

On this episode of the TrapDraw Randy talks with 

writer, author and journalist, Jeff Wallach

It's a book about two brothers searching for clues about their father, and while it's not about golf per se, the game plays a big role in the plot. Randy chats with Jeff about the book, his career as a writer, the process of writing everyday, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!

Episode 128: A Conversation with Jeff Wallach

Home game for the TrapDraw this week! Always nice to sleep in our own beds as the Players Championship takes place in Ponte Vedra.

Fun show this week! In the first half TC and Randy catch up on housekeeping items, including Kroger's very bad week and the United engine debacle, among other things. In the second half, Tron interviews special guest Ross (aka @man_integrated on Twitter, aka HUNTSMAN) about all things logistics across the world.

And remember, watch the chokepoints!

Episode 120: Logistics with HUNTSMAN

Riv week! One of the best stops each and every year in the glitz and glam of Los Angeles. Randy and Tron are joined by friend of the program, and part-time golf scribe, Laz Versalles, to break down the behemoth that is LA. We learn all about LA proper, get great info about little neighborhoods and pockets of the city, and of course, discuss so much more. Enjoy!

Episode 119: City of Angels

Tron and Randy are back to preview Pebble Beach! They do a bit a housekeeping (huge night in the NBA, Kings and Jazz especially!) before getting to their guest this week, Joann Dost. Joann is a longtime Monterey-area resident, former professional golfer, and one of the most prominent golf photographers in the world. She has great first-hand knowledge of the charms and intricacies of the Monterey Peninsula, as well as incredible stories about her first start in professional golf in Australia, moving out to the west coast, hanging with Ansel Adams, and so much more. Her passion and knowledge is unparalleled. Enjoy!

(Note: due to reception, we switched from Zoom to cell phone midway through the interview with Joann, so we apologize for a slight change in audio profile around the 57:27 mark)

Episode 118: Monterey Peninsula

After a bit of house-cleaning in the beginning of the episode (major news in the Grocery Wars!), TC and Randy make the decision to eschew one desert in favor of another on this week's preview episode. For help, they bring in very special guest, Mr. Cody, to ask all about KSA. Cody is a man with a very particular set of skills who has spent quite a bit of time in the region and shares his experiences and insights about the people, the culture, the Royal Family, Vision 2030, and how average Westerners can approach the topic of Saudi Arabia in general. We should note, as part of preparation for this conversation, we all watched Bryan Fogel's new film, "The Dissident", which is available now on Apple TV. For anybody curious it's an enthralling examination of the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. Enjoy!

Episode 117: The Kingdom

We are a tad late this week, but appreciate your patience. As you'll hear, it was truly a fluid situation this week for our very special guest. That guest, Brad Milburn, is a San Diego resident and former Navy SEAL. The military brought him to San Diego several years ago so we pick his brain about living out on the West Coast. From beaches to tacos, and everything in-between, this is a really fun conversation. Also, of course we ask Brad about what it was like training to be a SEAL. Enjoy!

(Note: Brad gives a shout out to Seal Future Foundation towards the end of the episode. They are a great organization providing Navy SEALS support and resources to transition from service into their communities. If you're so inclined, you can find more information at
