TrapDraw Podcast

It's time for one of our favorite traditions--our annual Goals episode! Randy, TC, Soly, DJ and Neil assign a label to the new year, go through their respective 2022 goals, and reveal their new goals for the new year. 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 219: 2023 Goals!

2022 comes to a close on the TrapDraw in fitting style with a chop session featuring TC & Randy. They attempt to work through a robust agenda of only the most important news items from across the globe, including some sports sprinkled in towards the back half. Plus, we'd be remiss not to offer a heartfelt 'thank you' to everyone for listening to the show this year. We'll be back the first week of January with our annual Goals Pod, plus some cool, listener-involved features we're hoping to incorporate into the show next year. Enjoy, have a safe holidays, and see you in 2023!

Episode 218: TC & Randy Chop Session

Today's show is a conversation with writer Stephen Proctor (@SProctorGolf on twitter) about his new book, "The Long Golden Afternoon: Golf's Age of Glory, 1864-1914." This book is an expertly-researched, easy-to-read look into a half-century of the game which sets the stage for the modern age while at the same time dealing with a lot of issues still at the heart of golf today (eg. technology). 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!

Then they dive into a robust NFL discussion--who's winning the season-long NFL team draft, what's up with the Niners, Ravens, and Bengals; and of course so, so much more (including a really interesting conversation around Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow). Enjoy!

Episode 210: TC & Randy Chop Session

Today's show is a conversation between Randy and Jim Hartsell about Jim's new book, "When Revelation Comes". The book is available now through 

 and is Jim's second book. Besides his full-length writing, Jim writes at his website, jhartsellgolf.com, and contributes to a number of places, including The Golfer's Journal, Links Diary, and our own NLU website. 

"When Revelation Comes" is about a trip Jim took to Scotland in August of 2021 in the aftermath of losing his youngest son, Jordan, unexpectedly. It's a beautiful book that will touch on the full range of emotions, and stands both as a love letter to Scotland and Scottish golf, but also about what it means to love, lose, and try to carry on in the wake of an unimaginable tragedy. Enjoy.
