Maybe the forgotten country in the UK, the TrapDraw heads to Wales this week in conjunction with the Euro Tour to learn a bit about the place. Randy is joined by golf writer and Welshman, James Corrigan, to discuss the joys and beauties of his home land. From sights to see, cities to visit, and courses to play, we think you'll learn a thing or two about the country and maybe even be inspired to visit one day. 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.

DJ sits down with Cody to discuss The Links at Lawsonia located in Green Lake, Wisconsin. This big and bold Langford/Moreau course finished construction in 1930.

Revolutionary at the time and even more so today, this hidden gem deserves all the recognition in the world. For more information on The Link, please check out Andy's work over at thefriedegg.com.
