479 - Wednesday Ryder Cup Preview

We're back this week ahead of the Ryder Cup, and of course we're headed to Sheboygan, WI! TC and Randy catch up on only the most important news of the last few weeks before chatting with special guest, Sheboygan native, and 3x-winner on the LPGA Tour, Martha Nause. Martha had a long, successful career in professional golf, including a win at the 1994 du Maurier Classic, a major championship. She helps the guys learn all about her home city and state. Enjoy!

Before we get too deep into the breakdowns of Team USA and Team Europe, MAX HOMA WON AGAIN! Congrats to Max as we listen back to a great segment from his 2018 appearance on the pod shortly after he earned his way back to the PGA Tour. After that, Ryder Cup week is officially here and we call in Jim "Bones" Mackay and Jamie Kennedy for their thoughts on the upcoming matches at Whistling Straits.

Cullen is located in Moray, on the Moray Firth, an old fishing village that is as quaint and picturesque as an old Scottish fishing village connotes. Cullen is the type of course where nearly six months later I can remember damn near every hole and every shot I hit that day. It’s a course I think about often, replaying again and again in mind. It captured our group’s imagination, and as such, I couldn’t recommend any more highly making the hour and twenty minute drive from Cruden Bay up to Cullen for a spin (or two) around the links. Enjoy!

Designed by Old Tom Morris and opened in 1899, Cruden Bay was redesigned to the current layout by Tom Simpson and Herbert Fowler in 1926. The golf course offers an internationally famous golfing experience, old-fashioned links golf at its best. Enjoy!

After Steve Stricker unveiled his six captain's picks we fired up the pod to record a Ryder Cup preview with two of our favorite guests: Kyle Porter of CBS and Kevin Van Valkenburg from ESPN. We break down who Captain Stricker chose to complete his team, who he left out of the squad, potential pairings for foursomes and fourballs, Team Europe, the setup at Whistling Straits, and some listener questions as well.

NOTE: we recorded this episode mid-week before the European captain's picks were announced.

It is believed that golf has been played on the links of Elie in the East Neuk of Fife since the 16th century. Most historians attribute the design of the current layout to Old Tom Morris in 1895. James Braid, the legendary 5 time Champion Golfer of The Year, and golf course Architect, was born in the adjacent village of Earlsferry in 1870. He won his first tournament at age 8 on the links at Elie. Enjoy!

Crash Course, Episode 40: Elie

A host of elements make the Old Course what it is. Most often people focus on the history of the course, and for good reason. Simultaneously, however, the history sometimes detracts from what makes the course truly special. If one were to take away the Open Championship history and the design’s overarching influence on the game of golf you’d have the most fun golf course in the world. Enjoy!

Crash Course, Episode 39: The Old Course

Ahead of this week's BMW PGA Championship, Luke Donald joins the pod to discus the event, his ascension to becoming the top ranked player in the world, his style of game and his keys to achieving success on tour, plus a preview of his upcoming role as an assistant captain on the European Ryder Cup team.

It's Solheim Cup Week and the TrapDraw heads to Toledo, Ohio!
