Neil and Randy chop it up with Bob Sturm, Dallas-based journalist, radio personality and author. Besides being an avid golfer and NLU fan, for which we're grateful, Bob has spent nearly three decades in radio, currently co-hosting the Hardline show on The Ticket Sports Radio. Bob regales us with an assortment of stories from his time in the business, including a few featuring the infamous Scoops Callahan! Bob is full of life and has great energy, this was a really fun conversation. Enjoy!

Resident Phil fan Big Randy takes us on a journey through Phil Mickelson's career, from winning as an amateur on the PGA Tour, his major heartbreaks, his breakthrough, gambling, controversy, equipment tinkering, and a ton more. There's so much to cover with this one, we struggled to keep it under two hours. Enjoy.

Be the right club, today! YES! Hal Sutton joins us to talk about how much the game has changed in the last twenty years, the 2000 Players Championship, how much he respects what Tiger Woods has done, the 2004 Ryder Cup, and a bunch more. We cover his amateur career, quickly becoming a winner on tour, what contributed to an almost decade long slump, and how he got it back. Thanks a ton to Hal for the time.

Perfect Club time! The Carter Brothers, Tron and Neil, are joined by Mr. Poosh (aka Micah Pueschel of Iration) to analyze not only what makes a good '90s action flick but also what their favorite offerings in the genre are. As the world continues in quarantine, we hope this episode both informs and entertains about the '90s action movie, and maybe even provides an idea or two for future movie nights. Enjoy!

LPGA Tour Commissioner Mike Whan joins the podcast to talk about the decision making process that lead to the LPGA Tour season being postponed, how his team gathered information, the considerations, what it's like to try to reschedule an LPGA Tour event, and how he sees this playing out. He discusses what golf might look like when it comes back, the possibilities of "2 for 1" events, the conversations he's had with sponsors, and a ton more.

Randy, DJ and Neil are joined for an evening by the inimitable Michael Bamberger. Michael is a writer for GOLF Magazine and Golf.com, as well as author of several books. The first portion of this podcast explores his new book, "The Second Life of Tiger Woods". The second half of the podcast gets weirder and looser as the guys talk about more broad subjects of life. Michael's book, out today, is absolutely sensational, as was the time spent with him. Enjoy!

Another new format being put to the test this week, as we each come to the table with three of our best "What If?" guys. There's a lot of different interpretations of what that means, but we explore some of the great "what if?" moments of our lifetimes, how differently a few careers would look with just a stroke here or a stroke there, and some likely forgotten stories and events from over the years. This was a lot of fun.

295 - Top "What If?" Guys & Moments

JT is back sooner than expected due to the quarantine, and he takes (excellent) listener questions in stride for an hour. Topics include playing with Tiger at the Presidents Cup, joking around with Patrick Reed, how he eats during rounds, filling out a schedule, being the son of a club pro, swing thoughts, go-to shots, playing left handed, and a lot more. Thanks to everyone for sending in the questions and to JT for the time.

A special follow up to our Perfect Club episode about "The King of Kong" (Episode 61)! Randy, DJ, and Neil interview the documentary's star, Donkey Kong world record setter, Steve Wiebe. They discuss how the film came to be, if Steve wanted to punch Brian Kuh, and a whole host of things. Steve is teaching high school up in Washington and among other things is the varsity golf coach, having guided his squad to a state championship! We can't thank Steve enough for his time and patience answering our questions, and special shoutout to Sean Kato for the introduction. Enjoy!

Neil pulled some books off the shelves and went to work, doing a deep dive on the life and career of Greg Norman.

If you have not seen the documentary we would encourage you to watch it before listening. It's available on YouTube in its entirety, as well as select streaming and rental services. We hope you have as much fun watching and listening as we did. Enjoy!

From working behind the counter in a pro shop, to selling car stereos, to beating Tiger Woods to win the PGA Championship, Rich Beem has lived a crazy life in golf. And that's just skipping past all of the fun he had along the way. He joins us to chat about his career, the good times on the road, winning his first tour event, broadcasting, and the upcoming Champions Tour career waiting for him. This was an absolute blast, Beemer is a legend.

In this episode Tron and Randy are joined by the LPGA's Megan Khang. Megan discusses her and her family's remarkable, and unlikely, path into the game of golf. She talks about her beginnings as a small child with her father, a stellar amateur career, the decision about whether to attend college or turn professional, and much more. At just 22 years of age, it's easy to forget how young she still is, as she's been a mainstay on LPGA leaderboards for several years now, including competing on the 2019 Solheim Cup team. Enjoy!

(Note: This interview was recorded in November 2019 at the LPGA Tour Championship)

As professional golf goes on an indefinite hiatus due to the coronavirus we discuss a wide range of implications that will affect the Masters, the other majors, the PGA Tour and its members, and much more.

290 - Coronavirus

What a wild week. The Coronavirus sends the sports world into a frenzy, and the Players Championship gets canceled after one (uncompleted) round. We walk through the full disaster, from the tour announcing their new media deal, to not allowing fans, to the eventual cancellation. A lot to unpack here.

March Madness is here! To celebrate the best time of the college basketball calendar Randy talks with writer Matthew Goodman about The City College of New York basketball team, the only squad to ever win both the NCAA and NIT postseason tournaments in the same season. Goodman's book, "The City Game: Triumph, Scandal, and a Legendary Basketball Team," does an incredible job of bringing that historic team to life once again, as well as exploring the burgeoning college basketball industry. As the title suggests, CCNY would find scandal and shame along with their titles, with the seedy underbelly of college athletics, New York City bookmaking, and local politics all being exposed. It's a wonderful read for any basketball fan as we get ready to crown a new champion. Enjoy!

59: Matthew Goodman & "The City Game"
