Can a handmade divot tool spark as much excitement as a round at Arcadia Bluffs? Find out as we kick off this episode with Dan's return from Michigan, sharing his golf exploits with Matt, Joe, and Jeremy. We recount our latest outings, including an unforgettable weekend in Mesquite, and shout out to Scott Russo and Unwritten Law for their killer intro music. Joe dives into a passionate rant about the cluttered golf apparel market, emphasizing the need for authentic connections over mere hype. We also reflect on the post-COVID boom in golf and how celebrities have influenced the sport.
Have you ever wondered if Peter Millar polos are worth the splurge compared to Sunday Swagger? We break down the quality differences, debate their value, and discuss finding top-notch gear without breaking the bank. The conversation heats up as we compare custom-fitted golf wedges to off-the-shelf options, weighing the merits of personalized fittings against mass-produced clubs. Rising golf equipment costs are on our radar, too, as we discuss how these trends impact our buying decisions and what it means for the average golfer.
Get ready for a wild ride as we recount an egg protein shake mishap on a flight that left everyone gasping for air. We also discuss Rory McIlroy's recent drama and speculate on how it might affect his game. Our adventures continue with a unique tournament called "The Duel" at the Loop of Forest Dunes, where Dan experiences the thrill of playing the course in reverse. We cover everything from Michigan's top golf courses to the newest gear, like the Canon laser rangefinder and Titleist's GT driver. Plus, we reflect on our latest VGN event at Falcon Ridge, share some fun stories, and reveal our favorite hidden gems around Las Vegas. Don't miss this jam-packed episode filled with laughter, insights, and plenty of golf chatter!
