I would watch anyone play the loop at forest dunes. Need a wider variety of courses there are so many unique venues across the country lets get out there
I just finished listening to this podcast on Spotify. I have a few thoughts on the LPGA and the outgoing CEO. I’m an avid fan of golf, and much more than a casual fan of the LPGA. I regularly attend the Shop-Rite classic in NJ. I had absolutely no idea that 2025 is the 75th anniversary. What a colossal failure on the part of the organization and the (outgoing) CEO. I enjoy using the PGA app. The integration of the tours, the players, the stats, the schedule is excellent. Live updates of current tournaments is excellent. But, not the LPGA. If you select the drop down and see The Tour, Korn Ferry, Champions … the same level of coverage for all the directly owned entities. The LPGA is there, but select it and … you get redirected out of the app and out onto the LPGA website. Fail … The CEO is ultimately responsible for these failures. The lack of comments by the CME CEO recently spelled the end for her. What’s next? It’s time for a CEO that’s capable of leading this organization, regardless of gender. Hire the best person that will lift this tour out of these doldrums. And wouldn’t it be a great PR grab if the LPGA led by their best players took steps to eradicate slow play. Three strikes and you’re out - first a warning, then a shot penalty, then DQ. More than once in a 12 month period, off the tour and back to Q school to requalify. Lead the way on this issue - grab the spotlight.
Golf has always had great personalities - except in this money age on the PGA TOUR its killed the spontaneity and the personalities - Tiger wasn’t one of them either was Jack - but Seve, Demarret, champagne Tony, Walter Hagen etc 33:56
The King, Arnold Palmer, was at the top of the heap of great personalities. Also, Trevino brought many to the game who otherwise would have never thought about the game.

This was like listening to paint dry.
Maybe you’re just not that into golf, casual
But yet you were here listening to the drying paint.
