haha not trying to harsh just offering hopefully constructive feedback. I enjoy listening to both you guys. Looking forward to next week
I would say more than 70% of golfers don’t know the length of their drivers.
And if we go by what the Cally Tour Van guys told us……even the OEMs don’t consistently measure length…..so maybe damn near 90% of us don’t really know!
I damn near just spit out my coffee when Rob mentioned the proficiency test! Ahahahaah! One can dream!
Been toying with getting another shorter shaft after so many mentions around here.
Agree on JT commentating. It was fun to hear him drop some funny Tiger related isms. Like the "Meow" putt comment.
Fun idea by Dan to mix in players on commentating. It would be really fun to get a taste of each players personality and what they would focus on as it relates to commentating. Be it more fun banter or serious analysis type stuff.
That’s not related to Tiger.
I don’t know haha. It would be an interesting exercise. Even the guys who miss the cut can provide good insight on shots or strategies, but hopefully they would stick to that and not try to hard to be funny or in the show.
I laughed out loud
Yep! Lots of member mentions on the podcast this week:
Also one I forgot, was "dress codes should be relaxed / abolished," which LOTS of THPers are in favor of. I’m going to guess @Canadan is not one of those.

I saw that one…. And was eagerly awaiting it hahahaha
HELL no I’m not for it!
If i ever get to golf with dan, I am going to wear either joggers or jeans, mock turtle untucked, and a backwards hat/bucket/safari hat.
oh and of(f) course, all while discussing how I managed to turn a profit on my rare/limited release blade iron headcovers with canada as the graphic
New Wrangler line?

Untucked mock turtle is super casual yet aggressive at the same time.

Would I play a Tour Course at the tour length, probably not. I hit it decently far, but don’t want to feel like I have to overhit every shot just to get there, or get close. That would not be fun, and I’d want to enjoy myself as much as I could on a course like that.
As for having PGA pros doing come on-course announcing, yes please! I think you’ll get a better connection between the pros and fans. I also think this is a great thing the European tour does well. It engages the fans and the players, and it shows a lighter more human element to these players. Yes please! Callaway was set to do this with 2 college programs before Covid, and I think it would have been huge for college golf. Follow them around, have tons of mic’s and cameras, introduce college golf to a much wider audience!
On another note, my neighbor once said he was a man of a 1/4", because he needed to get everything just right. The joke was on him with that comment, because I now call him a man of a 1/4" all the time. Based on the shaft length conversation, I might have to call @Canadan a man of a 1/4" as well .
"its 2 strokes for OB correct, is that correct?" @HipCheck LOL that was kind of funny
Because like Dan doesn’t hit into bunkers, I just don’t hit it OB.

That’s weird.
Should be fixed now.
yes.. it works now.
BTW….just got to driver length……Whatever length @JB sent me. I’d guess is the stock length for an Epic Flash with Smoke Black. But I honestly do not know it’s length.
It happens

I know what the grass and the soundcloud is…
What’s the big white thing in the middle?
I have no idea how long my driver is and I doubt I did when I bought it from the Internets 7+ years ago ?
Ugh it would take me at least 2 tries to get that SoundCloud out of the sand…
just grab it with the ball retriever
Being 2 dimensional, you’ll probably need one of those alligator head thingies that has the jaws that close when you squeeze the grip.
Well they make those 3D cardboard models. I figure we’d adapt that technology.
It’s very hard to hit a cardboard box out of sand. Especially, plugged like that. Don’t ask me how I know.
No way, I can reel in anything with my trusty ball retriever. Lots of experience ?
haha, the floppy ball retriever was great.
standard’ish!
haha, maybe I should have said more than 90% have no idea.
What do you guys want us to talk about this? Anything funny happen on the course this weekend worth discussing?
