This Friday episode comes to you from a Santa Monica AirBnb after Andy and Brendan spent a full day out at Riviera chasing stars and mules alike. They discuss the thirstiest boy wedging his way into more camera time in what has become an annual Genesis tradition. They also discuss Tiger’s return to competitive PGA Tour golf and his ghastly shank at the end of his round. There’s appreciation for seeing some high level golf up close and personal again, but also questions about whether the PGA Tour is collectively in a grumpy state right now. Andy empties his notebook with some amusing details about parrots, the “Hovland line” at 15, and the Zalatoris comeback. They close with an SGS Golf Advice question on what’s permissible weight for a bag and what you need to cut out for the caddie’s sake. How many balls is the perfect number? Before they sign off, they chat about Brendan’s low Uber rating and reheat the Just-A-Guy debate.
