Fore Play

Skateboarding icon Ryan Sheckler (01:14:44) joins the show. Like all of us, he’s got the golf bug and he’s got it bad. We delve into being a child prodigy, turning pro at age 14, cool skateboarding vs golf lingo, and the similarities between improving one’s golf game and learning new tricks. Before Ryan, we discuss Riggs’ trip to Prairie Dunes in Kansas, not being a morning podcast and much more.

Rory wins and, naturally, delivers several fantastic quotes. Rickie contends. Morikawa threatens. Also — it’s spooky season. Do you like to be scared? Terrified? Anxious watching movies or shows or walking through haunted houses? Have you watched Squid Game? Should we create Golf Squid Game? When will golf one day figure out golf coverage?

Riggs takes the squad on a historical journey looking into the rules of golf over the past 800 years. Some old school rules blow our minds and make us consider bringing them back. In news, Bryson changed his putting based on the study of where one strikes the dimple on a golf ball… and Frankie is all for it. We also get an update on Frankie’s elbow (not good), Tiger Woods, and more.

Alfonso Ribeiro (01:14:13) joins the show for the third time. Again, he’s incredible, insightful, and full of great stories. But most importantly, our very own Trent Ryan has proven to be a national heartthrob. He stole the hearts of every female in Boston with his live show appearances last week… complete with his luggage. We discuss Trent’s “pop,” new footage of Tiger Woods, Frankie’s wounded arm, Sungjae’s victory, Wolff’s solid play, JR Smith’s college golf debut, Phil improving to 3/4 on the Senior Circuit, and much more.

Guests galore. First, we’re joined by Sub-Par host, former PGA Tour player, and roaster of Lurch, Colt Knost (00:11:37). We discuss the Bud Cauley incident, the MJ lunch photo, get some great stories, and find some true common ground. Then, as we’re on with Colt, Sam Burns (00:52:45) joins the show fresh off winning the Sanderson Farms. We discuss favorite restaurants on the road, hunting, LSU football, pizza reviews, Trent’s bunker woes, and much more.
