The boys are back together for a jam-packed episode that starts by diving into the BMW Championship, Solheim Cup, PGA TOUR Championship, Korn Ferry Tour Championship, and the Ryder Cup.

We run through some thoughts on fan conduct on the PGA TOUR, Phil Mickelson's rebuke of the USGA, Patrick Cantlay's putting, the soaring auction price for a Tiger Woods back-up putter, and discuss whether slope on rangefinders should be allowed in tournaments.

Joining us for a feature interview for the first time in two years is Team Canada member Noah Steele who details how his amateur career was transformed by his recent win on the Mackenzie Tour - PGA TOUR Canada. He tells us what it was like to be the first amateur to win on the tour in almost 20 years, how he kept it together going down the stretch, and what his plans are for his immediate future.

The MailBag returns with questions on golf travel in Prince Edward Island, the all-female broadcast crew that will be used at the ShopRite LPGA Classic, being a guest at a private club, our favourite messages that we received this year, and we share the oddest things we have witnessed in golf this summer.

In the tip of the week we talk about playing the right speed in putting.

Plenty to listen to; enjoy the show.

Scotty is away again as he visits family in P.E.I. so that means Stefan has called in the relievers yet again. PGA Tour players Will Wilcox and Mark Baldwin join the show to co-host.

The boys are back together and oh, do they have plenty to talk about.

We take a wander over the last two weeks for some deep talk on golf in the Olympics, leading to some fun chatter about what we would and would not be good at in the games.

Also on the slate is discussion about the latest World Golf Championship event, the end of the regular season on the PGA TOUR, and we explore and give opinions on some other recent dramas on the circuit.

In the feature interview we are joined by the man in charge of creating irons at TaylorMade Golf, Matt Bovee, who takes us deep inside the new P-790 irons and even shares some thoughts about working with Collin Morikawa, the now two-time major winner.

In the Mail Bag, we address the importance (or lack of it) of winning on the PGA TOUR, how to get your buddies to play faster without being a jerk, whether golf should be in the Olympics, and reveal our current handicaps.

The Tip of The Week is back and Scott explains a little about the trail shoulder and how it works in the backswing to give you a more functional path for your golf club.

It's an interview heavy episode this week as Stefan is off and Scott takes the reigns.

The focus is on an interview we conducted earlier this year with PGA of Canada Professionals Kevin and Jame Haime. The father and son carry on the tradition of golf professionals in the family started by Kevin's father, Peter, and that also includes Kevin's brother, John, a playing professional for some time.

We discuss the nuances of being involved in golf as a family business - the advantages, the challenges, and how the the business has changed over the years. That includes plenty of talk about the evolution of golf coaching and how each generation can learn from each other.

Through the long history of the Canadian Tour, there have been many talented golfers. Some have ascended to become regulars on the PGA TOUR while many others fell just short of that pinnacle, despite having what seemed like equal abilities.

Canada's Stuart Anderson, who won 4 times on the TOUR, including two TOUR Championships, was a player many felt was destined for nothing but success. He certainly achieved that as a two-time representative of his home country at the World Cup, but, like many pro golfers, he did not quite make it to the PGA TOUR on a full-time basis.

Admired by his peers, the gregarious Anderson has continued to love the game of golf, despite giving it up for a few years to focus on other parts of his life.

He joins us on TeeTalk for a lengthy discussion about his career, time on the road, people he has played with, experiences he has had, and why he is now returning to the game in multiple ways.

It's an earnest discussion and we think you'll enjoy his story.

Episode 124: The Open Wrap-Up & Mid-Season Chatter

No guest this week but it's not necessary because it is a full episode with plenty to talk about from the world of golf.

We find out why Stefan's golf game should be on a milk carton and what he did on the range that will make you shake your head.

A lot of storylines to talk about coming from The Open - Morikawa's win, the course, and being the last men's major of the season, we break down all of it and sum up the week that was with our usual "score" assignment to the Birdies, Bogeys, Pars, and Honourable Mentions.

On the heels of that we rank the last 7 men's majors that have been compressed into a short schedule, bring back the "Role Play" game, sort through a ton of Mail Bag questions (including a really strange one), and wrap it up with a Tip of Week about chasing driver distance.

Episode 123: The Open Preview. Guest: Ru MacDonald, European Tour/Scottish Golf Podcast

A full show this week as we put the spotlight on The Open as it returns after it was cancelled in 2020.

Lots of chatter about the week that was and what we can expect of the 149th Open Championship at Royal St Georges.

We draft players, take a tour through the storylines we want and don't want to see, and give you some bets to consider.

The Mail Bag questions are all about The Open, and in the Tip of the Week we help you be a better iron player through a subtle change in the timing of your swing.

Our feature guest is Ru MacDonald, the Content Manager for the European Tour, who joins us from Royal St Georges for some perspective on the course and the European Tour players we need to watch for. He also puts on his Scottish Golf Podcast hat as we talk about the expected upcoming surge in golf travel.
