Joining us on the show this week is a guest we have wanted to have on for some time, Blair Bursey. The Gander, Newfoundland-raised pro, still just 24-years-old, made his mark this past year on the Mackenzie Tour - PGA TOUR Canada. He was a consistent performer all season long, always lurking around the top of the leaderboard, and finished up his Canadian campaign with a victory in Victoria at the Reliance Properties DCBank Open.

The win propelled the lefty to 2nd place in the season-long points list and secured his status on the circuit for 2022.

Bursey joins us to share his story from being a small town kid who made his way to Utah for NCAA Division 1 golf, and now travels the world pursuing his goal of playing amongst the best golfers in the world.

Outside of the interview, we have plenty of talk about the LPGA and PGA TOUR, some great questions from listeners, as always, and we offer a golf tip that you can use this winter to improve your ball-striking.

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.

You cannot be anyone but yourself, and pro golfer Will Wilcox certainly does not try to mask who he is.

You'll find that out on this episode where the Mackenzie Tour and Korn Ferry Tour winner joins in to catch us up on his world.

Currently playing the Korn Ferry Tour, the former PGA TOUR member lets you inside his life in a fun conversation. He shares his putting woes, trial and tribulations with caddies, drops knowledge about the famous in-flight dust-up between his pal Steve Marino and Ernie Els, and let's you know exactly what he plans to be doing if his career path does not head in the right direction. We also get his take on Tony Romo playing tour events on Sponsor's Exemptions.

In the coversation he also talks about his time in Canada on the Mackenzie Tour and how a random invite led him to playing the circuit and winning the Dakota Dunes Classic. His caddy story alone from that event is worth the listen.

in the balance of the show we have a chat about Brooke Henderson and her 10th LPGA TOUR win, break down the Zurich Classic in New Orleans, and Scott challenges Stefan with the PGA TOUR Money list game.

In the MailBag, we talk WITB for us, wedge buying, our favorite rounds of golf in 2020, and how good you should be before you try and qualify for an event on a PGA TOUR-affiliated tour.
