More depth than most
Garrett has a depth of analysis & thought that separates his from many golf podcasts
Thought provoking & with a nod of the head to the game’s history & complexity, rather than just mainstream pop topics

Informatively brilliant
I’ve been a listener for a few years and I can guarantee that if you love the nitty gritty of golf that you’ll love this Pod.
When listened to in parallel with the Shotgun Start, you’ll have enough content to get you through the week.
Great stuff.
On the pulse of professional golf and golf architecture
A must listen if you’re a golf fan. These guys have fantastic ideas and in hindsight have predicted a lot of the downfall that has occurred in professional Golf over the past six months (they’ve been talking about it for 5+ years). If only someone at the tour was listening to them maybe some of this could’ve been avoided. In fact, I wonder if anyone at the tour has actually reached out to Andy or Garrett or Brendan to ask their opinion on any of the issues facing the tour? Or conversely, has Andy or Garrett or Brendan reached out to them offering some advice? Great work gang, keep it up
