    The Open Championship Recap: Ryan Fox Wins, Bryson DeChambeau's Penalty, and more| Ep. 9

    Brian Manzella and Sam Osborne break down everything that happened at The Open Championship, and everything golf media won't say about it. Ryan Fox came from outside the top 50 in the world to beat Sam Burns down the stretch, taking two brutal breaks on 15 and 17 without so much as a raised eyebrow. TV gave Fox credit for staying cool. What nobody mentioned is that Sam Burns has now missed the putts that mattered the last couple of times he had a chance to win a major. That's the story the broadcast skipped. Then the big one: Bryson DeChambeau's two-stroke penalty for improving his lie in the second round. Brian and Sam agree the ruling was correct. They also agree it's a double standard, because this happens on tour constantly and only gets called when the cameras and the crowds are on you. From Dustin Johnson in 2019 at Royal Portrush and this year with Wyndham Clark at Shinnecock to the questions around Tiger, the history here is longer than the broadcast wants to admit. Plus: Rory McIlroy says he doesn't care about his legacy, and neither host is buying it. Why Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns seem allergic to stardom. How $100 million in the bank changed player motivation compared to the Nicklaus and Watson era. And a full teardown of NBC and Peacock's Open coverage: Adam Scott and Russell Henley finished ninth and barely got a single shot on air, Kevin Kisner has been neutered by producers, and Johnny Miller remains the gold standard nobody will let anyone copy. Sam also owns up to his own tournament meltdown, including back-to-back double and triple bogey, and teases the side saddle putting conversation coming in a future episode. Next up on No More Lies: the second ten of the most influential golf books of all time, and the next installment of the top 100 golf swings. No More Lies is golf without the spin. Two veterans saying what golf media won't. Be your own coach.

    Ben Hogan Over Tiger Woods for the Greatest Swing Ever | No More Lies Ep. 8

    Brian Manzella has stood next to more great ball strikers than almost anyone alive. He watched Jack Nicklaus play 600 holes. He sat next to Lee Trevino. He watched Byron Nelson hit the whole bag. He was at Valhalla for prime Tiger. So when he ranks the greatest golf swings of all time, it is not a listicle. It is a verdict from someone who was actually there. In this episode Brian unveils the 12th edition of his Top 100 Golf Swings of All Time, and he and Sam Osborne break down the top 10 one by one. Sam had never seen the list, so every reaction is live and unscripted. They cover Ben Hogan at No. 1, why the 2005 Tiger swing edged out 2000, Sam Snead's impossibly quiet head, the deliberate genius of Jack Nicklaus's flying right elbow, Johnny Miller's weak grip and laser irons, and the pick nobody sees coming at No. 6. Plus the argument that ties the whole list together: course management is worthless if you cannot actually hit the shot. The full top 10: Hogan, Woods, Snead, Nicklaus, Miller, Couples, Wright, Trevino, Nelson, McIlroy. Brian Manzella is Golf Digest's #14-ranked teacher in America. Sam Osborne is a former touring pro. Together they give you golf history the way it actually happened, with no spin. Full video on YouTube at @funnelgolfx. New episodes of No More Lies every Monday.

    AI Ranked the 20 Best Golf Books Ever. It Got #1 Wrong. | No More Lies Ep. 7

    We asked AI to rank the 20 most influential golf instruction books in history. Then we tore the list apart. Brian Manzella, Golf Digest's #14-ranked teacher in America, and former touring pro Sam Osborne react to Grok's top 10: Harvey Penick's Little Red Book, Ben Hogan's Five Lessons, The Golfing Machine, Bob Rotella, Dave Pelz, Mark Broadie and more. In this episode: Why Hogan's "Five Lessons" actually contains eight fundamentals, and why the claim that it ruins slicers is baloney. The one grip picture in the book Brian says you should not copy. The Golfing Machine: the hardest book to find, the worst-written book on the list, and still the most influential book in golf instruction today. It's not close. The putting setup that had Brian rolling everything in from eight feet (a Pelz putting track and a training aid called The Plip, if you can find one on eBay). How Bob Rotella invented the tour mental coach, how Mark Broadie's strokes gained proved the real separator between golfers is the 200-yard shot, and the one book Grok left off the list entirely that belongs in the top ten.

    The Ugliest Fight in Golf Instruction | Ep. 6

    Golf instruction has a war going on, and this week Brian and Sam walk straight into it. Brian Manzella (Golf Digest's #14-ranked teacher in America) and Sam Osborne (former touring pro) trace Stack & Tilt back to its real roots: Homer Kelley's The Golfing Machine, Mac O'Grady's MORAD, and the symposiums that shaped a generation of teachers. Sam shares what happened when he actually tried the method as a tour player, and Brian makes the case for why no single system will ever take over golf, backed by GEARS data sitting right there in the room. Also in this episode: Brian brings TrackMan proof that at 64 he can still get it out there (103.9 mph club head, 155.4 ball speed), and the guys debate whether distance is something you're born with. Sam checks in from the Ray Fisher amateur in Wisconsin and explains what it's really like teeing it up against college kids half his age, plus his honest take on whether ex-pros getting amateur status back is fair. On the pro side: why Brian and Sam think the ball rollback died under Tour pressure, what the two-tier PGA Tour actually means for players (and the hometown-event problem nobody's talking about), and Sam's verdict on the Shinnecock setup from a guy who's played a U.S. Open himself. No gurus. No systems. No spin. New episodes every week. Subscribe so you don't miss one.

    Bryson, Gemini, and Why AI Could Wipe Out Half of Golf Instruction | Ep. 5

    Bryson DeChambeau went to the press and said AI helped fix his golf swing, name-dropping Google Gemini and tossing out terms like alpha torque, gamma torque, and passive squaring. Brian Manzella and Sam Osborne were not buying it. In Episode 5 of No More Lies, the two veterans break down Bryson's AI press conference line by line: what he got right, what he got wrong, and why the idea of "passive squaring" does not survive contact with the actual physics. Brian explains real 6D club kinetics. Then it gets bigger. The guys make the case that AI and swing apps will wipe out the middle tier of golf instruction within five years, why the top and the bottom of the market survive, and what that means for anyone teaching the game. Plus the gutting of Sports Illustrated's golf desk, why golf magazines always ducked the hard instruction stories, and a Jack Nicklaus equipment story that will stop you cold. Golf without the spin. Two veterans saying what golf media won't. Hosted by Brian Manzella, Golf Digest's #14-ranked teacher in America, and Sam Osborne, former touring pro. New episodes weekly.

    The Ball Goes Too Far. Here's Who Won't Admit It. | No More Lies Ep. 4

    Brian Manzella and Sam Osborne take on the loudest fight in golf: the distance debate. Both land on the same side, then explain why the people pushing hardest against a rollback are the ones with the most money on the line. In Episode 4: Why the pro game has outgrown its own golf coursesThe case that a shorter, spinnier ball brings real skill back (long irons into par 4s again)Why the "rolled-back ball still goes 375" story is marketing, not factA pilot program that would settle the whole argument with real data instead of noiseThe origin story: the D-plane video, the trip to Ping, Dr. Kwon's pressure plates, and the night Brandel Chamblee bet he could read TrackMan numbers off the ball, a dollar a ball No gurus. No patented systems. Two veterans saying what golf media won't. New episodes every Monday. Watch, then tell us where we're wrong in the comments. #golfpodcast

    Brian Got Banned From Every Golf Forum. So He Built His Own | Ep. 3

    Before YouTube. Before Instagram. Before anyone was farming golf tips for engagement, the real arguments happened on message boards at 2am. Brian Manzella was there for all of it. In this episode, Brian and Sam trace the strange, scrappy history of golf instruction online, from a clunky Macintosh in 1996 to the forum that genuinely changed how the game gets taught. What's inside: Why Brian got banned from forum after forum for one heretical idea: the clubface, not your path, is what makes you slice The six-page Teacher of the Year application he dropped into a thread to settle the credentials argument (it got him banned again) The David Toms story at English Turn: a towel, a hurdle drill, and a mishit that rolled straight through David Duval's legs on the next bay. Toms went on to lap the field at Quail Hollow How Brian built his own forum and watched it hit 30,000 members Sam discovering the whole thing from across the pond as "Slammin' Sam 2" The Golfing Machine wars, the Atlanta school that fell apart the same week as Katrina, and why the best ideas usually won anyway. No gurus. No patented systems. Just two guys who lived inside the game telling you how it actually went down. New episodes every week.

    Brian Manzella on the Alpha War Golf Won't Talk About | Ep. 2

    In Episode 2 of No More Lies, Brian Manzella and Sam Osborne open up the most contentious story in modern golf instruction: the Alpha War. Manzella traces 12 years of golf science, from the collapse of the Golfing Machine to the rise of club kinetics and Jacobs 3D, and names the names most teachers won't. Along the way: how the work rebuilt Padraig Harrington's career, why the PGA Tour looked like "a bunch of babies" during the LIV era, the gutting of Q School, and a broadcast booth that refuses to tell you what is actually happening in a golf swing.
