    Episode 213: The Economics of Golf

    Peter Howitt won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2025 for his theory of creative destruction: the idea that innovation drives growth by rendering the old obsolete. He also lives on the 10th tee of a Tom Fazio golf course in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and golf is the only thing that can quiet his beautiful mind. On this episode of the TGJ Podcast, he joins Tom Coyne to break down the economics of golf: why Prestwick is a textbook case of obsolescence, what the Pro V1 did to the wound ball, why rolling back the golf ball fails as economic policy, and what LIV's disruption of the PGA Tour reveals about competition, business stealing, and superstar markets. You'll see the game differently after this one. The Golfer's Journal and this podcast are made possible by reader support.

    Episode 212: Jimmy Dunne’s Guide to Shinnecock

    Nobody knows Shinnecock like Jimmy Dunne. A South Shore Long Island kid who caddied and painted houses in the summers, Dunne played Shinnecock at 16 after landing a painting job at a member's house in Southampton. He walked off the 18th convinced it was the greatest golf course in the world. Now the president of Seminole GC and a member at Augusta National, Pine Valley, and Cypress Point, he still feels that way. On this episode of the TGJ Podcast, Tom Coyne joins Dunne in his Southampton golf shrine to share what he loves about Shinnecock and preview the U.S. Open. Dunne also discusses his legendary 63 at Shinnecock, how memorizing every caddie's name at Augusta became a dealmaker's cheat code, and what it was like helping steer the PGA Tour through its war with LIV. It’s a rare look at one of the world’s most iconic grounds through the eyes of someone who’s played them all. The Golfer's Journal and this podcast are made possible by reader support.

    Episode 211: Taylor Twellman Previews the World Cup and Shinnecock

    How big of a golf sicko is Apple TV’s lead soccer analyst Taylor Twellman? In 2018, Twellman—who retired in 2010 as MLS's all-time leading scorer and was at that point at ESPN—unleashed what is still the most viral rant in US soccer history when the Americans failed to make the World Cup. What most don’t know is that the next day he was set to embark on a four-day golf bender through Shinnecock Hills, National Golf Links, Sebonack and Friar's Head. The rant made him an overnight sensation, and forced Twellman to stay in the studio. But as he explains to TGJ’s Travis Hill, he’s so hooked on golf that he’ll forever regret missing the trip. In this episode, Twellman discusses the importance of golf in his life, breaks down how the USMNT can make a run at the 2026 World Cup, and explains why Argentina is the Bryson DeChambeau of this summer’s competition.

    Episode 209: How To Win At Aronimink

    Nobody knows Aronimink like Director of Golf Jeff Kiddie. He's spent the last 18 years preparing one of golf's oldest clubs for big moments. Now comes the biggest yet: the 2026 PGA Championship, returning to the Philadelphia area for the first time since Gary Player hoisted the Wanamaker Trophy at Aronimink in 1962. On this episode of the TGJ Podcast, Kiddie joins host Tom Coyne in the clubhouse to preview the tournament: what makes this par-70 Donald Ross layout so uniquely demanding, what the 2017 Gil Hanse restoration returned to the course, and a hole-by-hole breakdown that reveals where the championship will be won and lost.

    Episode 208: Quiet, Please

    It's been a fast and noisy start to the 2026 golf season. So, today we're offering a change of pace. Last year, TGJ Editor Tom Coyne escaped to the woods of New York to ruminate on what golf has given him. A week later, he emerged with the foundation of a new book. His words, paired with primary photography from Kohjiro Kinno and Christian Hafer, make up Quiet, Please—a 250-page, large-format hardcover book from The Golfer's Journal. It is, in every way, the opposite of your feed. In this episode, Coyne reflects on the creative process and reads a selection of passages that celebrate the stillness and beauty this game provides—if you listen closely. Find a peaceful spot, pour yourself something dark, and settle in. You deserve this.  To receive your copy, become a Premium member at golfersjournal.com/quietplease.

    Episode 207: Ludvig Åberg Breaks Down Every Hole at Augusta National

    Most players need years to process Augusta National’s intricacies. Ludvig Åberg already has a runner up and a top 10 in his first two Masters. We sat down with the Swedish phenom ahead to examine every hole at Augusta National. From the opening tee shot to the approach on 18, Åberg breaks down the shots he sees—where to miss, where not to miss, what the wind does, preferred ball flights, how the grain lies, and the nuances in the greens you can’t see on TV.  Along the way, Åberg explains why he flights almost every iron shot at Augusta, reveals the one shot he'd like a mulligan on, explains what makes Scottie Scheffler so brilliant, and shares his theory on the mythical pull of Rae's Creek. Plus: his Lego obsession, his Champions Dinner menu, and the age-old debate of Method Man vs. ABBA. The Golfer's Journal and this podcast are made possible by reader support.

    Episode 206: The True Story Of The Patch

    You are about to become intimately familiar with a previously unknown golf course. For decades, Augusta Municipal Golf Course was the scruffy public track where the locals played. The poor kids from the housing projects next door called it the Patch. A few years ago, Augusta National adopted the course and poured a ton of resources back into it. Next week, the shiny new Patch course will be unveiled to a flood of headlines. But in order to understand where it is today, we must understand the course’s past. For that, Dr. Gregory McCord sat down with host Tom Coyne. McCord was one of those housing-project kids, and he’s written a book about growing up in the Patch. He gives us the real story of life at the course, from stealing golf balls as a kid, to the summer job there that inspired him to better things, to the chance birdie on 16 that put him on a Greyhound to a college scholarship. As the golf world turns to Augusta National, this is the rare time that a story happening outside its gates might be even more interesting.
