Customer Reviews
Great show, I love the variety of topics
This podcast reminds me why I love the game of golf, the people who play it, and the courses we play. Matt and The Professor have created such an interesting list of topics and guests. Thank you!
Great find, even better podcast
Awesome episode with Grant. Didn’t really get into podcasts up until six months ago. Grant sounds like he genuinely loves the game and has great history to go with it. I’ll be supporting Eagles and Arrows for sure. Thanks again for the episode.
Same
Same old story nowadays. It’s ok for certain people to have there own clubs, groups etc but not ok for other people. I’m not part of any club but anyone should have the right to be exclusive to whatever they want just like others
