    380: The AI Iron Fitting, Left-Handed Miracles, and Pebble Beach Caddy Drama

    Welcome to Episode 380 of The Chasing Daylight Podcast! This episode offers a special look into our completely unscripted "after show" format, normally reserved for premium subscribers. Recorded last week but scheduled to hit the airwaves Thursday morning, right before we teed off at Landman in Nebraska, this episode is just us talking golf with no script and no agenda.  Topics covered in this episode: We introduce our unscripted "after show" podcast format. Matt details his incredible left-handed trouble shots from the bushes. We debate the tough question of whether it is better to have kids at 16 or 40. The crew reminisces about the time they beat Derek Carr in a golf tournament and had to sit through a church sermon afterward. We discuss potential future golf trips to Big Cedar or Dismal River. Matt shares how he used Google Gemini to analyze his quad data to fix a left pull with his irons. Matt explains how AI recommended switching to a lighter regular-flex shaft to stop the clubface from flipping. Dan talks about his experience testing the new Titleist drivers with a pushy fitter out at Paiute. We dive into the new California laws that affect Pebble Beach caddies, classifying them as hourly employees rather than independent contractors.Support the show

    Chasing Darkness: Episode 376 Aftershow

    A long neck putter shouldn’t feel like a life decision, but somehow it is. We start this after show in full gearhead mode, breaking down why a more face-balanced long neck can tighten your start line and make your stroke more repeatable. Matt talks through testing sessions with data, why pulling lead tape changed his tempo, and how brutal punched, sanded, watered greens can expose what’s real in your putting and what’s just “normal conditions.”Then we shift into golf club fitting reality, including the kind of range interaction that makes every fitter wince: a player convinced he needs a 47-inch driver who blames the club after a few ugly swings. It turns into a straight talk moment about shaft length, strike pattern, expectations, and basic fitting etiquette. If you’ve ever wondered why a driver fitting goes sideways, this story nails it.We also hit budget golf gear that performs, including Maltby putters that feel way above their price, plus a quick detour into “zero torque” curiosity. After that it’s wedges: why certain wedge flex shafts can feel whippy or “late,” how stiffer profiles can clean up contact, and what we’re swapping next. Along the way we talk Garsen grips, sponsorship momentum, and how community golf culture spreads products faster than traditional marketing.And yes, we finally address the question no one wants to ask on the first tee: what’s the best plan when you have to go on the golf course? Listen through, then subscribe, share it with a golf buddy, and leave a review. What club change or on-course rule would instantly improve your next round?
