    390: Masters Tickets, Tour-Issue Secrets & The Club Fitting Truth with Aarik Greenley

    Welcome to Episode 390 of The Chasing Daylight Podcast!  With Dad (Matt) calling in from the road and Jeremy traveling the globe, Joe and Dan take the wheel for a marathon 3-hour episode. We are joined by the one and only Aarik Greenley—former tour club builder and our resident golf equipment expert—who holds nothing back on the reality of the golf gear industry. From massive personal announcements to debunking the biggest myths in club fitting, this episode is packed with unfiltered golf talk.  In this episode, we cover: Dan reveals the monumental news that he was selected in the lottery for 2027 Masters tickets and that the CPD will be attending the Wednesday Par 3 contest. Aarik Greenley shares his journey from being a sponsored skateboarder in his youth to building clubs for PGA Tour players. We get an insider's breakdown on the massive differences between off-the-rack retail golf clubs and actual tour-issued equipment. The crew debates Bryson DeChambeau’s controversial grass-stomping moment at the US Open and the current state of golf rules. Eric explains why a mallet putter wouldn't have changed Tiger Woods' historic dominance because his ball striking was already otherworldly. We uncover the truth behind mass-produced Scotty Cameron putters and why tour pros often play with painted shafts to match marketing campaigns. Eric defends his hot take on why he refuses to go on a Bandon Dunes golf trip, while sharing an incredible story about his time at the historic Chicago Golf Club. We announce live winners for two dozen TaylorMade TP5 golf balls alongside exclusive Trap Golf and Hitting Greens stickers.Make sure you are following the show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-chasing-daylight-podcast/id1464725572 Special thanks to our show sponsor: Garsen Grips - https://garsengolf.com And also our show supporters: Gretsch Golf Academy - https://gretschgolf.com/ Las Vegas Golf Superstore - https://www.worldwidegolfshops.com/ Rohrs Golf Co - https://rohrsgolf.com/ CDP Socials: https://www.instagram.com/chasingdaylightpodcast/ https://x.com/CDPGolfShow https://www.facebook.com/chasingdaylightpodcast https://www.tiktok.com/@chasingdaylightpodcast Joe's HittinGreens Channel on Whatnot: https://www.whatnot.com/s/Cdk2Zpku Jeremy's New Golf Brand: https://www.damngoodputter.com/ Follow the Chasing Daylight Crew: Mathew Wangrycht: https://www.instagram.com/1440golf/ Joe Keith: https://www.instagram.com/hittingreens/ Jeremy Martin: https://www.instagram.com/damngoodputter Dan Hodges: https://www.instagram.com/bogey_free_62/ Support the show

    E389: MUNICIPAL Co-Founder Harry Arnett

    Welcome back to another episode of The Chasing Daylight Podcast! Today, Matt sits down for an exciting interview with Harry Arnett, the founder of the rapidly growing lifestyle and apparel brand, Municipal. After a legendary career navigating the golf equipment space, Harry took a leap of faith to build a brand meant for the modern, active lifestyle.  Harry details his fascinating journey, from starting out in sports radio while making $8 an hour to leading marketing powerhouses at TaylorMade and Callaway. We dive deep into the philosophy of Municipal's "sport utility aesthetic," what it’s like co-founding a company with Mark Wahlberg, and why golfers need gear that performs just as well on a hike or in the gym as it does on the course.  In this episode, we cover: - Harry’s early career transition from sports radio to becoming a leading marketing mind at TaylorMade and Callaway.  - The exact moment Harry decided to leave his comfortable position in golf to bet on himself and launch Municipal in 2019.  - How Municipal was built to support a modern, multi-hyphenate life rather than just fitting the traditional "golf aesthetic".  - The success of Municipal athletes on tour, including Wyndham Clark's back-to-back U.S. Open victories while wearing the gear.  - Harry's thoughts on the current landscape of golf content creators and the importance of unique storytelling.  - Behind-the-scenes insights into working alongside co-founders Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson.
