    365: New Knees, Pebble Beach Preview & The Waste Management Hangover

    Send a text We’ve officially hit a milestone—Episode 365! That means we have a full year’s worth of audio for you to binge (if you’re brave enough). On this episode, the mood is a mix of celebration and nerves as Matt prepares to go under the knife for his full knee replacement surgery the very next morning. In this episode: The Bionic Leg: Matt talks about the high-tech recovery gear dropped off by Cobra Medical and discusses the timeline for his return to the links (Landmand or bust!).Tour Talk: We recap the chaos and "cultural experience" that was the Waste Management Open and look ahead to the 80-man, no-cut field at Pebble Beach.Halftime Hot Takes: The crew debates the Super Bowl halftime show—was it a vibe or a snooze fest compared to Prince?Tech & Trivia: Matt terrorizes the guys with creepy AI-generated videos, and we play a round of "Google Gemini" trivia regarding the most important dates in modern golf history.Plus, we talk TGL failures, Disneyland horror stories, and give away some fresh Garson gear.

    Chasing Darkness: Episode 364 Aftershow

    Start with a busted mic, add some real-life pain management, and suddenly the conversation gets honest in the best way. We open with insurance stonewalling a knee surgery and how Voltaren, injections, and “come back in 6 weeks” medicine keeps golfers limping instead of living. That frustration lights up a bigger theme: where golf and healthcare mirror each other with recurring costs, quick fixes, and just enough relief to keep you paying.Then the gear nerdiness kicks in. We break down rangefinders without fluff—why Precision Pro’s speed and front-middle-back info hit, how Bushnell stays great yet fragile and expensive, and what Nikon nails with glass but fumbles with stabilization and magnets. The wild part? You can patent a slope algorithm. It’s a window into how golf tech markets features, pricing, and innovation, and why the best device is fast, tough, and distraction-free on a windy par 3.With the tech dust still in the air, we start building a trip you can steal. Fly into Omaha, front-load two rounds at Landmand, and pad the itinerary with Omaha-area courses to hedge against flight changes. That sparks the classic debate: Bandon as an immersive golf universe versus Landmand as a bold, creative canvas. We trade stories that make the differences clear without picking a pointless winner. Along the way, we talk about content clips, a surprise putter hookup, and how to plan smarter golf without getting fleeced by trends.We’re also growing the community for real. New Vegas Golf Network tools—member directory, live chat, and a cleaner way to share charity events and meetups—mean fewer missed invites and more rounds that actually happen. To make premium worth it, we’re lining up a monthly raffle featuring real gear and real value, powered by the brands we trust and the listeners who keep us going.If this mix of unfiltered golf talk, practical gear insights, and trip planning hits your sweet spot, follow the show, share it with a golf friend, and leave a quick review. What’s your take: Landmand or Bandon—and why? We’re reading every reply.

    Send a text In this episode, the boys are joined by Jonah Mytro, co-founder of Precision Pro Golf, to pull the curtain back on the golf technology industry. Jonah shares the origin story of taking on industry giants like Bushnell and Leopold by bootstrapping a company focused on what golfers actually need—not just expensive bells and whistles. We dive deep into the tech, discussing why rechargeable batteries are the future, the science behind "slope" algorithms, and why some major brands are failing on stabilization. Jonah also gives us an insider’s look at the PGA Show, the rise of golf influencers (from Good Good to No Laying Up), and the frustration of "Chinese crap" flooding Amazon. Plus, we talk about the legendary "$1 Million Duct-Taped Rangefinder," the differences between Asian and US market designs, and give away an NX9 Slope to a lucky listener.

    Chasing Darkness: Episode 362 Aftershow

    Shock, laughter, and a few hot takes—this one sprints from cult cinema to club fittings without losing the thread. We trade TV and movie picks that actually rattle you (Oldboy, anyone?), unpack why certain stories stick in your head for days, and admit how a single film can nuke household peace. That same intensity shows up in our gear brains as we weigh $700 drivers, launch monitor quirks, and whether dispersion gains matter more than five extra yards.On the golf side, we compare TaylorMade and Callaway’s latest drivers, talk real-world numbers from fittings, and explain who truly benefits from an upgrade versus who can wait. We get into balls, rangefinders, and the little details that change confidence at address. There’s candid talk about pricing, realistic expectations, and the difference between hype and measurable improvements. We also dive into the Raiders’ quarterback question—trade down or take a swing now—and why projection is always a gamble, even for future stars.Maker culture threads everything together: small-batch hats and embroidery that actually stitch clean, smart trophy partnerships, thrifted pro-shop gems, and the thrill of a limited drop done right. One big lifestyle twist: buying a van the smart way—using AI to shop insurance, decode coverage, and shave costs while adding travel protections. Add in clip tools that supercharge content and a few sponsorship wins, and you’ve got a playbook for building a community you actually want to be part of.Hit play, share your spiciest gear upgrade take, and tell a friend who loves film rabbit holes and fairway tech. If you’re new here, tap follow and leave a quick review—your support keeps the mics hot and the giveaways rolling.

    Chasing Darkness: Episode 361 Aftershow

    Roosters, rainforests, and a drive along the coast—our Hawaii debrief kicks off with a head-to-head between Kauai’s easy pace and the Big Island’s wild microclimates. From walking volcanoes to hunting the best poke and finding golf tucked inside lava fields, we trace how the land and weather shape every swing. That sets the stage for winter realities back home: simulators with lie-adjusting floors, frost delays that shut ranges, and how to keep your feel when the thermometer refuses to help.Travel plans get serious as we map rounds across Hawaii and Arizona—We-Ko-Pa, Dinosaur Mountain, Quintero—then trade notes on Myrtle Beach staples and Florida’s evolution from World Woods to Cabot Citrus Farms. Along the way we spotlight the joy of small-town nine-holers and the value of public gems that outplay their price. The design debate fires up next: Tom Fazio’s engineered wonders versus Tom Doak’s land-first minimalism. Shadow Creek’s spectacle may dazzle, but the bandon effect is real—many of us crave courses that look inevitable, with wind, contour, and firm turf doing the heavy lifting. Nebraska’s Sandhills and Landmand sit high on the wish list for exactly that reason.Mid-show, a surprise clinic lands: a clear, no-drama walkthrough of knee replacement—what surgeons do, what pain to expect, and how quickly you can return to golf. We also solve a sudden neck flare-up with topical diclofenac (Voltarin) and practical recovery tips you can use tomorrow. It’s unsponsored, real-world advice aimed at keeping you healthy enough to chase the rounds that matter most.We close by revisiting a beloved community event—“Legends Never Die” at Las Vegas Paiute—54 holes, thoughtful swag, and a raffle table stacked with gear that turned a day of golf into a story. That’s the blueprint moving forward: courses that belong on their land, events that put players first, and a body that’s cared for like essential equipment. If you love travel golf, course architecture, and the gritty joy of playing through weather, you’ll feel right at home. Subscribe, share with a golf friend, and drop a comment with your bucket-list course—we’re planning the next event and want you there.

    Send a text Dan is away getting his reggae on in Mexico, so the crew calls up a heavy hitter from the bullpen: Mike from Beautiful Golf Courses joins Matt, Joe, and Jeremy for a packed episode. The guys dive immediately into the biggest news in golf: Brooks Koepka is officially back on the PGA Tour. We break down the strategic timing, the specific parameters that allowed his return (and seemingly excluded Phil Mickelson), and what this means for Bryson DeChambeau, Cam Smith, and the future sustainability of LIV Golf. Later, the conversation shifts to "Experiential Golf." Mike and the guys discuss why difficult-to-reach courses like Landman, Dismal River, and Gamble Sands are worth the journey. We debate if the hype is real, the logistics of booking tee times, and why the "hang" is just as important as the golf. In this episode, we cover: The Return of Brooks: Analyzing Brooks' statement, the financial penalties, and why the PGA Tour needs Bryson back next.LIV Golf Status: Is the league on the verge of folding, or will it evolve into something else?.Game Time: Matt hosts a round of "LIV Golfer or Southern Nevada Amateur?".Matt's Road to Recovery: Matt announces his official date for total knee replacement surgery and his goal to be ready for the team trip to Landman.Scotty Cameron Pilgrimage: Jeremy recaps his first-ever trip to the Scotty Cameron Gallery in Encinitas and the process of buying a Circle T.Wisconsin Lore: A strange detour into Green Bay fandom, cheese, and Wisconsin’s surprisingly dark true crime history.Course Reviews: Thoughts on Coyote Springs (and the Bob Does Sports episode), Prairie Club, and Sand Valley.Mentioned in this episode: Vegas Golf Network: The season is starting soon!
