No Laying Up - Golf Podcast No Laying Up Network

Four years after his first appearance on the pod we welcome Jim Nantz of CBS back to detail the changes in the network's golf coverage, offer some context around the growth of the Masters coverage and infrastructure, Scottie Scheffler's recent dominance and the current fractured environment in pro golf.
We also get some amazing stories from Jim's time on the road, his favorite meal spots at various tour stops, and an incredible story to close us out surrounding an encounter from early in his career with an iconic actor at an iconic course.
