WOKE Golf Channel is absolutely unwatchable but this is really good. I stumbled across it when Lavner was a guest on The Fried Egg pod awhile back. If they would cut out the useless chit-chat at the beginning of each episode, it would be 5 stars.

I listen to the podcast regularly and this one is inconsistent, sometimes it’s interesting and sometimes it’s boring. It’s a hit or miss.
Signature event following the masters

Apr 24

Theo and Weird Henry

Listening to the podcast on the Hilton head tournament I disagree with the comments about the signature event after the masters I think that’s a perfect time for a signature event, coming off the masters you have a lot of folks interested in golf and great opportunity to carry the momentum. The worst thing that can happen is after a great golf tournament. People turn on golf the following week there are no top players playing and you can lose momentum. Hilton head is a great tournament always produces a great finish. Don’t change the field. It is good for golf.
