Thumbs up to Golf Channel for this podcast

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.
Don’t waste your time.

The two biggest hacks in golf…. They bring nothing to the table say so many things that are factually incorrect it’s almost laughable
Five stars for Rex & Lav!

This show has joined the list of “automatic download” sports podcasts on my phone — and it’s a short list of 2, when it comes to golf. (The other being “Fairway Rollin.”) I’ll check in on “The Fried Egg” during the 4 major weeks, and I’ll always listen to Scott Van Pelt after the Masters. But Rex & Lav are not just good reporters, but they’ve also become podcast “personalities” — by just being themselves. It also makes me more interested, whenever they do Golf Channel TV appearances. And last but not least: All Hail the new President, of the Golf Writer’s Association!
Audio fail

What is up with the audio balance? Lav is normal but Rex is so faint that you either have to not hear Rex or hurt your ears when Lav speaks.
