    211: Huge USGA News, Matt's NYC Trip, PGA & LIV Events

    211: Huge USGA News, Matt's NYC Trip, PGA & LIV Events

    Episode 211

    Matt is back from his trip to NYC and has much to share. There wasn't any golf-related content here other than a quick stop at Chelsea Piers Golf Range, but it was fun talking about New York for a bit, especially Angelo's Coal Oven Pizzeria. If you're not familiar with the brand Canada Goose, you will be after this segment.

    Eventually, we got to some golf and dove head-first into the news regarding the USGA and their plans to roll the ball back. There's some heated talk about this, and many talking heads are letting their opinions known. We did the same, and it was a solid conversation.

    Matt is back to tinkering. He reviewed some of the changes to his bag and shared some news about the new wedges he'll be gaming from Corey Paul.

    We discussed The Valspar, Jordan Spieth's stupid tee shot on 16, and how Matt has slowly crept into second place in the season-long points race for our Locks. From there, the PGA Tour talk snowballed into some LIV Golf trash talking, which is new for us. Lol.

    The odds for the Dell Match Play and Puntacana never really happened, but we did make out picks for both events and shared the odds for those players!

    Matt Gontarek gave us our Golf Forecast for this weekend's VGN tournament at Mountain Fall GC in Pahrump, and we covered a little bit about the event.

    210: Scottie Scheffler is your Players Champion! Joe's Trip to Bandon, Some Vegas Golf Talk

    210: Scottie Scheffler is your Players Champion! Joe's Trip to Bandon, Some Vegas Golf Talk

    Episode 210 

    We have a quick one for you this week. Matt's headed out of town, and Joe is wiped from his trip, so we powered through a short Sunday night session to keep the show going.

    The Players was a blast to watch, and while some people may think there wasn't enough drama, we believe watching Scottie Scheffler dissect one of the toughest tests in golf was a joy to watch. He regained the World #1 ranking and is ready to defend his Dell Match Play and Masters Titles over the next month!

    Matt and Jeremy got in some golf this past week at Revere Golf Club and the ever-dormant Aliante Golf Club, while Joe went to some place called Bandon Dunes, where ever that is.

    We'll be back next week with a full show, some energy, and more golf to talk about as LIV Golf returns this weekend in Tucson, and the Vegas Golf Network is preparing for event number two of the 2023 season!

    Thanks for listening or watching if you're on YouTube!

    209: Designated. A Huge win for Kitayama, Matt's fired up about LIV and Depressed too. Joe's off to Bandon and it's The Players Week!

    209: Designated. A Huge win for Kitayama, Matt's fired up about LIV and Depressed too. Joe's off to Bandon and it's The Players Week!

    EPISODE 209

    In case you were unaware, the beer in St George, UT, is trash.

    Ok, on to golf.

    Matt is fired up about LIV and why they care so much about the OWGR.

    The Elevated, err, The DESIGNATED events got an overhaul for 2024, and we broke it down a little bit and gave our opinions on the topic.

    The Arnold Palmer Invitational was a huge hit over the weekend. And UNLV's very own Kurt Kitayama came away with his first PGA Tour and the biggest win of his worldwide golf tour.

    Joe is headed to Bandon! He and  Dan are going to meet up with a few PNW guys, JP the Golf Homie (Go check out our episode with him), and they have a few rounds scheduled.

    Matt fell into a state of depression and talked about how it nearly had him stepping away from the game. And he might have if not for Alex Elliot.

    There’s a new grip company and they sent Matt a few to review. Check out there website and see what you think.

    Matt Gonatrek, our Local Fox5 Weatherman, gave us this weekend's Golf FORECast.

    Joe also shared some stories about our favorite Golf Shoe brand TRUE Linkswear.

    And we wrapped up the show with some The Players talk. We covered the Odds and our picks for this important tournament of the season.

    208: LIV is back, Honda Classic is done, AP takes center stage, Desert Pines is still trash.

    208: LIV is back, Honda Classic is done, AP takes center stage, Desert Pines is still trash.

    EPISODE 208

    Thanks, everyone, for tuning in to this week's show. There's a ton of stuff going on in golf, so we had a lot to talk about.

    LIV Golf returned, and we were not impressed. As golf fans, we all tried to watch the tourney in Mayakoba, but it was just hard to watch.

    The Honda Classic, however, even with a field of what many people called "nobody's," was damn good. The storylines that the PGA Tour continues to pump out there is something that LIV cannot replicate. At least right now, they can't. Who knows down the road?

    Another Elevated, Designated event hits the course this weekend on the PGA Tour as the Arnold Palmer Invitational takes center stage with a good as-it-gets field for a non-Major.

    Joe and Matt played in the Double Par Skins game out at Desert Pines Golf Club, where Matt was destroyed in his Match Play event, 8 & 6. (that was hard to type). Then we voiced our opinion about Desert Pines and what people can expect when they show up to play there.

    Fox5 Meteorologist Matt Gontarek gave us a look into the weekend forecast, and we're finally starting to see some typical weather now that March is finally here. So damn weird this winter has been here in Vegas.

    We wrapped up the show with the odds for the API and Puerto Rico Open and made out picks for both tourneys.

    207: Full Swing Review with Cyrus Janssen, VGN Tourney Talk, Jon Rahm is he a Superstar?

    207: Full Swing Review with Cyrus Janssen, VGN Tourney Talk, Jon Rahm is he a Superstar?

    EPISODE 207

    Unless you live on Mars, there's a good chance you tuned into the new Netflix series FULL SWING this past week.
     
    Maybe you watched the entire series in one day like a few of us did, or you spaced it out and haven't finished the series yet. Regardless of how you have consumed the show, it is all the buzz right now; literally, EVERYONE is talking about the show.

    If you haven't listened to the No Laying Up episode, where they covered the series, we highly recommend you do. We love their content, and they nailed their assessment of the show.

    Here is a link to that episode:
    https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/no-laying-up-golf-podcast/id880837011?i=1000599879597

    However, we're a very opinionated group, and for this Full Swing recap, we brought in our good friend Cyrus Janssen to get his thoughts and ours for the new series.

    Afterward, we covered this weekend's weather forecast with Matt Gontarek and reviewed the odds for the first event of the year in Florida, The Honda Classic.

    We also got into some Jon Rahm talk about where he is in his career and whether he is destined for Superstardom or just an excellent golfer who wins a lot.

    206: Wasted Recap, Netflix, Super Bowl, Tiger is back again, VGN and Coyote Springs

    206: Wasted Recap, Netflix, Super Bowl, Tiger is back again, VGN and Coyote Springs

    Episode 206

    My goodness, a LOT is going on in the golfing world.

    The WMPO wrapped up on Sunday with the new number-one player in the world, Mr. Scottie Scheffler getting the W. For the first Dedicated/Elevated event, it was pretty good. The Waste(d) crowd always adds a little spice to the event, so this upcoming weekend's tourney at Riviera will, we think, be more telling of how these new tourneys will do going forward.

    Tiger Woods isn't going to hurt the ratings for the Genesis, that's for sure. During last week's tourney, he announced he would be teeing it up in LA. This will be his first Tour event since The Open. 

    The highly anticipated Netflix show Full Swing hits the streaming service today! It looks like we are all going to binge as much as possible, and we'll decide how to present the overview of the episodes in the coming weeks.

    The "Big Game" also took place on Sunday, and we had some things to say about that.

    Matt Gontarek gave us the weekend golf forecast with a special shoutout to the VGN's first event, which takes place Saturday at Rhodes Ranch.

    We covered the "Who knows where these numbers came from cause the William Hill app is STILL DOWN" odds for The Genesis, made our picks, and then wrapped up the show with some disturbing talks about the "Emergency Sandwich."

Good local knowledge

Originally checked out the pod trying to get more info on local Vegas courses. These guys know the scene inside and out! Great to hear the firsthand knowledge from guys who you can tell just love the game. Will be a regular listener here on out. Keep up the good content, boys 🍻

Vegas vibes and golf

For anyone interested in a relaxed, but entertaining golf podcast with Vegas ties this is great. As someone who went to high school in Las Vegas, Bonanza, I really enjoy the Las Vegas golf scene discussion. Angel Park was just built before I left and my how the golf scene has changed in these 30 years. Love Paiute, Cascata and Coyote Springs. These guys have it all, tour and tech talk, course reviews including an annual best of Las Vegas golf course show, Instagram reviews, beer reviews, interviews with industry specialist, travel reviews across the nation. I would like an UNLV segment for both the men’s and women’s team and maybe a junior special in Las Vegas. I walked the fairways with a few UNLV players at a couple US Amateurs which was fun say Go Rebels after a good shot. Great show, keep up the good work.

Looking forward to the Bandon Dunes trip summary, please go into the details of the logistics, transportation from one course to another, meals during the event, and the other rounds you play.
Heading out to Vegas in a few weeks. Paiute and Coyote Springs on the menu.
Thanks and keep up the great job.

dirty benjals ,

Bandon merch

I listen to you guys on Spotify so I had to come over here and drop a comment great show boys keep it up 💪💪🍻🍻
