About this episode
Lydia Ko, at the age of just 27, has every color Olympic medal in golf after claiming the Gold in Paris, and is now in the Women's Hall of Fame. The Wyndham Championship had a wet start and a wild Sunday finish (that included 3 rounds of golf!) that resulted in Aaron Rai taking his first career victory. Matt Kuchar, known for being cheap after not paying his caddy in Mexico several years ago, is back on our sh** list after his selfish move to not finish half a golf hole Sunday evening and make people return to the course Monday morning at the Wyndham. The FedEx Cup Playoffs kick off this weekend at the FedEx St Jude, and while Alex says Scottie Scheffler will take the season ending playoff, Michael says you should find a dollar to put down on Rory McIlroy. The rest of the Olympics, outside of golf, didn't disappoint either, and Alex and Michael look at men's and women's basketball's supremacy, and how US Women's Soccer keeps winning gold, but nobody seemed to care stateside. This week's guest is Director of Golf Operations Nate Laird at the Beloit Club in Wisconsin. Nate chats with Alex about this historic club, how they've made it approachable and fun for the entire family, and what makes the course so great. As the guys #AlwaysEndWithFood, Alex finished up his roadtrip home with a bunch of fast food joints, and Michael's recent brunch outing makes his ask the question: pancakes, waffles, or French toast?
