About this episode
Alex is in Frisco, TX, home of the PGA of America HQ, the Dallas Cowboys HQ, the Westin Stonebriar, and this year's PGA Professional Championship. Alex shares what's making Frisco so awesome, thanks to our friends at Visit Frisco (2:09). Josh Dill, the Director of Sports and Events for Visit Frisco, chats with Alex about what makes Frisco so special and how they work with the entire Dallas-Fort Worth area to attract every sport imaginable. Plus, Josh shares his favorite hangouts and BBQ in Frisco (7:28). The PGA Tour's team golf event, the Zurich Classic, was for the Irishmen as the Ryder Cup pairing of McIlroy and Lowry took the win in Rory's first appearance in New Orleans (24:03). The LPGA this week was void of Nelly Korda, so Hannah Green took the opportunity to win her second consecutive JM Eagle LA Championship, her second win of the season (25:37). LIV Adelaide was for the home team as Cam Smith's Rippers took the first team playoff victory in LIV history. But it was the party hole on 13 that took headlines when a full water bottle hit a caddy in the back of the head (26:33). While Alex is in Frisco, Michael just got back from Atlanta where he marveled at the new PuttShack mini golf, watched his wife's film at the Atlanta Film Festival, and enjoyed the impressive Ponce City Market (28:45). The PGA Tour now heads to McKinney, TX, just down the road from Frisco, for the CJ CUP Byron Nelson, that includes a quiet field but a final opportunity to get into the next Signature Event (33:32). The playoffs in the NBA and NHL roll on, as Alex is still confident in the Boston teams chances (37:47). The NFL Draft had some exciting first round picks, but Alex is not happy with the Patriots choices, while Michael's Giants are all-in on Daniel Jones (40:40). As the guys #AlwaysEndWithFood, Alex is enjoying everything Frisco has to offer, including its tacos, while Michael ate well in Atlanta, including 100-layer donuts and scrumptious pastries (44:24).
