About this episode
Welcome back to another explosive edition of the Quiet Please Golf Podcast — and let’s just say, this week’s episode is less a polite tee-off and more a full-blown bunker buster. We pick up right where we left off from last week’s cliffhanger, and the fireworks start immediately. First up: Paul Azinger . The man didn’t just dip a toe into controversy — he dove headfirst. Azinger’s comments about online golf instruction had the golf world clutching pearls and typing fast. Is swing coaching via social media helping or harming the modern game? Zinger didn’t mince words, and neither did we. Then came the Rory McIlroy bombshell — and no, not his 330-yard drives. We’re talking about his searing remarks regarding the PGA’s direction and its ties to the soon-to-be HQ in Frisco . Whether you agree or not, Rory laid it all out with vintage Irish fire, and the implications for the sport’s power structure are massive. And while the men were tossing verbal grenades, Lottie Woad was out there dropping real ones — fairway missiles and clinical putts — en route to victory at the Women’s Irish Open . The amateur phenom didn't just win; she conquered a loaded field with poise that belied her years. A future superstar? We say yes. Over at the John Deere Classic , the theater was electric — a finish packed with drama, grit, and putts that felt like destiny. We break down the defining moments and what they mean for the FedEx Cup race. And that’s all before we even touch on Royal Portrush — because trust us, what’s brewing in Northern Ireland deserves its own segment. Grab your headphones and maybe a helmet — the Quiet Please Golf Podcast is teeing off loud this week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
