Weekday Golf

Golf trips, competition, friendship, and the hang.

2 serious golfers who don’t take themselves seriously.

This week on Weekday Golf, we’re talking about the golf books and movies we still think about.

Oliver’s pick: The Match by Mark Frost.

Honorable mentions: Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect, Tales From Q School, and Every Shot Counts.

What’s your favorite golf book?

Let’s hear it…what’s your golf stress dream?

@CCCnewsletter Great to have you on!

@CCCnewsletter Keep the stories coming, and don't sleep on the A+ flavor saver!

Every golf club has “that guy. “

Player A is late to the club championship with car trouble. Player B starts without him, trying to win as many holes as possible.

And that’s only the beginning…

Another great story from Country Club Confidential’s @CCCnewsletter.

[Weekday Golf @WeekdayGolfPod]

Every golf club has stories. @CCCnewsletter shares some of the most outrageous tales that usually never leave the clubhouse.

This one is called Badfellas.

A clubhouse renovation vote failed…so there was a Plan B.

If your golf course has a superintendent like Troy Flanagan, consider yourself lucky. He’s one of the game’s best and we loved his answer to “What does the soul of golf mean to you?”

Golf course supers are devious. But according to Troy Flanagan, Director of Golf Maintenance at The Olympic Club, we only have ourselves to blame.

Every golfer knows this feeling. You know exactly where your ball should be…

Then your buddy pours salt on the wound.

The age old fairway divot debate: should you get relief or no? Seems like it comes down to “it’s hard to define what a divot is.”

We discuss this, and other rules we love, hate, and question on this week’s episode.

Hitting more balls isn’t necessarily the best practice.

Team captains William Ma (Harvard) and Matthew Lin (Yale) explain why contests and practice with something on the line are the closest thing to tournament pressure.

And, games like 21 help get you a greasy short game.

[Weekday Golf @WeekdayGolfPod]

Making a Division I golf team is incredibly difficult.

Ask Matthew Lin (Yale) and William Ma (Harvard) what they’ll remember most, though, and it won’t be the tournaments or the trophies.

It’ll be the van rides, Chipotle stops, and time spent with teammates.

Every minute you spend standing in line is a minute you’re not watching golf.

That’s the philosophy behind how the PGA of America designs the fan experience.

[Weekday Golf @WeekdayGolfPod]

The Ryder Cup and PGA Championship don’t just happen.

They get built after years of planning.

Brandon Haney takes us behind the scenes of how that happens.

You can have a terrible day on the golf course, but as long as there’s a 19th hole, you can still walk away thinking it was time well spent.

Here’s why the course rating doesn’t tell the whole story:

When you remember your childhood course better than a highly ranked, more famous course, you realize how important the people are. It’s usually what you remember the most, years later.

A great club fitting should fit the golfer — not just the launch monitor numbers.

Master club fitter Joe Kwok explains one of the biggest misconceptions in club fitting.

[Weekday Golf @WeekdayGolfPod]

“Maybe I need new clubs.”

Master club fitter Joe Kwok thinks most golfers are looking in the wrong place for the answer.

How much of your score is your clubs vs. your swing?

Some golfers replace a glove at the first sign of wear.

Others…not so much.
