Show Notes

On this week's episode Brian and Todd talk about the 'false spring' weather that has hit the midwest and a few takes from last week's Super Bowl before diving into the main golf headlines of the week.

This week, we try to make any sense of who's staying/who's going in the soap opera that is the PGA Tour and the Saudi Golf League. Apparently Donald Trump and his golf courses may be involved, players are desperately fleeing what seems a sinking ship, and we wonder where all of this leaves Phil Mickelson.

Next we dive into Golf.com's claim that the height you tee your ball up may be costing you distance on your drives. We look at what they say you need to do to maximize your distance.

And finally, speaking of distance, we spend a few minutes on the 6'9 pro golfer James Hart du Preez. His driving average last year was 375! yards on the Sunshine tour. Todd and I use his story to debate if being taller offers you an advantage in golf like it might in other sports.

To close, Todd shares about the world of Harry Potter with his kids, we both commiserate about raising boys, and Brian brags about his son hitting a 'game winning' basket.
