A doozy to monitor:

In one corner we have St. Louis and Bellerive - the choice whipping boy for NLU boys to deploy their obnoxious taste signaling (elevated taste bestowed by vibrant cultural backgrounds of suburban white bread Georgia and Ohio)

In the other we have BMW - NLU’s daddy is the title sponsor of this week’s event. Oh no!

Keen observers (yes I’m a loser if you’re not there yet) will have noticed previously that NLU’s intense criticism of the PGAT product suddenly ramps down during BMW week.

Last year at Caves while their new golf media peers railed against the venue and the Tour, our heroes at NLU suddenly couldn’t find their tongues - nay, they were busy cutting thinly veiled promos at the event, quiet product placement and all.

Quite a conundrum - how will NLU contort themselves around this one? Will they say what they think? Or will they sheepishly lay down their haughty bullshit and get on their knees to polish off their master?

Punishment feels a little light but glad that a bullet is being put in LIV’s head

Talking LIV.

Curious what everyone thinks of this course? Obviously the “playoffs” don’t get as much run as the tour would hope but this course kinda scratches the itch for me while not being anything super special.

Can someone provide an update on how he is handling all the LIV news? I deleted X a year ago, and I would love to know if has accepted defeat or continues to provide delusional takes and spin.

Top 5 pod of all time regardless of NLU pod or Trap Draw. Neil was on absolute fire and his roommate Gerry was absolutely hilarious. Forced me to go watch the actual documentary on Garth… made it 100x better and they were spot on.

Great pod, excited to see what they pair up on

What’s with the lack of US Am talk and coverage? An incredible amateur field at one of the best courses in the country and they’ve barely mentioned it. Did I miss something? Seems like they’d be more all over this one.

18 at Merion at the moment is peak long rough and hard greens can be boring. No one can keep it on the green. They all end up in the long rough at the back. Just a deep rough chip off.

I’ve been as hard on the boys as anybody since the KVV thing, but man. Neil’s rundown of LIV bedminster is the good stuff. That’s what has kept me listening the whole way. When he said he hoped Paul Casey was getting fed, I had to stop the car. Just electric stuff.

Does anyone know if the US Mid-Am at The Lido is going to be televised? I can’t find anything online about coverage.

I know in the deep dives on majors NLU has been lamed by the PGAC's total absence of broadcasts on youtube. Their channel has started uploading some full broadcasts and 'offical films'. Good to see.
