Episode notes

It's golf history week with our resident golf historian, plus hosts Alex Lauzon and Michael Russell look back on other goings on in the world of golf and more this past week.

  • The Valspar Invitational proved to be a fun week indeed, with Jordan Speith doing Jordan Speith things before Taylor Moore took the W. Plus a new "bag cam" made an appearance, and all the JTs got into an argument about whose the real JT (1:44).
  • LIV Golf played in Tuscon this week, and they finished off the week with a 4 man playoff that, in typical LIV fashion, nobody watched (8:02).
  • The TOUR heads to Austin for what could be the final WGC Dell Match Play, and Alex shares his thoughts on 7 magical years in Austin. Plus a look at the stacked event field and who may emerge from their 4-man brackets (10:53).
  • Opposite the Match Play will be the Corales Putacana Championship, where the grinders on TOUR play for a life-changing weekend (17:38).
  • In Tuned In, Michael is soaking up the final season of Star Trek: Picard, while Alex is watching the new show Lucky Hank (18:32).
  • Dr Bern Bernaki of the Golf Heritage Society returns to talk about some of the game's oldest golf clubs and some of it's original golf balls (21:12).
  • The Golf Heritage Society's Vice-President, Bill Robertson, chats with Alex about some of the game's greatest from the past, and how they mirror the game's current stars (39:05).
  • March Madness did not disappoint in the opening weekend of the men's basketball tournament, and Michael's off-the-cuff guess of Princeton getting a W has turned into a full Cinderella story (53:47).
  • The guy's alma mater Quinnipiac is starting their NCAA men's hockey tournament with a #2 seed in a nice path to Tampa Bay for the National Championship, only a few hours away from Michael (57:24).
  • As they guys #AlwaysEndWithFood, Alex shares some breaking news about The Master's Champion Dinner, and Michael suggests his own menu for the elite meal (58:44).
