Episode notes

  • The Puerto Rico Open featured a new PGA TOUR winner, by a whole bunch of strokes.
  • The Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill wasn't short on dramatics down the stretch, but NBC's botched coverage thanks to a commercial break took away the best moment of Russell Henley's big win.
  • The DP World Tour's Joburg Open in South Africa included one of those odd moments of a player posting a low number and then needing to wait it out to see if they win. Alex loves the coverage they do with a camera in the player's face, and in the end, Calum Hill survived the extended break in the clubhouse and a playoff to take the win.
  • The LPGA wrapped up their Asian swing in China with a new winner at the LPGA Blue Bay, while two past CoL guests finished in the top 30.
  • TPC Sawgrass hosts the unofficial 5th major as THE PLAYERS highlights this weekend's events.
  • Alex shares what he visited at SXSW in Austin this past weekend, including a Whataburger museum filled with art inspired by the Texas burger chain.
  • In Tuned In, Michael shares a review of the most recent Oscar Winner for Best Animated Feature, Flow, while Alex's plethora of viewing this past week includes updates from Fyre Festival 2 and a crazy few minutes on a Southwest Airlines flight.
  • This week's guest is Jason Epstein, the PGA Director of Golf & Athletics at Congressional Country Club. Jason chats with Alex from the PGA Show floor and shares how the course has changed and what to look forward to as major championships return to this historic DC course.
  • March Madness is just about hear, and all the mid-majors are just praying for a spot outside of the play-in games.
  • NFL Free Agency is lighting up, and while Michael's Giants finally have a QB, Alex's Patriots are getting ready to spend some money.
  • As the guys #AlwaysEndWithFood, Alex shares the incredible food he had visiting SXSW, but also the food he didn't get to have because he's "too old" to wait in line.
