Fore Play

It's Thanksgiving week and we're talking food. Is there a bigger regional difference in pizza or clam chowder? In golf, Trent makes a guarantee about his scores in Australia, Riggs reveals insights into the Barstool Classic 2020 schedule, and Frankie thinks he's back thanks to the latest Kisner tip. In headlines we talk RSM Classic, Rahm winning in Dubai, and young Tiger Woods saying he wants a 1 and 2-iron from Santa!!!

How dangerous is Australia? Could we die by snake? Shark? Croc? Spider? Scorpion? Could Rory McIlroy beat Frankie blindfolded? Who should Tiger have tapped to replace Brooks Koepka? All that, plus a chat with our 2019 Barstool Classic champions!!!

Up and coming women's golf star Maria Fassi (~63:02) joins the show to talk hitting bombs, battling on the back nine at Augusta in the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur, and life as a rookie on tour. Before Maria joins the show, we discuss Brendon Todd's back-to-back wins, a bunker shank for the ages, and how some things are bigger than golf!

We spent this past weekend with Kiz in his hometown of Aiken, South Carolina. We played his home course, Palmetto, and recount what it's like playing a round with tour pros. Then we played Sage Valley, witnessed a Kiz & Dewey clinic, and a private Lee Brice & Tyler Farr concert. Riggs then (~86:03) sat down for a hilarious round table with Kiz, Chappell, and Dufner. Shoutout to the Kisner Foundation. What an epic weekend!!! 

Pinehurst. Tobacco Road. A bucketlist buddies golf trip through North Carolina. This show recounts our journey from the wild and crazy Tobacco Road to the historic and cherished Pinehurst. We stayed at Tobacco Road's Stewart Cabin and at Pinehurst's Dornach Cottage (Donald Ross' old home). After each round, we sat by the fire and relived Tobacco Road, Pinehurst no. 8, no. 2, no. 4, and The Cradle. You don't want to miss this one!

We're podcasting live from the Dornach Cottage at Pinehurst. We talk Rory McIlroy, Tiger vs Greg Norman, and LPGA rules controversies. In From The Gallery, we discuss how big the hole would have to be for us to be competitive on the PGA TOUR!

Despite much speculation, we did indeed survive our trip to Vero Beach. We relive rolling around with our rockstar friend in his hometown, including chatting onstage with Jake Owen himself just minutes before Jimmy Buffett performed. Then Chase Rice joins the show (~91:23) where he pulls the curtains back on the music industry and tells a phenomenal John Daly story!

Course photographer @LinksGems, also known as Jon Cavalier, joins the show for the first time (~45:52). We talk about shooting courses, stopping at sketchy rest stops to upload photos, and his reckless history with drones. The crew also previews our upcoming Pinehurst trip, complete with private jets, Jake Owen concerts, and a weekend at Kisner's!

The Boss Man wins his 82nd tournament, tying Sam Snead's all-time record. We ask the important question: will Jack Nicklaus be forced to come out of retirement to defend his records? We breakdown the entire week, debate where Tiger ranks all-time, where he'll finish up, and MUCH more!!!

Lanto Griffin almost quit golf with under $200 to his name. A week and a half ago he became a PGA Tour winner. We discuss his journey, have some laughs, and even experience some emotions. We dream about what it'll be like playing in the Masters this spring. Plus, we breakdown the Asian swing (turns out there's A LOT of people in Asia), and Tiger's return and upcoming Presidents Cup picks!!!

We compare Hideki Matsuyama's lower half to Frankie Borrelli's. In Headlines, a couple Fore Play friends, Justin Thomas and Danielle Kang, win yet again; another buddy, the Boss Man, competes in the skins game in Japan; a player on the LPGA Senior Tour incurs a 58-stroke penalty; is Jordan Spieth back???

The golf world is abuzz over Brooks Koepka claiming there is no rivalry with Rory McIlroy because Rory hasn't won a major in 5 years. We pick sides! We also detail the Barstool Classic Championship, reuniting with our greatest podcast guest of all time Jake Owen, and give our takes on the new that Tiger Woods is writing his own book called “BACK.”

The boys are back and have decided to stick to two podcasts a week. We talk about Frankie leaving a mess in the office, how back Riggs golf game is, Lanto Griffin,  the European and Ladies Euro Tour's decision to host a mixed event, and tons more. We're back baby, we're so back!!!

Have we had enough with Phil Mickelson? Is the Houston Open the new John Deere Classic? What does Francesco Molinari to this day think about his U.S. Open interview with us? And Lurch goes on a U-word first date!

Barstool's pot stirrer and huge golf guy Kirk Minihane joins the show and things become unhinged real fast. We talk Kevin Na's putting antics, when Dave Portnoy will die, how our fall golf games are shaping up and MUCH more. Oh, and our friend Bryson says he's going to get yoked!

We kickoff the show with Riggs officially banning the usage of a certain word and imposing a fine for using it. Then we breakdown the Riggs vs Whitney match saga, which has been canceled due to an amateur status situation. In headlines, the Korean Tour money leader received a 3 year ban for flipping off a distracting fan so we tell our best middle finger stories. Also, we love our Aussie fans!!!

The whole squad's in studio for the first time in weeks and we have a lot of catching up to do. We tell stories, react to Cameron Champ's emotional win and Rory's aggressive European Tour comments, and debate if we're cool or not. Also, stick around to see if Frankie lands his joke.....

Riggs and Whitney have finalized details for their long-awaited $10k match. We breakdown the details, the expectations, and Riggs reveals what Frankie's caddie's cut will be. Plus, Trent's childhood nightmares won't die and Rory's dad is pretty damn good at golf!!!

This one goes off the rails. Fast. How many over par do you think you are in your life? How absurd is it that Rory has alignment issues? How mistreated were Trent and Riggs by their siblings? Wild show. Wild fun. Listen!

Lurch calls in from the Dunvegan Hotel Pub in St. Andrews, Scotland to talk links golf. And we take a bunch of From The Galleries. Would you skip playing Augusta to watch Tiger maybe win his 19th major? Can you golf with shades on? A watch? Stuff in your pockets? Oh, and Frankie says he could kill a baby if he really wanted to!
