Fore Play

We are live and credentialed from Shinnecock Hill. Riggs was inside the ropes for the Wednesday practice round with Kisner, Chappell and List. Trent was at Rory's presser. Did he get in a question?  How's the course playing? What's the buzz in the media center? We've got a report on EVERYTHING from being credentialed at the U.S. Open!

Jeff Hall from the USGA joins the show to breakdown setting up Shinnecock Hills for the U.S. Open. How far back does the preparation go? How does he monitor the firmness? What will be the winning score? The guys also preview the tournament, get ready to head out east for a fully credentialed U.S. Open experience, and discuss Jimmy Walker's “backstopping” comments. Oh, and Dustin Johnson is coming off a walk-off eagle and 6-stroke victory!

Our buddy Ryan Whitney is back to talk Tiger, Bryson DeChambeau, pushcarts, and commentate on Frankie's caddie tales. You will not believe what Judge Smalls did to Frankie during his first EVER loop. We also get an update on poor Lucas Glover, on Frankie's wedge game woes, and on Riggs' "Skokie Challenge" event at Skokie Country Club near Chicago. This is one of our more hysterical shows! 

2018 U.S. Open champ and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy joins the show to relive his victory at Shinnecock (shooting 67* with unlimited mulligans). Dave breaks down his strategy, execution, and the warm reception he received at Shinnecock Hills. For the rest of the show, Trent, Frankie and Riggs talk Lucas Glover's crazy wife, super pairings at this week's Memorial, and if it's acceptable to leave the guy you were randomly matched up with to play alone. Packed show, let's do this!

The collapse at Winged Foot. The heartbreak at Merion. The carnage at Shinnecock. Fore Play Digs takes you through the complicated relationship (6 second place finishes) between Phil Mickelson and the U.S. Open Championship! 

Stewart Cink joins the show this week and reveals incredible behind the scenes stories about his 2009 British Open win vs Tom Watson. His caddie Taylor also hops on to discuss the dynamic between the two. And Riggs returns from Shinnecock to detail El Pres' mulligan challenge at this year's US Open venue. Big week, big show, let's go!

Former NHL'er and golf nut Ryan Whitney joins the show this week to talk golf. In what might be our funniest show yet, the boys breakdown Webb Simpson making The Players Championship boring as hell, Johnny Miller delivering hot take after hot take, Tiger making a run (plus Whit tells the story of Tiger playing through him at Medalist), and Dufner's putting woes costing him hundreds of thousands of dollars. We also answer the question: is it a bender move to use a rubber driving range tee on the golf course???

After 121 holes at Bandon Dunes, Riggs walks Trent and Frankie through the entire weekend… including his brother's first ever hole in one. Is Bandon the single greatest place to play golf on planet earth? Listen to find out. The guys also react to Jason Day's win at Quail Hollow and to the TOUR going power pairings only at The Players Championship this week.

The debut of Fore Play Digs relives Tiger's legendary win at the 2008 US Open with a torn ACL and fractured leg. You'll get all the feels as Riggs takes you through what Tiger himself considers his greatest triumph, and does it with behind the scenes details, stories, quotes, and audio you've likely never heard. Let's get it.

Riggs makes a big announcement about the new podcast extension “Fore Play Digs," and Mike Ballo joins the show. Mike's the assistant pro at Winged Foot, played on the Web.com TOUR, played college golf with Keegan Bradley, and caddied for Jon Curran on the PGA TOUR this year. He reveals the prank Keegan and the boys played on him at the Honda Classic, surviving a nuke scare in Hawaii, his life as an assistant pro at one of the US Open's most famous tests, and what makes the world's best so good. In From The Gallery, Frankie, Trent and Riggs debate how many mulligans they'd need to win the US Open and if it's acceptable to rock a pull cart!

We have a FULL show this week. An in depth Streamsong Review, headlines, and several From The Galleries with the whole crew. Is it a hardo move to rock blade irons? How big of a life event would you miss to play a bucket list course? Would you miss your brother's wedding to play Augusta? Is Sergio more likable for throwing his driver in the woods? This and much more. Let's go.

It's Riggs, Frankie, and Trent breaking down headlines and taking From The Galleries this week. Is it okay to steal good balls from the driving range? What's the single golf shot we have the least confidence in hitting? What're our thoughts on Patrick Reed and the media breaking down his family situation? How was Bethpage Black on opening day? Is Riggs a jerk for rocking a giant golf umbrella on the New York sidewalks? It's this and MUCH more, including many stories from Mr. Gary Player himself during Masters Week.

 We recap the Masters! It's the whole gang -- Riggs, Trent and Frankie -- breaking down everything from the 82nd Masters. How do we feel about Patrick Reed winning? About Nick Faldo's weird commentary? About Rickie Fowler once again coming oh so close? About Jordan Spieth doing Jordan Spieth things? About Rory's struggles? About Rahm's temper? About the perfection that is Augusta National? About Tiger's disappointing week? It's our raw, instant reactions. It's the 2018 Masters recap recorded minutes after the conclusion of the 82nd Masters Tournament.

The boys spent Masters Week at Mr. Gary Player's house and recap the entire experience.

The guys breakdown their experience walking around Augusta National, and recap Thursday's play in the 82nd Masters! 

The boys are in Augusta for the Masters after some late developments. They're staying with Mr. Gary Player in the Black Knight House, having dinner with the 3x Masters champ himself, and watching Tiger Woods compete at Augusta National for the first time in far too long before returning to New York for the weekend. The guys breakdown the course, the field, the hype, and detail their week to come in Augusta for the official 2018 Masters Preview. It's simply the best week of the year!

We're one week out from Masters Week and former Tiger Woods swing coach Hank Haney joins the show. Tiger racked up 6 majors and won 33% of the tournaments he entered under Hank, one of the most dominant stretches in golf history. Hank talks Tiger, the Masters, Ian Poulter's ability to shank the ball, Bubba Watson, Charles Barkley's swing and much more. The boys also recap the WGC Match Play and how Riggs doesn't sleep anymore because the last 50 Masters final rounds are now available on YouTube!!!

Riggs, Trent and Frankie definitively declare that golf is back following an incredible week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Massive crowds. Crazy drama. Huge fist pumps. Low valleys of emotion, high peaks, and everything in between. The boys breakdown several questions from the week: How confident are we about Tiger? Was Rory's call to limit alcohol sales soft? Do we love or hate Patrick Reed citing Jordan Spieth when bitching at a rules official about free relief? Do we love or hate Johnny Miller? It's a big week. It's a big show. Two weeks until Masters week. Golf is back!

The guys break down Tiger's impressive T2 finish at the Valspar Championship, including the “blood red” shirt Tiger wore Sunday, why the blue protracer is the best protracer, and contemplate if Tiger is actually swinging TOO fast. Then we confront Pardon My Take's Big Cat about his love for trolling Tiger Woods fans. Big Cat details his thoughts and feelings on Tiger, Tiger's fans, and what being “back” really means.
