Live from the Kill House

This week's TrapDraw is a worldwide exclusive! Lee Sanderlin, of Jackson, Mississippi, joins Tron Carter to discuss his penance for finishing last in his fantasy football league--24 hours in a Waffle House (with time off for each waffle consumed). The story went viral last week and Lee, a big TrapDraw fan, eschewed larger media outlets to give us the exclusive. Hear all about the ordeal--the strategy, worst parts, lives he touched--and much more about Lee. Enjoy!

The No Laying Up collective chops it up with a wide variety of guests from all corners of the golf world, and more importantly, guests from the golf-adjacent world. 



146: Lee Sanderlin & 24 Hours in a Waffle House

We're back with the third installment of the 'A Course Called America' book series, this time detailing the second half of the book (pages 195 and beyond). Randy and Tom chat about a litany of topics out of the book before welcoming on Ben Hotaling, one of the founders of Brough Creek National which Tom bestowed with the honor of the Great American Golf Course. Ben details what made him and his buddies create a seven-hole layout in one of their backyards, what he's learned along the way, and how people can go see and play it for themselves. Enjoy!

Another Perfect Club this week and we got the gang back together! DJ Pie, Kevin Van Valkenburg, and Randy discuss Bo Burnham's new Netflix special, "Inside". The trio talk about their knowledge of Bo Burnham before watching, break down the themes of the show, and discuss their thoughts while venturing down more than a few tangents along the way. Enjoy!

(Note: music clips appear off of Bo Burnham's album, "Inside (The Songs)" which is the soundtrack for this special)

This week we head to Sweden on the TrapDraw! The men's and women's European Tours are hosting the Scandinavian Mixed at Vallda G&CC in Gothenburg, Sweden. Unlike other mixed events, this is a singular competition involving the men and women for the week. It's a pretty cool concept and one Tron and Randy are eager to check out on Golf Channel. After covering some current events in Part 1, Tron chats with his wife's Aunt and Uncle, Stockholm residents and golf enthusiasts, all about their fine country. Main topics include golf, food and restaurants--enjoy!

In this week's episode Randy talks to San Francisco-native, Kira Dixon. Kira works for both the Golf Channel and USGA and is covering the US Women's Open at Olympic Club this week. She discusses the role golf played in her childhood and how she found her way back to it professionally, how she got into pageant life (she was Miss America 2015), and a bunch more. Enjoy!

Better late than never this week! We are off to Las Vegas in conjunction with the LPGA Match Play event at Shadow Creek. Joining Tron and Randy is Benito Martinez, Vegas resident, and food/beverage extraordinaire. Benito has a long history in the restaurant business which he discusses before getting into his top picks for a trip out to Sin City. Whether you've never been (like us), or are a Vegas veteran, we promise you'll come away with a lot of new ideas, and food to try, on your next trip. Enjoy!

Welcome to the first of four episodes exploring Tom Coyne's new book, "A Course Called America". While not a new concept broadly speaking, this book series is a new adventure here on the TrapDraw. And who better, and what better, to give it a go than Tom Coyne and his new book. The hope for this series is for listeners to pick up "A Course Called America" (details for that below), read it, and then tune in to hear an in-depth discussion of what they've just read, featuring not only Tom and Randy but special guests from the book. The Series schedule will be as follows:

Part 2: First Half of the Book--Thursday, June 10th

Part 3: Second Half of the Book--Thursday, June 24th

In today's show, Randy chats with Tom about the genesis for the book, how it differs from his Ireland and Scotland iterations, what it's like to plan a 50-state, 300-round golf odyssey, and so much more. Enjoy!

138: Tom Coyne, A.C.C.A. Book Series Part 1

The TrapDraw is headed to Charleston this week to "preview" the PGA Championship at Kiawah. Tron and Randy catch up on some matters before welcoming on local resident and F&B expert, Shep Rose. Shep is one of the stars of the Bravo show, 'Southern Charm'. He discusses how he found his way on that show, what it's like living in Charleston, and gives a bunch of great food and bar recommendations. Enjoy!

137: Charleston, SC

We're back where we these previews all started, Dallas, the freaking Metroplex! Tron and Randy do their usual thing and chat about current affairs for the first part of the episode before welcoming on this week's special guest, Ben Kirby. If you don't know Ben perhaps you know his social media account, @PreachersNSneakers. Ben is a Dallas-area resident and discusses how the account got started, what he's learned along the way, and breaks down the preachers that appear most often on his feed. Along the way there is a really interesting discussion on the state of modern Christianity in America. Enjoy!

136: The Big D

In today's episode Randy catches up with Golfweek's Beth Ann Nichols (@GolfweekNichols on twitter) to chat about the 2021 LPGA season thus far. Beth Ann was recently named the first-ever female president of the Golf Writers Association of America. She talks about that position and what her role and responsibilities include. They then discuss everything from Lydia Ko's reemergence to the ultra-impressive breakthrough victory of Patty Tavatanakit at the ANA Inspiration. And so much more. Enjoy!

135: Beth Ann Nichols

We're off to Charlotte this week on the TrapDraw! Tron and Randy clean up some items in the first part of the pod and then welcome on Cincinnati-native, and current Charlotte resident, Luke Kuechly. You know Luke from his Hall-of-Fame NFL career where he spent his entire tenure playing for the Carolina Panthers. He talks about the city, his favorite spots, what it was like playing chess against Drew Brees on the football field, and so much more. Enjoy!

134: The Faux Queen City

Big decision to make this week for our preview location, and the more we thought about it, the easier it got. Singapore is a place both Tron and Randy want to get to (via Singapore Airlines ideally), so it made sense to talk about the island-nation this week as they play host to the LPGA. Joining TC and Randy is very special guest, Mark Adams. Mark has lived in Singapore for many years and travels extensively all across the region. The guys ask him all about his home, from food to golf and everything in-between. And be sure to stick around for Mark's *crazy* experience on Singapore Airlines in 1991, as well as some bonus NBA talk at the end. Enjoy!

133: Singapore

DJ, Neil and Randy are back for their second annual Oscars preview! The trio discuss a number of different categories (favorite actor, favorite actress, overrated/underrated movies, etc) before diving in to the eight Best Picture nominees this year. Discussion of those movies begins at the following times: 48:40 for "The Father", 59:00 for "A Sound of Metal", 1:16:42 for "Judas and the Black Messiah", 1:27:44 for "Mank", 1:39:30 for "Promising Young Woman", 1:57:55 for "Minari", 2:12:52 for "The Trial of the Chicago 7", and 2:19:00 for "Nomadland". Enjoy!

The Big Easy! Randy's favorite American city, and inexplicably, somewhere Tron has never been. The two of them clear up some quick housekeeping items before welcoming Ben Goodly, curator of the blog, 

, to talk about the food and drink scene in New Orleans. Ben has a regular job by day but explores his passion through food on the side. He has created a mock itinerary for the boys and is a great resource for any trip down to NOLA. Enjoy!

131: NOLA

It's been a little bit since we've done a Perfect Club episode, so what better time than now as we all come off our Masters-induced frenzy. This episode is a discussion between Randy, DJ Pie, and ESPN's Kevin Van Valkenburg about the show, "In & Of Itself." Currently streaming on Hulu, the show is the creation of Derek DelGaudio and, well, if you've seen it, you know what it's about. And if you haven't seen it, watch it first before listening to this episode--we think the show will be worth your time. Enjoy!

130: "In & Of Itself" Perfect Club

The title of this episode says it all. Masters week. Augusta, Georgia. Tron and Randy discuss the Big Guy's move out west, clear some housekeeping items, and then welcome on singer-songwriter, Mike Stone. You might have heard Mike's music advertised on PGA Tour radio or Golf Channel--he's got two golf-related hits, "One Week in April" and "Thank You Arnie (We're Your Army)". Mike comes on to talk about his music career, the reasons behind writing the two aforementioned tracks, what's next for him, and much more! Couldn't love Mike's attitude and energy more. Enjoy!
