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!

Marcus Armitage, aka "The Bullet", joins DJ and Tron to recount his roller coaster of a journey through the ranks of professional golf, the process of overcoming drug addiction after the loss of his mother, competing in the 2018 Open Championship, and some amazing stories from his time on the Challenge and European Tours.

Big Randy and Neil discuss the Camargo Club located outside Cincinnati, OH. The Camargo Club is a 1927 Seth Raynor design that features arguable the best collection of Par 3s in the world. Like other Raynor or his mentor C.B. Macdonald designs, The Camargo Club features template holes including the Redan, Eden, Short and Biarritz. Tom Doak and Renaissance Golf completed a restoration of the course in the early 2000's focusing mostly on greens and bunkers which were changed in the last 80s. It is an absolute must play if you are ever afforded the opportunity!

Crash Course, Episode 19: The Camargo Club

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!

A heptathlete, and as it turns out, none of those sports actually included golf. Troy Mullins joins to tell us about becoming a long drive champion, teaching Mandarin, playing professional golf, where her swing speed comes from, African-American women in golf, and so much more.

The 1991 Ryder Cup changed the event forever. But how? We chatted with many of the key players of the event, including Paul Azinger, Bernhard Langer, Mark Calcavecchia, Dave Stockton, Hale Irwin, Paul Broadhurst, Corey Pavin, Jim Moriarty, Lanny Wadkins, and more. Soly read every book he could find, scoured YouTube, and came up with this two hour episode full of some famous stories, and some that you probably haven't heard. From Seve's antics, his feud with Azinger, Calc's breakdown, a car crash, a rivalry among captains, all the way down to the final putt. This was a blast to put together, and we appreciate you listening.

425 - 1991 Ryder Cup Deep Dive

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!

Neil and Cody discuss Montana and the beautiful Whitefish Lake Golf Course. This 36 hole facility features massive northern pines which line each fairway, bent grass greens, and views of Whitefish Lake on the North Course and Lost Coon Lake on the South.

Marc Leishman and Cam Smith win in a playoff, and we unpack the week in New Orleans, including (of course) format talk, what makes foursomes cool, TPC Louisiana, how this event fits on the schedule, and a lot more.

This traditional course features narrow, tree-lined fairways, so shot accuracy is at a premium. The greens are small and undulating. The course was originally a Tom Bendelow design that was remodeled by Donald Ross to its current configuration in 1922. Palma Ceia is host to the annual Gasparilla Invitational which has included numerous Walker Cup Members and Amateur Champions.

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!

Stewart Cink wins his second event of the season, and we chat about the 47 year old's resurgence, his son on the bag, Morikawa, McNealy, Harbour Town, and everything else from the RBC Heritage.

422 - RBC Heritage/Lotte Championship Recap

Rockaway Hunting Club located in Lawrence, NY was founded in 1878. Not originally built for golf when fox hunting and steeplechase were popular, and along with the Meadowbrook Polo Club, Rockaway was one of the twin powers of early American polo. Golf arrived a few years later. First with a 9-holer in place by 1895 and a full 18 by 1900. The history of the course is that of an architectural hybrid, with Tom Bendelow, Devereux Emmet, A.W. Tillinghast, Perry Maxwell, and others contributing to a design that—while settled into its current routing by the mid-20th century—has continued to evolve. The most recent phase is now completed in the form of a comprehensive update by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, one that sees the course poised to move from the category of “hidden gem” to that of “must see.”

Crash Course, Episode 16: Rockaway Hunting Club

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!
