About this Episode
This week we are putting various things in the golf world under the microscope to decide one ultimate verdict: do they hit the sweet spot, are they a total shank, or do they land somewhere in between?
On the Front Nine: Sweet Spot or Shank? (Part 1): We kick off our rapid-fire rating segment covering everything from brutal fall golf conditions and high-loft wedge bunker tactics to putter price tags, public course speed-greens, monster 7,000+ yard layouts, range warm-ups, playing without a driver (à la Rory McIlroy), half-set casual rounds, and corporate product collaborations.
On the Back Nine: Sweet Spot or Shank? (Part 2): The debate continues! We dive into more polarizing golf topics, including the classic two-iron, equipment "win" press releases, oversized letter golf hats, “high-end” alignment sticks, casual-round "honours" etiquette, resort caddies, the dreaded turn-stop taking longer than 5 minutes, 9-woods, and social media influencer golf tips.
This episode is presented by Srixon Golf, with additional support from Metcalfe Golf and Falcon Ridge Golf Club.
