  <itunes:subtitle>There's plenty to talk about on this show as the outdoor golf season in most parts of North America draws closer.

For those in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, we’ll provide updates on range and course openings, discuss the release of the 2025 Golf Facility Openings Calendar at Flagstick.com, and highlight courses that are already open in Ontario.

With the Canadian dollar struggling against foreign currencies, we’ve seen an increase in requests from people looking to spend their golf travel dollars within Canada this year. We dive into that, exploring destinations now on the radar for upcoming golf trips.

Jeff has spent some time on TikTok recently and stumbled upon some "Hot Takes" on golf. This sparks a conversation about twelve-hole courses and twilight green fees that might pique your interest.

On the Back Nine, we take a broader look at Rory McIlroy following his recent victory at The Players Championship, which brings him close to $100 million in career PGA TOUR earnings. We discuss his legacy, what the future may hold for him, what’s holding him back from winning The Masters, and what a win at Augusta National could do for his public perception.

  <itunes:subtitle>Soooo much to talk about this week. Golf season is firing up on the pro tours, equipment scene, and travel business. We dip into a lot of it. Part of it is chatting about the latest Canadian winner on the Korn Ferry Tour and a huge player announcement for the 2025 RBC Canadian Open at TPC Osprey Valley.

On the Back 9, we discuss the TGL and where we stand with it after week three. There are a few hot takes, so you may want to tune in to those.
