LIV ship sinking?, Incredible Colonial stories of yore, and SGS Golf Advice
5/29/20261 hr 14 min
Andy and Brendan! went LIVE on YouTube for this Friday morning recording covering the latest in college golf results, LIV golf rumors, and a hot start for Tom Kim at an outdoor golf venue. The two recap Stanford's win at the NCAA Women's Golf Championship and wonder why college golf has not taken off like other non-revenue sports like baseball and softball in recent years. Brendan shares some intel from LIV Korea, where it seems like tensions are high heading into next week's stop in Spain. Talor Gooch has the early lead there, perhaps as a tribute to his beloved Thunder's deep run into the Western Conference Finals. LIV also discontinued its "Any Shot, Any Time" feed on the app, making Andy wonder just how many app viewers are now left in the dark due to this unannounced change. A beefy Flashback Friday on the PGA Tour's history at Colonial Country Club makes for the bulk of this episode. Brendan did some digging and found articles written by one of Lee Harvey Oswald's pallbearers that go into detail about the hijinks about the early days of the PGA Tour's time in Fort Worth. As we come to find out, some articles even quoted a player as naming Colonial “the premier girl-watching stop on Tour." SGS Golf Advice rounds out the week, with Andy, Brendan, and PJ tackling submissions about playing golf with randoms, a late WD from a buddies' tournament, and what to do if someone skins a squirrel they kept in a cart cooler.

Brendan, I'm doing fantastic. I just ... I'm so excited to be here to chat about, uh, Tom Kim's resurgence. Tom Sim playing good real golf.
Brendan Porath· Host0:58
He has played decent, decent real golf. Obviously qualified for the, uh, US Open, I believe, in Dallas sectional about a week ago. Playing decent on the PGA Tour. Uh, honestly, is he doing well at Colonial? I guess he's- Yeah ... one under through two today, seven under yes- uh, total. So he's- First round FRL. FRL. I also had ... And a real one and done pick, I had, uh, Matt McCarty too in, in the one I pay for, so I'm happy about that. McCarty was an FRL.
