Chasing Daylight Podcast

Send us a textGolf is about finding what truly works for you - whether that's the right putter, the perfect course challenge, or that one magical shot that keeps you coming back for more.This week, we dive deep into the surprising reality of equipment choices on the PGA Tour, revealing that despite Scotty Cameron's cult following among amateurs, the best putters in professional golf overwhelmingly choose Odyssey mallets. Our analysis of the top 25 strokes-gained leaders challenges conventional wisdom and might make you reconsider what belongs in your bag.The conversation pivots to course conditions as we explore Coyote Springs' dramatic transformation. The maintenance team has allowed rough around bunkers to grow to punishing heights, creating "automatic penalties" for players who miss the fairway. This approach has turned an already challenging course into an even more formidable test - one that will humble even the most confident golfers. We compare its value against Piute, weighing factors beyond just price to help you decide which desert gem deserves your next tee time.Dan shares the story of his recent albatross (or double eagle, depending on your preference), a statistical rarity even more uncommon than a hole-in-one. His driver-pitching wedge combination on a par 5 serves as a reminder that golf's most magical moments often arrive unexpectedly.We also touch on Scottie Scheffler's dominant performance at the CJ Cup, where he tied the PGA Tour scoring record, and critique the disappointing television coverage of the recent Black Desert tournament that failed to showcase one of America's most visually stunning courses.Whether you're debating your next equipment purchase, planning a Las Vegas golf trip, or simply looking for insights into what makes a golf course truly great, this episode delivers the perfect combination of practical advice and pure golf appreciation.

Send us a textExploring Laughlin Ranch's exceptional desert golf layout tops our agenda this week, as Jeremy and Dan experience this hidden gem for the first time. The course earns unanimous praise from our crew for its strategic design, challenging greens, and memorable finishing stretch. "It's scorable, but it's also a thin line between being scorable and also will whip your ass," Jeremy observes, highlighting the course's perfect balance of accessibility and challenge.The confusing tee markers spark a heated debate, with Joe frustrated by the identical mining-cart-wheel markers that lack clear color differentiation. "I just wish there was a zinc plating on those T-markers, or a gold plating or a copper plating, because they all look the same," he argues, while others defend the unique mining-themed design. Despite this minor complaint, all agree Laughlin Ranch belongs in their personal top-10 rankings.We dive into golf equipment reselling on Whatnot, with Joe and Matt sharing both success stories and warnings about potential scams. "If you're not educated, you can fall for that easily," Matt cautions, offering tips for scoring legitimate deals on the increasingly popular platform. The conversation shifts to Justin Thomas's impressive 61 at Harbortown, with Jeremy providing perspective from having played the notoriously tight course himself. We also recap the recent TopGolf Invitational, where Dan's enthusiastic participation in the alcohol offerings led to some memorable singing across Horizon Ridge.

Send us a textThe golf equipment rabbit hole runs deep in this laughter-filled episode as the crew shares their latest struggles and triumphs on the course. When Matt reveals he's hitting his driver better than ever while completely losing his iron game, the others commiserate about the perpetual balancing act that is golf improvement.A spirited debate erupts over wedge selection, with Joe passionately defending his 60-degree wedge despite admitting it only produces magic 1% of the time. "That 1% when it works is better than the 99% that failed," he argues, perfectly capturing the optimistic delusion every golfer knows all too well. Meanwhile, others have converted to the 58-degree camp, with testimonials pouring in from listeners who've made the switch.The conversation shifts to the addictive world of online golf equipment buying, with confessions about deleting the Whatnot app to prevent further gear accumulation. "It's a marketplace where you can score some shit if you know your shit," Joe explains, before warning listeners, "But don't do it. But if you want to try and buy stuff you can't get anywhere else, do it. But I suggest not doing it."The crew provides a thoughtful analysis of TGL's inaugural season, offering constructive criticism about how to improve the simulator golf league. From eliminating the repetitive "speed bump" on every green to keeping player microphones open for more authentic interactions, their suggestions come from a place of wanting the innovative format to succeed.Looking ahead to tournament preparations and the approaching Masters, the enthusiasm builds for upcoming play and viewing parties.

Send us a textThe eternal golf equipment debate takes center stage as Joe abandons his trusted Strokes Gained putter pre tournament, comparing it to putting a misbehaving child in "timeout." This sparks a fascinating conversation about the psychology behind our club choices and when to make changes. Meanwhile, Jeremy delivers perhaps the most shocking equipment news imaginable - his conversion from a die-hard Titleist devotee to a new Callaway driver owner. The team jokes that Jeremy must have "a Titleist serial number engraved on an artery connected to his heart," making this change comparable to a religious conversion. His tournament victory with the new driver suggests that performance ultimately trumps brand loyalty.The discussion evolves into memorable analogies when comparing golf equipment preferences to face wash and Mexican food, culminating in the instant-classic line: "Lab is the menudo of golf." This perfectly captures how equipment choice remains deeply personal despite what others might think.We break down Tiger Woods' devastating Achilles rupture (describing "minimally invasive surgery" as perhaps the kindest description ever of such a brutal injury), preview The Players Championship with odds and sleeper picks, and discuss the surprising restoration of TPC Sawgrass to Pete Dye's original strategic design intent.The VGN Boulder City Municipal tournament recap reveals the challenges of adapting to dormant course conditions, while the upcoming Creator Classic at TPC Sawgrass promises entertainment from golf's content community.
