Maddie Luitweiler turned pro in 2019 and has been playing on the WAPT (Women's All Pro Tour) and the Epson Tour. She is the definition of gregarious and we are so lucky that she and Jen met in Ireland this fall!  We talk about Maddie's crazy travel schedule, the evolution of her mental game, the mini-tour-to-LPGA pipeline, Q-school, how hard it is to be quiet at tournaments, the ins and outs of pro-am requirements, and, of course, Maddie & Jen's Irish golf adventure with Palmer Golf.

Allisen Corpuz caught our eye (obviously) with her breakout rookie season on the LPGA, but she has kept our attention by being unafraid to speak out on issues surrounding women's sports, as well as the overturning of Roe v. Wade. She is a refreshing humble young player who is wise beyond her years and has a promising future ahead of her on tour. In short, we want to be her when we grow up. PLUS: we agonize over our Halloween costumes and give you a preview of our big LA adventure! 

Recorded earlier in September, Jen has a chat with her sister & BFF, Rose. Topics include golf, Bravo, growing up, bowling, and much, much more. 

Daniela Darquea came in 2nd at last weekend's AmazingCRE Portland Classic, and we got the exclusive interview with her! We talk about how important this success is after a tough couple of years on Tour, her mindset and how that has impacted her play, and, of course, komodo dragons. She also chats about her experience growing up playing golf in Ecuador and she and Kiki reminisce about their escapades at the US Women's Open.  Plus! Jen gets a new laundry detergent (you can find it here), we discuss whether pandas are real (they probably are), and we confront the media frenzy that ensued from our No Laying Up feature film. Also: we are in search of sponsors! Get in touch if your company is interested: founders@gruetergolf.com

Tune in to hear the extremely exciting story of her run at the 2021 U.S. Mid-Am at Berkeley Hall.

Wade. We then chat with Carly Reid, who gives us some insights into her experience caddying for her wife, LPGA superstar Mel Reid, at the ShopRite Classic in Atlantic City. Caddying is complicated!

Kiki, Haley, & Jen have an awesome chat with former golf ball engineer & current tour caddie Maria Juliana "MaJu" Loza. Jen ran into MaJu at the Chevron Championship and they bonded hard over their love for the LPGA, so we knew she would make the absolute perfect pod guest!Things you'll hear about in this ep: Why some golf balls are more expensive than others and what exactly is inside those things.How Sandra Gal manifested MaJu coming her wayHow she managed to get herself from following the badass soccer ladies playing with Marina Alex in the Palos Verdes Championship to hanging in the owner's box at the Angel City game to marching up to Alexis Ohanion on the field. Also, should Kiki & Haley create annoying catchphrases to even the playing field here?

Our favorite journalist joins us to talk alllllll things LPGA leading up to the last major ever at Mission Hills. What's in store: -Who exactly is Dinah Shore? -Lexi's ups and downs with this tournament, and why this might be the weekend to really pull for her-Updates to the Hall of Fame criteria, including the induction of Lorena Ochoa, Shirley Spork, and all the LPGA Founders (and how it shows the importance of Beth Ann's journalism skills!) Make sure to follow her @GolfWeekNichols on Twitter for all the latest serious news this weekend, and be sure to follow along @GrueterGolf on Twitter & IG for the JV reporting!

The only thing that would make us talk extensively about the PGA Tour: DRAMAAAA!!! Up until now, we have been dedicated to learning about the Saudi Arabia/ SGL situation strictly from word of mouth, but we finally found the right guy with the right framework to really help us understand what's happening. We coincidentally recorded this the week before Phil really let loose on the PGA Tour, so missed out on his most egregious comments, but safe to say that Will Bardwell, for one, was NOT surprised that Mickelson showed his ass in his comments to Alan Shipnuck.  Tune in to hear Will share his sage wisdom regarding sportswashing, why Phil Mickelson has actually always been a scumbag, and how he came around to starting his blog, the Lying Four, as an alternative to mainstream golf coverage. Check him out on Twitter and on his blog, Lying Four. Recommended reading: 1. "Blind Men and Blood" 2. "Phil Mickelson is Not A Nice Guy"

Back in December, we laid down with the shrinks at Group Golf Therapy and went deep within our feelings on golf, life, and of course, the whole Saudi Arabia thing (kinda). Drew, Connor, and Brad are wonderfully thoughtful people, and in this rollicking episode, we discuss how their beautiful friendship is a a platonic male love story for the ages; Jen's journey to becoming jaded as a cartgirl in college; new year's resolutions; and a giveaway that actually already happened back in December!Support Group Golf Therapy on Patreon, and make sure to tune into their groundbreaking pod and follow them on Instagram!

The moment we have all been waiting for! We catch up with our favorite Solheim phenom, Leona Maguire, in the wake of her first win at the LPGA Drive On Championship. With this win, Leona becomes the first Irish woman to win on the LPGA Tour! We ask her alllllll about her meteoric rise to fame at home in Ireland and worldwide, what she was thinking leading up to the win, and, of course, get the story behind the legendary gold BMW convertible that she cruised in for her Solheim victory parade.  We try really hard not to freak her out-- let us know how we did! lmaoP.S.

We'll be honest: we had some jitters interviewing the Interview Master himself, Soly Solomon! But our nerves quickly melted away as he regaled us with everything from the LPGA (duh!) to his time living in Europe to how his friendship with Rory McIlroy laid the groundwork for what would eventually become the No Laying Up media empire.

We really did record this in 2021. The more things change, the more they stay the same... Happy New Year, y'all!

Bradford Wilson is a star. Our first introduction to him was his "Dear Golf" video (watch Part I here and Part II here).  We get a little loose and talk about how Bradford came to golf (shout out to his grandmother!), played in college, and eventually left the game before coming back to ascend the throne. His content "puts the medicine in the candy" by taking cues from popular social media bits, but adding the representation that should be more commonplace. Also, we talk about microdosing! Check out Bastet's Test here. It is hysterical. You can find @bradfordwilsongolf here, and check out Group Golf Therapy here! And check out Grueter Golf here!

New Jersey native and former golf prodigy Sheenah Pegeron joins the girls for this wonderful episode recorded back in April (apologies for the delay!).

Sheenah grew up playing (and winning) in the John Shippen youth golf program at Scotch Hills CC (the artist formerly known as the Shady Rest), but didn't know the full history of the club until a chance encounter with Lamont Davis in the parking lot of the course changed her life. We also talk about her teaching style and how she fosters a true love for the game among the youth, as well as her own illustrious junior career. Plus! A teaching moment featuring DMX (RIP). Learn more about the Shady Rest Golf Club here, and check out the Preserve Shady Rest website for more John Shippen & Shady Rest history.
