Tap-In Bogey Podcast

Another quality pod from the fellas recapping a the results and reactions to the Genesis and Honda Classic, as well as some anticipation for the Players coming up, where we get reacquainted with time zones across BC, AB, and eastern States.  We also talk life and where Ben might stay for the foreseeable future, expensive memberships outside of Terrace, and we get soft talking about our favorite 4some... the golf kind, sickos. Listen on for some more of our unprofessional commentary on professional sports and, as always, tap it in.

We're back with a vengeance. The boys now have SEGMENTS to go through as we bring you our unprofessional commentary on professional sports: News in Golf, Our Game, Tech and Gear, Toplists, and the Tap-in Tracker. We're shipping Rickie Fowler at the Waste Management Open as he makes his way out of the basement of golf rankings to find his first top-10 finish in nearly a decade, and a new Canadian name makes it within 2 of Scottie Scheffler's top spot - we're digging the respect Canadian golfers are starting to get from commentators!

Reunited and it feels so gooooood.... The boys are finally back together and get to do what they love best: golf, then talk about golf. We recap what has happened since Deklan left in the summer time, the wins Ben has racked up, and tournaments we want to play in next season. Listen to our take on how LIV Golf has turned out, and what our plans are for the duo are next year, and how the Graham Avenue Podcast inspired us to keep this pod alive despite Deklan's traitorous move to PG.

The trend of this podcast is that we host people who are better at golf and much better spoken than us - this episode is no different. What is different is that we have the first golf coach for Caledonia High in over a decade on this episode, David Lewis. He takes us through the experience of starting up the team, gathering support and players, and ultimately sending 5 of Terrace's best young golfers to Provincials. The story sounds awesome and rewarding, and we'll definitely be trying to find a way to support the team in their next season!

An absolute beauty makes a solo return this season to chat about his TRANSFORMATIVE stay at adult golf camp, the start of his season, reflections on past seasons, myth and legend of all-sport athlete Jared Stephens, and what's to come for a quarter of the Van Dyk brotherhood.  He brought notes, folks, so you should listen.

Opening week for SVGC came early! This never happens. It's just that it's so hot... Anyway... the northwest's best golf pro and Skeena Valley's super superintendent learn us good with some awesome stories and in-depth knowledge on the projects for this year, how things are maintained, and some history of the course and the people that make it run as smooth as it does.

A great way to finish Season 1 - a great chat with Thanassi Tsardidis. You may remember a reference by the Van Dyk brothers and some comments about his handicap... Well in this episode we get into it and the plot thickens! Barely. The guy's a beauty. Listen to the podcast, stop reading this. See y'all in the new season!

Long-awaited, often imitated, never replicated, the man of our hearts, James Inkster. We finally got him on the pod. Listen on to our season's penultimate episode on the highs and lows of James's golf career so far, some of the new gear he's got for the season, and other hot takes. We had some technical difficulties, but don't worry - he's coming back in season 2 to give us more gold!

Evan and Scott Van Dyk graced us with their presence to give all sorts of awesome perspectives on things from their win at the Men's Open, to a tragic hole during the Member's Champ, to game improvement techniques they're using to come back next season better than ever. Did you know that there's ADULT GOLF CAMP?? We've already booked for next winter.

Did our gift list podcasts help with your holiday shopping this year? Probably as much as the new gear will help our game... but despite the tools not being the only thing behind a tradesman's skill, we sure do think it'll be the game-changer this year. Listen to the guys talk about the stuff they got for Christmas and their New Year resolutions. We're taking over-under bets for our handicap hopes.

Have you got all the gifts on your list? What about our list? Check it and see if you completely missed the mark on getting the goods for the golfer in your life. If you are that golfer, what are you doing? Show this podcast to your significant other immediately so you can get that last-minute panic gift that's more than you deserve. Happy holidays, ya filthy animals.

The fellas are back from a brief hiatus and want to supply your loved ones with some ideas for the holidays. This first instalment comes during a round of PGA 2K21 seeing as virtual golf is the only outlet we have now. Please listen to our off-season ramblings, and spoiler: it's just as incoherent as it is during the season.

Forever furious not being the first Tyler Clark(e) on the pod, the local legend himself graces us with his presence and talks about 3 of his freshest sticks in the bag, how he got down to a 16 handicap, and starts the trash talk and head games with Benny during the podcast that is on the eve of the last 9 holes of Match 2.0. Will it be enough to throw Ben and James off their game? Probably not.

It's been a while since we've had a good chat about what we've been up to, so Deklan recaps the golf he got to enjoy on vacation, Benny tells his harrowing tale of missing Day 2 of the Members' Champ, and the gauntlet gets thrown down LIVE by Linkster and Benny. We couldn't end the season without a bang, now could we??

The guys recap several weeks of lots of good golf on the pro level, Ben's career round, and some consistently decent play. As a new segment, we also check in, live, with Germain who has recently committed to #nodaysoff until hunting season to get himself to a point where he can decide to try for the Waste Management's Monday qualifier.

Ann and Kim have been friends and golf partners for the last 8 years and they've been cleaning up the hardware in northwest BC - they've recently won low gross and/or low net at the ladies open tournaments in Terrace, Kitimat, and Smithers. The boys get the background on how Ann and Kim came upon the sport, their influence on the game of golf in Terrace, and how women's involvement in the game has changed in recent years and how. These ladies are great competitors and if you have a chance to play a round with them - take it!

Benny's good buddy from Van Island gives us a recap of some wild, weird, and wonderful times playing and working at some of the great courses around North America. The guy is an absolute beauty and goes low, and deletes beers, and knows how to dial in a green. Take a listen then get out there and tap it in!

Deklan and Ben get taken to school by Professor Germain on a unique pod this week. They want to shape their shots but don't want to work that hard to do it - might seem like a tall task, but Germain was up for it and made some changes to their swings and voila, they can shape their shots on purpose sometimes!

Half of this year's champion team of the SVGC Men's Open, Tyler Gibson, chats with the fellas about his love of golf, his chill attitude but confident competitive side, and hopes and dreams of playing on tour. This absolute beauty's got some cool stories from times in golf from university to caddying in the states so listen in!

The guys recount the good, the bad, and the sweaty of the Men's Open at SVGC, they talk about the skills competition, weather, and some upcoming tournaments and interviews.

Tomorrow (July 2) marks the first round of the 2021 SVGC Men's Open and the listeners just want to know how much and what we're drinking as if we'd drink alcohol during a competitive event... we will and we'll tell you. Listen and find out how we calculate a beer:hole ratio, what you can do to win a sleeve of balls, and what Team Tap-In is wearing for the tourney - look good, feel good, play good, right?

Listeners, we've peaked. We had the star of Big Brother Canada's 9th season and hilariously charismatic radio host, Kiefer Collison on the show for an interview. We talk Big Brother, golf on Haida Gwaii, meeting an internationally-renowned golf pro, and what's next for him in life as he builds on his hard work and success. The boys close the pod with recap a great weekend golfing at the Linkster Open - listen on to find out which podcaster won it (hint - it's not who you think). 

Enjoy as the boys get roasted by the one-and-only Germain Francoeur, the head professional at Skeena Valley. This special interview edition of the pod is full of great information from someone who actually knows how to play golf, so the guys chat with Germain about tips, favourite courses, the future of SVGC, and how you shouldn't have got that driver and cheaper out on your trash putter. Make better choices. Tap it in.

While Mickelson makes history being the oldest pro to win a Major, Deklan and Ben talk about Koepka and Dechambeau's rivalry turning into a viral meme. Deklan has a new career low score, Ben has a rough round at home, and the boys have some new gear. Will Ben's new gear be the difference maker for his match games against Gage? Maybe, maybe not. Enjoy our super mature sexual innuendos.

The boys talk about the good vibes they enjoyed during a round and a half at Hirsch Creek (aka Ben's best day ever), picks for the PGA Championship this week, and some new threads Ben got for his bday that he's going to absolutely rock at his next tee time. Tune in and enjoy your cousin's 8th favorite sports podcast and our recap of mediocre golf this week!

Benny and Deklan have blowup rounds, Rory wins for the first time in two years, and Garrett leaves the plastic on. Listen on for questions from the fans, green maintenance facts, Ben saying "agronomonomist", and Deklan's pet peeves.

Deklan shot a career low 98 this week and gets absolutely roasted for hat choice (you guessed it), Ben is working on his short game, and the boys have little to say about the Valspar tournament. Get a blast from the past from a few golf names hitting leaderboards the first time in a while, and fall in love with the #BMV movement - Big Mike Visaki, we love you.

The boys chat about how they played way too much golf this week ahead of the rain in the forecast. Ben shoots his career low, Deklan shoots his first birdie of the season, and the boys talk shoes and where the line is on fashion and pace of play. Did you know that Ben shot his career low? He's telling everyone.

The boys' third, most recent episode looks at their mediocre (but improving) play last weekend at Skeena Valley's opening weekend, and Stewie Cink and son join the club of winners with 1000+ days since their last victory. Golf in northwest BC is just starting and the weather showed up for it... on that note, any sunblock companies want to sponsor the 56th best North American amateur golf podcast? No? Ok, we'll hit you up later.

Ben and Deklan recap last week's Masters tournament and their pool results, talk dream golf trips, and some exciting news about their own upcoming golf games as the Skeena Valley Golf and Country Club opens up for 2021.
