The Balls Out Podcast

After a weekend filled with cold hats, sticks and some degenerate gambling, the duo's back at it. They come out of the gate swingin' with the recent Phil Mickelson/Detroit bookie debacle and cover some gambling stories (until 7:35). Then, Rich and Rog recap their round with the nun from Rich's elementary school (until 9:45). Finally, we get a few of Rog's famous golf jokes, a Brooksy/Bryson match and some beginner golf betting tips. Go Balls Out. Always!

The duo is off this week on a bender (hittin' sticks, and a couple of pops), but as a palate cleanser to next week, Rog gives the fans an opening into his gig manning the first tee at Half Moon Bay Golf Course. Plus, he talks the pantheon of California golf courses.

Rich comes out of the gate 'hot' and ready with his Thursday Match Play story, filled with 3 putts, tequila withdrawals and an unfortunate run-in with heatstroke (until 5:26). Then, Rog gives us his classic Mac O'Grady story (until 9:38) and the duo discuss the parallels with baseball and golf, Scottsdale, PGA picks and a classic Rog golf joke (until 35:55). Finally, Rich closes with his review of the Hay Short Course at Pebble Beach.
