An emotional Rory McIlroy finally captures the Masters, and KC, Damon, and Ryan jump on the mic for an instant reaction show. A proud moment for KC, the resident Irishman, as he gives his countryman props for closing it out—but the big question remains: will Rory add more majors this year and beyond?The crew also recaps a few other big storylines: Justin Rose's strong showing, DeChambeau's backyard pint stop, none of the crew's dark horse picks came through; Lowry had a tough +9 final round, and Aberg's slip-up on 18 cost him any sliver of hope. Matsuyama quietly carded the low round of Sunday, and once again, Augusta National proved why it's golf's Disneyland with flawless conditions and world-class organization.In our Japan travel segment, we spotlight Oita—famous for its incredible onsen towns, 22 golf courses, fresh seafood, and the local favorite, Mugi Shochu.(And a quick correction: Ben Hogan also completed the career Grand Slam, making it six players in history not 5 as KC points out- sumimasen!)Today's Podcast is in association with Titleist:https://golf-in-japan.com/titleist-fitting-experienceMentioned in the podcast:https://golf-in-japan.com/courses/oita

pWotD Episode 2904: Grand Slam (golf) Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 319,048 views on Monday, 14 April 2025 our article of the day is Grand Slam (golf).In golf, winning all of golf's major championships in the same calendar year constitutes the Grand Slam. In the amateur era, this feat was achieved in 1930 when Bobby Jones won the four major tournaments of that era open to amateurs: the The Amateur Championship, the Open Championship, the United States Open, and the United States Amateur. Modern variations include a Career Grand Slam, which involves winning all of the major tournaments within a player's career. Six golfers have accomplished this: Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy. There is also the Tiger Slam, achieved by winning four consecutive major titles but not in the same calendar year; this variation is named after Woods, the only player to accomplish the feat.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:46 UTC on Tuesday, 15 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Grand Slam (golf) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Ivy.

In Part 2 of Season 12, Episode 16, I'm joined once again by our great friend and 9-time winner across the PGA Tour and Champions Tour, Tom Purtzer. This time around, Tom and I dive into a thought-provoking conversation about the direction of the PGA Tour—whether their current moves are aimed at growing the game or favoring their top players, and if their actions are simply an overreaction to the competition posed by LIV Golf. We also look back at 1991, the best year of Tom's career, which came 18 years after he turned pro. He shares fond memories of winning both the World Series of Golf and the Texas Open, the latter of which earned him a coveted seat next to Ben Hogan at the following year's champions dinner. Tom's insight, humility, and great storytelling always make for a fantastic listen, and I know you're going to really enjoy hearing from one of the game's true legends and gentlemen.

The focal point of this podcast episode is the engaging discussion surrounding Michael Arkush's recently published work, "The Golf 100: A Spirited Ranking of Golf's Greatest Players of All Time." In this episode, we delve into the intricate criteria Arkush employed to rank legendary golfers, thereby highlighting the significant contributions each player made to the sport's history. Arkush articulates a deep-seated respect for golf's rich heritage, emphasizing the need to recognize and honor the past, particularly in an era that often prioritizes the present. Our conversation traverses the notable achievements of various golfing icons, including the contrasting legacies of Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, as well as the profound impact of figures like Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan. We invite our audience to engage with these compelling narratives and reflect on the enduring reverence that the game of golf commands.Links referenced in this episode:golfnewsnet.combirdieball.compaintedhillsbeef.compigpowder.comwestonkia.comCompanies mentioned in this episode: Westin Weston Kia Birdie Ball Painter Hills Natural Beef Pig Powder Golf Newsnet ESPN This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

In this special bonus episode of Next on the Tee, I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Russell Levenson. Russ recently retired after 32 years in ministry, most notably serving 17 years as Rector of St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston—the largest Anglican/Episcopal congregation in North America. He's a renowned theologian, author, and speaker who also developed a deep friendship with President George H.W. and First Lady Barbara Bush. Russ talks about his inspiring new book, “In God's Grip: What Golf Can Teach Us About the Bible,” with a foreword by the legendary Jim Nantz. We dive into the powerful spiritual and life lessons drawn from golf and how the swing philosophies of Ben Hogan intertwine with Biblical wisdom. From focusing on fundamentals to letting go of perfection, Russ explores how the mindset that helped Hogan master the game can also guide our spiritual journeys. We also reflect on his close relationship with the Bush family, what heaven meant to them, and how the second half of the book—The Downswing—challenges our assumptions about God as a harsh judge, encouraging instead a perspective of grace, abundance, and purpose. Plus, we talk Augusta, Oakmont, and Jim Nantz's unforgettable first Masters call in 1986. This conversation is full of insight, inspiration, and a few good swings of perspective. Whether you're seeking more meaning in your game or your life, this is one you won't want to miss.

GS#991 Summary This week we talk to author Jim Flynn, who shares insights about his humorous approach to golf and writing. Flynn discusses his book 'Hit Your Second Shot First,' which combines a touch of snarkiness and golf humor with practical advice for golfers who appreciate a light-hearted take on the sport. The conversation touches on Flynn's writing journey, his experiences on the golf course, and the mental aspects of the game, including the influence of legendary golfer Ben Hogan. Flynn emphasizes the importance of humor in golf and how it can enhance the playing experience. Jim talks about the importance of investing in golf lessons rather than new equipment, the humorous aspects of slow play, and the delusions many golfers have about their abilities. Jim also touches on the process of writing his books, including the challenges of researching golf legends and the balance between humor and seriousness in his writing.Get more when your visit the refreshed golfsmarter.com!Introduce an Upcoming Episode: Receive free gifts for recording a show opening by clicking on "Record Your Show Open Here!" tab on the right side of golfsmarter.com. Watch Daily Video Highlights from Our Interviews: Follow @golfsmarter on Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube daily to see our highlights and helpful insights from our interviews on the podcast. Post a Review: you'll receive three free gifts when you post an honest review about Golf Smarter the podcast.Fill Out a Listener Survey: It only takes a few minutes to fill out our survey, which helps us to better serve your interests in the podcast.

Jack Nicklaus, winner of 18 professional major championships and two U.S. Amateur titles, joins us for a look back at his experience in the majors. In this episode we explore his U.S. Open record. Listen in as Jack recounts his U.S. Amateur victories and competing in his first major at the 1957 U.S. Open at Inverness playing as a 17-year-old amateur. He takes us through his near-miss at Cherry Hills in 1960 where he played his final two round with Ben Hogan. Jack broke Hogan's scoring record prevailing at the 1967 event at Baltusrol. Two second-place finishes to Trevino in 1968 and 1971 preceded his second win at Pebble Beach in 1972, famed for his spectacular 1-iron shot on the 17th. He shares memories of his final win in 1980, again at Baltusrol, and again setting a new scoring record. You will enjoy his retelling of Tom Watson's famous chip-in to sneak past Jack in 1982 at Pebble Beach and his disappointment with how he finished his final U.S. Open in 2000. Jack Nicklaus concludes this segment by reflecting back on the importance of the U.S. Open to himself and other American golfers, "FORE the Good of the Game."Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.The Top 100 in 10 Golf PodcastThe story of a quest to play the Top 100 Golf courses in the UK & Ireland in just 10 yearsListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showFollow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xNzM3Mjc1LnJzcw About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.

From its origins as a wellness retreat to its ascent into the pantheon of golf, Pinehurst has been transforming people's lives for more than a century. As Jim Dodson first discovered when he was 13, there's something about the place and its world-famous course, Pinehurst No. 2, that's a cure for life's problems.    In episode 1, Dodson explores the origins of the fabled "Pinehurst Cure" and its earliest recipients, including founder James Walker Tufts, famed golf architect Donald Ross, and golf legend Ben Hogan.

June 9, 2024 - Ben Hogan - I Must Decrease by Buford Church of Christ

The Pinehurst Cure and the Road to the US Open is a stirring, heartfelt, and sweeping narrative story of how golf's greatest champions found magic on the hallowed fairways of the most celebrated golf course in America, Pinehurst No. 2—the site of the 2024 US Open.    The title comes from New York Times bestselling golf writer James Dodson, who wrote and narrates the story.    While living in the tiny golfing village of Pinehurst, North Carolina, Dodson discovered a phenomenon he calls “The Pinehurst Cure.” It's the place's particular magic to change the lives of people when they need it most, including some of the best golfers in the world, from Payne Stewart to Michelle Wie, Arnold Palmer to Ben Hogan, and Donald Ross and Harvie Ward, who Dodson calls “the greatest golfer most people have never heard of.”   But it's Dodson's personal stories that create a roadmap for this audio journey, with his own Pinehurst Cures leading the way.   Episode 2 will be released on Wednesday, June 19th.   Episode 3 will be released on Wednesday, June 26th.   

On this episode of The Hank Haney Podcast, Hank shares his favorite Ben Hogan stories.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme open the show with a preview of the PGA Tour's seventh signature event of the season, the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, before passing it off to Smylie's conversation with Jackson Koivun. Jackson joins the show on the heels of winning Auburn's first men's golf national title, and along with the Fred Haskins, Ben Hogan, and Phil Mickelson awards that he won for his play as a freshman, just received the Jack Nicklaus Award, which comes with an exemption into the Memorial Tournament. SK and CH close the show by making their one-and-done picks for the Memorial.

The 1955 U.S. Open Golf Championship was supposed to be the crowning achievement to one of the greatest careers in the history of sports. Golf enthusiasts and sports fans all thought the U.S. Open, staged at San Francisco's Olympic Club, was a virtual lock for Ben Hogan to win. In fact, Hogan almost proved everyone to be right. The Hawk calculated what he needed to shoot to win on this "terror" of a course. And, he wasn't that far off. Hogan found himself 5-strokes back after the first round having shot a 2-over 72. He then started working his way up the leaderboard by shooting a 3-over 73 in round 2, a 2-over 72 in round 3 and an even-par 70 in the final round, five strokes better then all but one other golfer. No one ever considered journeyman Jack Fleck to contend. But, he too worked a little magic that weekend. After a first round 76, Fleck fired a 1-under 69 in the second round, followed that with a 5-over 75 in the third round and then he masterfully conquered the course by shooting a 3-under 67 in the final round and found himself in a tie with Hogan. The two would face each other in an 18-hole playoff the next day. Fleck was a huge fan of Hogan. In fact, he was the first to carry Ben Hogan golf clubs in his bag. He was would follow Hogan around the course to see how Ben played. He even wore the same type of hat, sweater and slacks as Ben. Fleck had never won an official TOUR event. And now he was going to face his idol over the course of 18 holes for a date with infamy. Incredibly, he did it. He outlasted Hogan in the playoff to win the 1955 U.S. Open and enter his name into golf lore. On this episode of Sports' Forgotten Heroes, Neil Sagebiel who wrote the book "The Longest Shot," joins the podcast to talk about the career of Jack Fleck and that one magical weekend in June of 1955 when Davey took down Goliath.
