Andy is off in Scotland and calls in after a late night at the pub to join Brendan for this Monday morning recording. After some unplanned promo for Fried Egg Golf Club, this episode starts with a recognition of the world's best player, Joaquin Niemann, following his third win of the year on LIV. The two compare the three wins of Niemann and Rory McIlroy and wonder who the best player of 2025 truly is. From there, the conversation shifts to an extended Champs Tour Minute, as a power outage at the Zurich Classic allowed everyone to get some bonus coverage from Zinger and Papa on Golf Channel. PJ is overjoyed that the greater viewing public now sees his point about Zinger being kept in a studio as opposed to on the road watching Jerry Kelly outlast Ernie Els at TPC Sugarloaf. Andy and Brendan then move to the Chevron, won by Mao Saigo in a five-way playoff, the largest in LPGA history. Brendan points out the egregious backboarding opportunity available on the 18th hole and Andy shares some local reporting from The Woodlands about the lack of advertising for the event. On the PGA Tour, social media sensation Ben Griffin and NFL Draft pundit Andrew Novak teamed up for their first PGA Tour win(s) at the Zurich Classic, beating the Hojgaard twins following some interesting drops on the 72nd hole. This episode quickly runs through some news to wrap things up, including the latest from Michael Block as he looks to qualify for Quail Hollow.

Mark has an observation on Rory's putting which we discuss. An interesting week for Rory, he won The Players, and also pinched a kids mobile phone. Reasonable behaviour or not? Nick and Mark give their view.

Darren spent his Tuesday afternoon (17 December 2024) at Zimbali Lakes playing golf with Ernie Els, and it was nothing short of exceptional. Aside from being surrounded by the legend himself, Darren shocked himself and everyone else with his golfing skills.

Andy is feeling laborious on this Wednesday episode, leading to a wide-ranging discussion about upcoming golf tournaments, a sesame chicken lunch special, and the lack of national attention on the Chicago Bears. Brendan relays some feedback from Scottish listeners about last episode's mispronunciations of "Hamish" before promoting the new Design Disasters account on Instagram (@design__disasters) featuring some incredible golf holes. From there, attention turns to the World Wide Technology Championship. First, Andy and Brendan try to figure out what, exactly, World Wide Technology does, but can't quite find a firm answer. Billy Andrade's sponsor exemption into this event comes up again, and Brendan reveals that his last PGA Tour start was over ten years ago. Cutthroat Corner returns for this week as well, but not for the player you might think! There's some Bubble Boy talk as the FedEx Fall hits the final stretch, leading to a discussion about a PGA Tour win leading to a two-year exemption. It's the first week of DP World Tour Playoffs, as Min Woo Lee and Rory McIlroy are teeing it up at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. Min Woo's appearance in Abu Dhabi leads to a brief TGL segment about the latest "Temple" hole unveiling. Andy anoints the Charles Schwab Cup Championship as the Event of the Week, but his favorite player, Ernie Els, may not be taking the tournament as seriously as he should be. PJ is preparing for his weekend in Phoenix, with more to come from him on Friday's episode. To wrap things up, Andy and Brendan look into some new Sergio Garcia quotes about wanting to play in "two or three" more Ryder Cups before retiring.

Four golfers from Newfoundland's west coast are getting into the swing of things - at the Ernie Els autism international golf tournament. They're taking part on a course in this province, but their scores are compared with those of competitors from other countries. The CBC's Amy Feehan went to the Humber Valley Resort golf course. She spoke with golfer Joseph Tobin and his mother, Jessica Wyatt, as well as golfer Jackson Pink and coach Wayne Allen.
First up, we dive into Sabrina Carpenter's fiery interview on “Hot Ones.” Imagine trying to keep your cool while Sean Evans mercilessly serves you wings hotter than the sun. Sabrina, bless her soul, talked about her hit song “Espresso” while desperately trying not to combust. The hook “That's that me espresso” became an instant meme legend for its... let's say, unique syntax. She defended her lyrical choice by basically saying, “If you don't get the joke, the joke's on you.” Honestly, Sabrina, if you can deliver punchlines while your taste buds are having a meltdown, you're a hero in my book. Plus, she almost sued Sean for the pain – now that's spicy! Next, let's talk about our President Joe Biden's latest verbal gymnastics routine. It's like he's auditioning for a political version of “Who's Line Is It Anyway?” At the NATO summit, he accidentally called Ukrainian President Zelenskiy, “President Putin.” Talk about a plot twist! As if that wasn't enough, he then mixed up Kamala Harris with Donald Trump. “I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump if she wasn't qualified to be president.” Well, Joe, that's one heck of a hypothetical reality show I don't want to see. And for the grand finale, he couldn't quite get “chiefs of staff” right, calling them “commander in chief.” Someone get this man a teleprompter and a nap, stat! Speaking of political theater, Donald Trump threw down the gauntlet for a golf match against Biden. Trump is convinced this will be the most-watched sporting event ever. Honestly, he might be right. I mean, who doesn't want to see two septuagenarians duke it out on the green? Trump sweetened the deal by promising a $1 million check to charity if Biden wins. Now that's some high-stakes mini-golf drama! Ernie Els even confirmed Trump's hole-in-one from 2022. Yes, folks, miracles do happen – especially when Trump's PR team is around. Brian Jack from Georgia also chimed in, praising Trump's golf game and claiming he shot a 70. I'd believe it if we were playing by Trump's rules, which I'm guessing involve a lot of mulligans and “alternative facts.” This week's episode is a rollercoaster of spice, slips, and swings. From Sabrina Carpenter's sizzling serenade to Biden's bloopers and Trump's golfing gauntlet, we've covered all the bases. Tune in to hear our takes, laughs, and possibly some tears (mostly from Sabrina's hot sauce ordeal). That's it for this week's episode of “What Are We Doing.” Stay tuned, stay spicy, and remember – if your espresso sounds weird, just say it's a punchline.

The Champions Tour chat is more of an occasion to react to some interesting Ernie Els comments on technology leading to swing speeds that are not sustainable if you want to stay healthy. They close with a random flashback to the 2000 NFL Draft.

Andy and Brendan are fresh and chipper after watching 13ish hours of golf in the first round of the Open. They begin with some amusements from the day, including their own routines to wake up and dive right into what quickly became an abominable broadcast in the early morning hours. They react to how Royal Liverpool played in the first round, with particular admiration for the internal out-of-bounds and some skepticism for the new 17th hole. They reveal the “actual” leaderboard with some of the names that must be taken seriously, and those who do not have to be. They discuss Brooks, Scottie, and Rory getting into the house relatively unharmed, though Scheffler's putting is cause again for concern. There's some sympathy for JT's finish, but a realistic assessment on whether he should be brought to Rome. Zinger and Faldo are chuckled over for a few minutes before they close with some news on Ernie Els just going off on Jay Monahan and the merger deal to Bob Harig.
Graham talks with Champions Tour golfer Ernie Els. The Hall of Famer reflects on how early successes on the PGA Tour impacted his native South Africa, reveals the honesty of his relationship with Tiger Woods and shares how working with a psychologist improved his golf game.

In this episode, Julia and Kris speak with Dr. Marlene Sotelo and Paige Thomas of the Els for Autism Foundation, whose global mission it is to "transform the lives of people with autism and those who care for them through lifetime services and collaborative partnerships." During the month of April, participating Troon courses are encouraging players to donate their score in order to help the Foundation create a world of limitless possibilities for those with autism spectrum disorder.
Summer School in Scotland rolls on and Andy and Brendan have a few more thoughts on The Open, specifically Rory's performance, after a magical afternoon getting to play The Old Course themselves. Then they get back to the pro golf at hand, namely the 3M Open at TPC Sod Farm, described in one write-up as utilizing “natural, rolling terrain on the site of a former sod farm.” They discuss the Tour's messaging, which is apparently foremost of what they care about, and how the 3M Open actually exhibits weakness to the point it would be best if they just took a few weeks off following The Open. The women's and senior majors are previewed, with critiques for two poor venues. The LIV latest is discussed, with David Feherty making the jump and Ernie Els with some sage advice on how this should all shake out, including specific comments on new Champion Golfer of the Year Cam Smith.
