Golf courses have never looked better. Fairways are striped, greens are smooth, bunkers are freshly raked and golfers have come to expect consistent conditions almost everywhere they play. But are golf courses too easy? On Episode 10 of Splitting Fairways, Hawk and Jeremy debate whether modern golf courses do enough to punish bad shots and, more importantly, where that punishment should actually come from.

The PGA Tour season is coming to a close with the Tour Championship at East Lake this weekend, and it is time to ask a very important question. Who should be the 2026 PGA Tour Player of the Year? There are several golfers who could be considered, but it really boils down to two players. Who should win it? That's the topic of the latest Fairways & Dreams podcast with host Jeff Hartman.

Club Champion founders Nick Sherburne and Brad Syslo are back for another episode of Fits with the Founders, talking golf, gear, fitting and a little football.Nick and Brad break down the FedEx Cup Playoffs, what's happening with LIV Golf, and the start of football season, including their fantasy football draft must-haves.Then it's time to talk equipment. They share some of the most important things every golfer should know before going into a club fitting, what to expect from the fitting process, and why the right setup goes far beyond simply choosing a clubhead and shaft.Plus, high-lofted fairway woods are making a comeback — and they may fit far more golfers than you think. Nick and Brad explain why 7-woods, 9-woods and other higher-lofted fairway woods are finding their way into more bags and how they can help golfers launch it higher, improve consistency and attack the course differently.In this episode: FedEx Cup Playoffs • LIV Golf • Fantasy Football • Club Fitting Tips • Golf Equipment • Fairway Woods • 7-Woods & 9-Woods • Club ChampionBetter fit.

Few topics get golfers fired up quite like loft jacking. Iron lofts have become stronger over the years, leading to plenty of comments about a modern 7-iron really being a 6-iron. But is looking at the number on the bottom of the club really that simple? In Episode 9 of Splitting Fairways, Hawk and Jeremy tackle the loft-jacking debate and why stronger lofts aren’t necessarily good or bad. Why Have Iron Lofts Become Stronger? Modern iron construction has changed dramatically. Hollow-body designs, thinner faces, lower centers of gravity, and improved materials have allowed manufacturers to create irons that produce more ball speed while still launching the ball high enough to be playable. For Hawk, that combination of added distance and forgiveness can be a major benefit. If a stronger-lofted 7-iron launches high, carries farther, and still has enough stopping power to hold a green, does it really matter what loft is stamped on the spec sheet? Jeremy looks at things a little differently. As a golfer who already generates plenty of speed, chasing additional distance with an iron can create more problems than it solves. Spin, peak height, distance control, descent angle, and proper gapping throughout the set may be far more important than simply hitting a 7-iron farther. Does Loft Jacking Really Matter? Of course, stronger lofts can create other issues. The race to build the longest 7-iron can lead to larger gaps at the bottom of the bag and the need for additional wedges. At the same time, many of these distance-focused irons also provide forgiveness that can make the game easier for a wide range of golfers. Maybe the loft-jacking debate doesn’t need a winner. Instead of worrying about whether your 7-iron has the loft of an old 6-iron, the better question might be whether it produces the launch, spin, height, forgiveness, consistency, and distance your game actually needs. The loft-jacking debate is officially over. Well, at least until the comments open.

Golf has plenty of official rules, but somehow, golfers have invented an entirely separate rulebook of things you're just supposed to know. In Episode 08 of Splitting Fairways, Hawk and Tox take on Golf's Dumbest Unwritten Rules and try to figure out where legitimate etiquette ends and pointless golf judgment begins. Hats indoors. Untucked shirts. Denim. Changing your shoes in the parking lot. Too many headcovers. 14-way bags. And, of course, the undisputed heavyweight champion of unnecessary golf arguments: iron covers. If none of these things affect another golfer's round, why does anyone care? Ryan (Hawk) and Jeremy (Lord Tox) debate which traditions still have a place in the game, and which ones golfers need to stop taking so seriously. Then they head to the course to tackle the unwritten rules that might actually matter. Should honors on the tee give way to ready golf? Is talking to someone else's ball harmless encouragement or an unforgivable offense? Can you call a putt before it drops? And do you really need to gently place the flagstick on the green? Not every unwritten rule deserves to disappear. Repairing pitch marks, raking bunkers, keeping pace, respecting another player's concentration, and taking care of the course all make golf better for everyone. Maybe that's the real test, the best etiquette usually makes golf better for somebody other than you. If you could erase one unwritten rule from golf tomorrow, which one goes?

Golfers often say modern equipment is maxed out. New drivers aren't really longer, annual releases are mostly marketing, and the gains are too small to matter. Then many of those same golfers argue that equipment has become too powerful at the professional level. That contradiction drives the newest episode of Splitting Fairways. Episode 7 asks whether golf equipment has actually peaked, or whether improvement has simply moved into areas that aren't obvious on one perfect strike. Both Ryan and Jeremy agree that modern equipment is still improving. The disagreement is more about how golfers define “better.” Maximum distance is only part of the picture. Modern drivers are increasingly designed to preserve ball speed, launch, spin and direction when impact moves away from center. Two drivers may perform similarly on a perfect strike and very differently across the golfer's normal pattern. The episode also looks at fitting. Today's driver families offer multiple heads, adjustable hosels, movable weights and different center-of-gravity locations. For golfers using poorly fit equipment, gains of 10 yards or more are still very real.

Every golfer has heard the phrase, “That’s good.” It usually comes after a short putt stops just shy of the hole, and before anyone has a chance to tap it in. For most recreational golfers, it’s simply part of the game. But should it be? That question is at the heart of Episode 6 of Splitting Fairways, the THP podcast where Ryan “Hawk” and Jeremy “Lord Tox” tackle the conversations golfers have every day. This week, the discussion centers on one of golf’s oldest unwritten rules: the gimme. Ryan argues that conceded putts are a practical necessity, helping keep rounds moving and making recreational golf more enjoyable. Jeremy counters that golf has only one finish line, the bottom of the cup, and every conceded putt turns an actual score into an educated guess. Along the way, the conversation explores where gimmes came from, why every group seems to have its own definition of “inside the leather,” and whether routinely accepting short putts quietly inflates handicaps over time. We also examine why golfers who never seem to miss a two-footer during a casual round suddenly insist on putting everything out when money, trophies, or bragging rights are on the line. Gimmes undoubtedly help pace of play, but they also raise an uncomfortable question: if a handicap is meant to reflect what you actually shoot, should posted scores include putts that were never made? After listening, we want to hear from you. What’s the longest putt that can honestly be called a gimme?

What defines a round of golf? For generations, the answer has been simple: 18 holes. It’s the standard golfers have measured themselves against for more than 250 years. But should it always be? In Episode 5 of Splitting Fairways, Hawk and Lord Tox tackle one of the biggest debates to emerge from the THP community this year after a social media post about a proposed 12-hole golf course sparked nearly half a million views and hundreds of passionate comments. The discussion quickly became about much more than hole count. Does golf need to evolve to fit modern lifestyles? Is time now the biggest barrier keeping people from playing? Or is the traditional 18-hole round still the only format that truly delivers the complete golf experience? Along the way, they dive into the surprising history of why 18 holes became the standard in the first place, read some of the best community comments from the original discussion, and explore whether this debate is really about golf courses or simply about making more time for the game we all love. Whether you’re firmly in the “18 holes or nothing” camp or think golf could benefit from more flexibility, this episode is guaranteed to make you think.

If you’ve played golf long enough, you’ve probably heard both sides of this argument. Low handicaps hate giving strokes. Higher handicaps get tired of hearing them complain. So who’s right? That question serves as the foundation for this week’s episode of Splitting Fairways, the THP podcast where Ryan “Hawk” and Jeremy “Lord Tox” take on the conversations golfers are already having every day. Rather than deciding who’s right, the show explores both sides of golf’s most divisive topics. This week, the focus shifts to one of the oldest debates in the game: the handicap system. Along the way, the discussion explores scoring variance, sandbaggers, vanity handicaps, and why golfers on opposite ends of the handicap spectrum both seem convinced the system favors the other guy.

Professional golf is an emotional game. Even the best players lose their tempers. Clubs get slammed. Equipment gets thrown. Frustration boils over. What happens next often depends on who did it. That question serves as the foundation for this week’s episode of Splitting Fairways, the THP podcast where Ryan “Hawk” and Jeremy “Lord Tox” tackle the debates golfers are already having every day. Rather than deciding who’s right, the show explores both sides of golf’s most divisive topics. This week, the conversation centers on one simple question: Are professional golfers judged by their actions, or by their reputation? Using recent examples involving Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Sergio Garcia, Joaquin Niemann and Tiger Woods, Hawk argues that certain stars receive far more grace from fans and the media than others. Tox counters that reputation is earned and context should influence how we view these moments. Along the way, the discussion explores media narratives, fan perception and whether the same incident would generate a very different reaction if another player’s name were attached to it.

Golfers agree on very few things. Equipment preferences vary wildly. Opinions on course conditions can change from one group to the next. Even something as simple as golf fashion can create spirited debate. Pace of play, though? Surely we can find some common ground there. Nearly every golfer agrees that slow play is a problem, but we have seen the disagreement begin when we ask how much it should impact the experience. That question serves as the foundation for Episode 2 of Splitting Fairways, the THP podcast where Ryan “Hawk” and Jeremy “Lord Tox” explore the conversations golfers are already having every day. Rather than trying to determine who is right and who is wrong, the show examines both sides of golf’s most divisive topics and the perspectives that shape them. This week, the discussion shifts from golf fashion to one of the most common complaints in the game. Are golfers too obsessed with pace of play? The topic originated from a discussion on the THP Forum that challenged a common assumption. The original post wasn’t defending slow play. Instead, it questioned whether golfers sometimes allow pace of play to affect their enjoyment of the game more than it should. Predictably, the responses were divided. One side argued that pace matters because golf is a shared experience. Slow groups impact everyone behind them, disrupt rhythm, and demonstrate a lack of awareness for other players on the course. The opposing view suggested that golfers have become conditioned to treat every delay as a crisis. Waiting occasionally is not the same thing as slow play, and in an era of increased participation and crowded tee sheets, some delays are simply part of the experience. As the episode unfolds, the conversation moves well beyond pace of play itself. Topics such as golf’s continued growth, public versus private course expectations, respect for fellow golfers, and modern expectations of convenience all become part of the discussion. Along the way, several memorable comments from THP Forum members help illustrate just how passionate golfers can become when discussing pace. Whether you believe slow play is one of the game’s biggest issues or think golfers sometimes allow it to overshadow an otherwise enjoyable round, Episode 2 explores both perspectives. After listening, we want to hear from you. Is slow play ruining golf, or are golfers letting it ruin golf? Let us know where you stand in the comments below.
