Podcasts about fairways

We start by looking at three unresolved issues: the tradeoff between housing affordability and protecting existing homeowners, potential ethical concerns around choosing whichever credit-scoring model helps a borrower qualify, and the challenge of protecting AI from foreign attempts to exploit or “steal” it. Robbie interviews Fairway Independent Mortgage's Steve Jacobsen on the evolving nature of mortgage lending, product expansion, leadership and more. And the bond selloff continues despite weakening economic data, with long-term yields surging amid inflation, federal borrowing, issuance, hedging, and positioning pressures, leaving the market dependent on materially weaker PCE or payrolls data to break the bearish momentum.This week's podcasts are presented by Gateless, intelligent automation that gives you the competitive edge. Gateless solutions reduce costs, deliver a superior borrower experience, and mitigate risk by automating tasks and decisions historically made by people. Welcome to The Chrisman Commentary, your go-to daily mortgage news podcast, where industry insights meet expert analysis. Hosted by Robbie Chrisman, this podcast delivers the latest updates on mortgage rates, capital markets, and the forces shaping the housing finance landscape. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just looking to stay informed, you'll get clear, concise breakdowns of market trends and economic shifts that impact the mortgage world.

For more than four years, LIV Golf disrupted professional golf in a way few could have imagined. Billions of dollars were spent, some of the biggest names in the game left the PGA Tour, and the sport became increasingly divided between two competing sides. Now, LIV Golf has entered Chapter 11 restructuring, and that brings us to a question that isn't quite as simple as it sounds. Did LIV Golf actually win? In this episode of Splitting Fairways, Ryan and Jeremy look beyond the bankruptcy headlines to debate what LIV actually accomplished and what its impact could mean for professional golf long after the original version of the league is gone. Did LIV Change the PGA Tour? From a business standpoint, LIV's original model clearly ran into problems. But judging its success strictly by whether the league became sustainable may miss part of the story. The PGA Tour that exists today looks different from the one LIV challenged in 2022. Bigger purses, Signature Events and the Player Equity Program all became part of the landscape during the battle between the two sides. Would those changes have happened without LIV? That's where the debate gets interesting. LIV may have failed as a league while succeeding as a disruptor. What About the Players? Then there are the golfers who left. For years, the easy criticism was that LIV players simply “took the money.” Chapter 11 complicates that argument, with LIV seeking the ability to reject existing player contracts and some contractual obligations still outstanding. Jon Rahm may be the most fascinating example. He left the PGA Tour in his prime and proceeded to win three consecutive LIV season-long individual championships. Yet, how many golf fans could name those accomplishments? That raises a much bigger question about legacy. What might Rahm's career look like had those same three seasons played out on the PGA Tour? Bryson DeChambeau presents almost the opposite case. A U.S. Open victory, strong major performances and his enormous growth as a golf personality arguably strengthened his overall legacy. Who Won the Golf War? Should Rahm, DeChambeau and other LIV stars eventually be welcomed back to the PGA Tour? Should there be consequences for leaving? And when their careers are over, how much will LIV accomplishments matter? Maybe LIV changed professional golf. Maybe the PGA Tour survived. Maybe some players won financially. But after years of fractured fields and division throughout the sport, did golf fans actually win?

Donald Trump touches down in Doonbeg this weekend for the Irish Open at his own golf course, and we're asking whether Ireland should protest or play along. We unpack the extraordinary Irish-American relationship: 40 daily flights to the US, $1.3 trillion in American investment, 300,000 jobs, and a bond built more on kitchen tables than diplomacy. We're joined by Donal Casey, former CEO of Rory McIlroy Inc., to talk golf's economics, why LIV Golf failed despite Saudi billions, and how the fairway - not the barricades, might be Ireland's smartest move with America's most unpredictable president.

Former PGA Tour pro David Canipe, The Confidence Doctor Dr. Bob Winters, and original Golf Channel creative force Michael J. Whelan join me for an episode filled with great stories, mental-game advice, and a trip through golf history. We start with David Canipe, a three-year letterman at the University of Georgia who helped the Bulldogs win the 1972 SEC Championship before beginning a professional career that epitomized what it meant to be a grinder. David takes us back to the old Space Coast Tour, where he estimates he won 25 times, and shares what it took to make it through PGA Tour Q-School three different times. We also hear about playing alongside Bill Kratzert at Georgia, the incredible field he faced at his first Q-School in 1976, and some of the biggest moments of his PGA Tour career—including becoming the early leader at the 1984 U.S. Open, finishing T4 at the 1988 Las Vegas Invitational, making the cut at Jack Nicklaus' Memorial Tournament, and taking the 54-hole lead into Sunday at the 1989 Southern Open. Then, The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters, returns with a mental-game lesson every golfer needs to hear: stop playing holes that haven't happened yet. We've all done it. Three holes to go and suddenly we're calculating what we need to shoot to break a milestone score, win the tournament, or finally beat our buddies. Dr. Bob explains why getting ahead of ourselves can derail a great round, how to stay present when the pressure builds, and even shares a simple rubber-band trick that can help bring your mind back to the shot in front of you. Finally, Michael J. Whelan returns to take us inside his fascinating new book, The Fairways of Wisdom. Mike was the guy behind everything when The Golf Channel launched in the mid-1990s, creating its original programming and assembling the talent both in front of and behind the cameras. His remarkable television career also includes HBO, CBS, and NBC. In The Fairways of Wisdom, Mike combines that lifetime of storytelling with his love of golf, playing 9 holes with 9 legends and exploring the lessons and wisdom they might share. Three terrific guests. PGA Tour stories from a true grinder. A mental-game lesson you can use during your very next round. And a creative journey alongside some of golf's greatest legends. It's all here on Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better. Thank you for pressing play and taking the journey with us.

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?

We're back and checking in on the summer of golf.Gumby, Keith, and Matt catch up after a short break to talk about their games, summer golf, golf fashion, and the current state of professional golf.Why has this year's major season felt a little flat?

The PGA Tour has wrapped up its regular season and now heads to the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The playoffs where there are limited fields which get smaller by the week leading up to East Lake for the PGA Championship. In theory it sounds great, but there are ways the PGA Tour can make the playoffs better.

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. Watch Episode 5 of Splitting Fairways and let us know where you stand in the debate.
