On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett opens up the show with Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy, who is back after being out this week getting over a cold.  Jim details his trip to Pullman where he went to celebrate Parents weekend with his kids.  Jim went golfing with one of his son's girlfriend's father and ended up tipping over their golf cart. Jim recaps the hilarity that followed.  They briefly touch in on the M's, but mainly focus on the Masters and the near collapse in the first round from Rory McILroy and their hope that he can keep it going over the weekend.  Jim and Puck also talk about a new golf course being considered in Westport, Washington called Westport Golf Links, which is being designed by David McLay Kidd, who built Bandon Dunes and Gamble Sands.   Jim departs from the show because he's still under the weather and Puck welcomes Chris Egan from KING 5 to the show for his weekly visit.  Egan is back after spending last week in Arizona for spring break.  Egan and Puck talk about why it's so hard for this state to get no brainer ideas done like the golf course in Westport, adding sports like lacrosse, flag football and pickleball to be officially recognized by the WIAA in our state.   Egan also details his trip to Arizona and how he and other parents watching their kids play in a junior college baseball game lose it with some bad umpiring.  Puck details his mishap with his little league team and how both he and Egan need to learn from their mistakes in dealing with umpires.  Chris also details finally taking his shirt off in the pool, his love for In-and-Out Burger, renting an airbnb, High Noons and why doesn't he live in the sun!    Puck also welcomes “The Scout”, his Friday weekly chat with an anonymous MLB scout who has been covering the sport for 30+ years.  They talk about the top players he has ever scouted in Washington, plus, this year's crop of high school talent has four very good players with all four having a great chance to be drafted very high.  They get into the current state of the Mariners and all their injuries, specifically to Ryan Bliss and Victor Robles.  What impact will their losses have on the team?  “The Scout” details whether or not there is help down in Tacoma with Cole Young, Ben Williamson and Tyler Locklear.  Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck!?”  Another college football horror story. (3:03) Puck and Jim (38:07) Chris Egan, KING 5 (1:09:06) “The Scout” (1:39:24) “Hey, What the Puck!?”  

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is riding solo as Jim Moore is out on this Monday because he called in sick after spending all weekend in Pullman for Moms Weekend. Are we buying this?  Puck opens up the show taking about the Mariners 3-7 start and he discusses the comments from Julio who says the team should not be panicking and that they are in a good spot.    Puck also discusses the Victor Robles catch and injury, plus, the injury situation with Jorge Polanco and the M's offense can't sustain these injuries and their style of play over 162 games.  It's Masters week and Puck announces the Puck the Picker Majors Pool with the grand prize being a night stay and two rounds of golf at Gamble Sands. Puck also promotes the debut of the Groz with Gas Take 5 podcast which comes out later this afternoon on Pucksports.com.    Puck then welcomes Matt “Stretch” Johnson and Steve Sandmeyer for episode three of The Sports Pit.  The boys cover another Victor Robles, Sandy back golfing, Sandy being fired as a bat boy, 90's Mariners team, the Kingdome, Edgar's bat, Lou Pinella and who do we have for The Masters.  Lastly, “Hey, What the Puck!?”  I miss the Kingdome. (1:00) Puck (33:38) The Sports Pit (1:40:13) “Hey, What the Puck!?”  

On Friday's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy from the side of the road in desolate eastern Oregon as Jim is on his way to see his kids in Pullman for Dad's Weekend.   Puck and Jim try to cram in as much as they can before Jim's internet will finally give out!    Jim is bothered that Emerson Hancock was sent down to the minors for Luis F. Castillo and he's bothered that the Mariners PR department has come up with a bunch of unique factoids with both Castillo's pitching back to back.  The Masters begins next week and Puck and Jim chat about the Puck the Picker Majors Pool that is Puck's season long golf pool that includes the grand prize for a night stay and two rounds of golf at Gamble Sands!   Puck claims he can beat Jim in Horse and they have wagered $100 bet when Puck comes down to Bend for Memorial Day.   No Friday show would be complete if it didn't include Friday Voicemails. On this weeks edition we hear from Spicolli from fast Times at Ridgemont High and his thoughts on the Mariners and  Geno Smith from Las Vegas.   After Jim's internet finally dies out, Puck announces a new podcast produced by PuckSports.com and it involves two Seattle sports radio legends, Groz and Gas.  The new podcast, Groz with Gas Take 5 will be released every Monday at noon on all platforms including YouTube, Apple and Spotify and you can find their full catalog of shows at PuckSports.com.   Puck also has his weekly interview with The Scout, an anonymous MLB scout with 30+ years in the game.  They talk about the M's struggles offensively, Emerson Hancock, JP/Garver hitting issues, torpedo bats and is Julio truly a superstar?   Lastly, “Hey, What the Puck!?”  What is Ja Morant doing? Does he not get it?(2:26) Puck and Jim (37:35) Friday Voicemails (46:38) Groz with Gas Take 5 Promo (53:28) The Scout, current MLB scout (1:18:03) “Hey, What the Puck!?”  

Monday's Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett features the Go-2-Guy Jim Moore.  Puck and Jim react to the first weekend of Mariners baseball.  Both Puck and Jim are not all that upset with the start because it's what they expected the offense to be.  Jim is still having technical issues in trying to figure how to watch the Mariners on his TV.   Jim asks Puck if he thinks Julio will turn into the super star that everyone thinks he will. Is it fair to ask?   Puck introduces Puck the Picker Majors Pool with the grand prize being a trip to Gamble Sands golf course.   After Jim leaves, it's The Sports Pit podcast with Puck and KJR alums Steve Sandmeyer and Matt “Stretch” Johnson.  Puck plays an edited 20 minute version of the hour-plus show that comes out every Monday.  They touch on the opening series with the Mariners and A's and Sandy was surprised about the lack of energy inside the stadium.   Lastly, “What the Puck?!” Don't panic yet, but the four games are a microcosm of the last four years of Mariners baseball.

By far one of our favorite things that we do on this podcast is randomly selecting a Top 100 public golf course in the United States and planning a group trip to go play that course. We do this twice a year or every six months and randomly pick from the Golf Digest Top 100 Best Public Courses List. It doesn't matter how expensive or how far, we have to go based on what random number is selected. In the first half of 2022, we picked #38 Gamble Sands in Washington and in the second half of 2022, we landed on #8 Bethpage Black in New York.

You've heard of Bandon Dunes. And you've heard the story of how young David McLay-Kidd made Mike Keiser's dream a reality on the Oregon Coast. But have you heard who inspired him, and why? Learn the role his father played, and how the thread of ancient links courses runs through challenging designs like Tetherow, and the big bunch of fun at Gamble Sands.

Asking a golf course designer to pick his favorite is like asking a winemaker to choose a preferred varietal. It's not about the course itself, but the people and the experience- both physical & emotional, over a period of years as raw land is transformed and a vision becomes reality. For David McLay Kidd, it's not Bandon, Gamble Sands, Nanea, or his other masterpieces. It's a course that not only changed the landscape, but also reshaped the community and impacted the people around it.
