On this episode, we sit down with Philip Turturro, the creator of Gator National, a one-of-a-kind four-hole golf course he built in his own backyard outside of San Antonio, Texas. What started as an ambitious idea has grown into one of golf's most creative passion projects, capturing the imagination of golfers around the country.Philip shares the story behind designing and constructing Gator National, the challenges of bringing the course to life, and why creating a place to gather with friends has always been more important than chasing perfection. Along the way, we dive into architecture, course design, social media, and the simple joy of building something that reflects your love for the game.https://www.instagram.com/gatornational/https://gatornational.teecommerce.shop/pages/storefronts/GTRNTL BestBall Links:⛳️ Join the BestBall Golf Club! - https://patreon.com/BestBallGolfClubhttps://BestBall.comhttps://linktr.ee/BestBallhttps://bestball.substack.com - Subscribe to Par 3 Thursdays!Friends of BestBall:B.

Gator is not watching the Home Run Derby.

In Dumb Ass News, Chaz and AJ talked about the 71-year-old man who was flipped into the air by a bison at Yellowstone, and the whole ordeal was caught on birthday. (0:00) Today's "On the Board" celebrated Ruth's birthday, with the Tribe calling in the worst possible things that could happen on your day of celebration. (6:50)  A Florida man was interviewed by his local news, after successfully fighting off an alligator attack. He was grabbed on the leg, dragged into the water, and won the fight by sticking his thumb in the gator's eye. (12:37) Chaz and his wife, Jennifer were in Lake George last week for a beautiful summer wedding. Jennifer was not with Chaz for the fireworks show, since she was tending to a woman on the ground. (17:27) A man in Australia is recognized as the loudest person, after his voice hit 122 decibels. Chaz and AJ gave everyone a shot to break that record, and it seems AJ was actually able to do it!

Doug and Gator react to Tarik Skubal's comment about how the Tigers should approach the trade deadline. The team is surging, but is it too late for them to make a legitimate run at a World Series title, and should they be willing to sacrifice cost-controlled young players to make one last run with an ace pitcher who could depart via free agency in the offseason? Plus, there's growing frustration with the Red Wings, discussion about how the Pistons should handle Jalen Duren and the rest of their offseason, and more!

Doug and Gator kick off Wednesday's show with some banter about the dramatic Argentina-Egypt World Cup match before transitioning to a recap of the Tigers' win vs. the A's which was fuel by a savvy pinch-hit decision by AJ Hinch and a dropped pop-up. The convo shifts to some interesting remarks by ace lefty Tarik Skubal.

Doug and Gator debate Tarik Skubal's push for the Tigers to buy at the trade deadline and weigh whether a late-season playoff run is even realistic. The guys also field caller questions regarding the Pistons' remaining cap space and Jalen Duren trade rumors, while touching on the mounting fan frustration surrounding the Detroit Red Wings.

Doug and Gator react to the Tigers parting ways with third base coach Joey Cora before diving back into the fierce debate over whether to buy or sell Tarik Skubal at the trade deadline. The guys also navigate the latest rumors surrounding the Pistons' remaining cap space and Dylan Larkin's ongoing standoff with the Red Wings front office. Finally, the segment wraps up with breaking news on former Tiger Justin Verlander's surprise selection to the AL All-Star roster as a special legend pick.

The latest twist in the Graham Platner controversy as Democrats scramble to replace their embattled Senate candidate. They also take aim at Senator Jon Ossoff over his campaign record, discuss teen violence sweeping major cities, and react to shocking alligator and shark attack stories. Plus, Kimmer reveals the show's secret contest word, shares "This Day in History," and mixes in plenty of laughs before Holy Crap It's Sports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... The Resource Problem Most Nonprofits Mistake for a Funding Problem Ask any nonprofit leader what their organization needs most, and you will hear the same answer almost every time. More money. We need more funding. We need to hire. The whole nonprofit resource problem, in their telling, comes down to a number that is too small. I have worked with hundreds of organizations, and I have stopped taking that answer at face value. Not because leaders are wrong about feeling stretched. They are absolutely stretched. But when you peel back the layers, the constraint is rarely the money itself. It is the system nobody built. The process nobody owns. The skill gap nobody named. The tool the team already has and does not use. When those things are missing, leaders do the most natural thing in the world. They compensate with effort. And then they reach for funding to buy their way out of a problem that money was never going to solve. I've been thinking about this lately I recently had a conversation about exactly this with Andrea Ortega, the founder of Palante Nonprofits, and it sharpened how I think about what actually holds organizations back. Not because the idea was new to me, but because she named the mechanism so cleanly. When an organization says it needs more funds, what it usually needs is to look underneath that statement and find out what is really going on. The funding answer is a symptom, not a diagnosis Here is what happens inside most organizations. A program is overwhelmed. The work is piling up. Someone says we need to hire. To hire, we need more money. So the leader goes looking for grants. But hiring is a solution to a specific problem, and that problem is usually not the one in front of you. The pile of work might exist because the process has no owner. It might exist because a system that should take thirty seconds is taking five hours by hand. It might exist because two people are doing the same task and neither knows it. Throw money at that and you get a bigger version of the same mess. You have simply hired someone to keep doing the thing the system should be doing. The clearest example I see is fundraising itself. An organization comes to me and says we have a fundraising problem. We do not bring in enough money. So I ask one question. Who is in charge of fundraising? And often the answer is no one. Nobody owns it. There is no fundraising system, no plan, no person accountable for making sure the money comes in. That is the core of the funding problem, and no grant is going to fix it. When systems are unclear, people compensate with effort This is the pattern underneath almost every "we need more money" conversation. When the system is clear, people follow it and the work flows. When the system is unclear, people fill the gap with their own time, energy, and heroics. That works for a while. It is also the fastest route to burnout, because the organization is running on individual effort instead of designed structure. The more unclear the system, the harder everyone has to work just to stay in place. Leaders read that exhaustion as a sign they need more hands. Sometimes they do. More often they need the work to be designed so it does not eat people alive in the first place. The reframe is simple to say and harder to live. Before you hire, look at your systems. Before you buy, look at your processes. Before you assume you need more, find out what you already have and whether it is working. You already own more capacity than you think One of the most useful things Andrea named is how much capacity organizations already have sitting unused. Most nonprofits qualify for free or deeply discounted versions of Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Inside those tools are project management features, internal sites, shared calendars, document collaboration, and automation that organizations pay other vendors hundreds of dollars a month to replicate. The tool is already there. The license is already paid. What is missing is the knowledge of how to use it and the discipline to actually adopt it. This is where the real cost of a tool hides. The sticker price is the smallest part. The expensive part is the time and energy it takes your team to adopt it. A platform that costs three hundred dollars a month and makes everyone's life harder is not a deal. A free tool nobody learns to use is not a deal either. The return on a tool is not in buying it. It is in adopting it well. One line from that conversation has stayed with me: "We tend to fix a lot of problems with people. And then it's always, we need more funds because we need to hire. But if you peel back the layers, it's your systems, it's your process, it's a skill gap with the people you currently have." What I appreciate about this framing is that it explains the mechanism. The funding request is real, but it is pointing at the wrong target. When you trace the overwhelm back to its source, you almost always land on a design problem, and design is something you can fix without waiting for a single new dollar to arrive. Adoption is the real work, not the purchase Here is the part most organizations skip. Buying the tool feels like progress. Adopting the tool is the actual work, and it takes far longer than anyone budgets for. Real adoption can take months. It means deciding the tool is essential for every person who touches it. It means training, and training again. It means watching where people get stuck and smoothing those spots. It means building the onboarding so the next hire learns the system instead of inventing their own workaround. Without that, you spend the money, see no return, and conclude the tool does not work. The tool was fine. The adoption never happened. This is why the smart move with anything new is to pilot it. Pick one thing. Roll it out to a small group. Watch how people respond. See where the friction is. Offer the support that gets them over it. Once it clicks for one team, you have proof, and proof beats convincing every time. Then you can take on something harder. Build the plumbing before you scale the bill The thread running through all of this is sequencing. Organizations reach for the expensive, visible solution before they have built the quiet infrastructure that makes it work. They buy the platform before they have the process. They hire before they have the system. They chase the grant before anyone owns the function the grant is supposed to fund. Build the plumbing first. Get the process clear. Make sure someone owns it. Use what you already have, fully, before you assume you need more. Then, when you do add money or tools or people, you are adding them to a structure that can actually hold them. What this makes possible When a leader sees this clearly, the panic around money settles. The question stops being how do we get more and becomes what do we already have that we are not using well. That is a question an organization can answer this week, without a single new dollar. The work does not get smaller. It gets lighter, because effort stops leaking out of unclear systems and starts flowing through designed ones. People stop compensating with heroics. The organization stops running on exhaustion. And the money conversation, when it comes, lands on a foundation strong enough to make the money matter. The bottom line This is not about doing less. It is about doing work that compounds. Nonprofits can have enough. They can use what they already own. They can grow without buying their way out of every problem. Not by chasing more before the foundation is built, but by making what they have work first.
