Bob Ford is one of golf's greatest ambassadors, having served as the head pro at Oakmont for 37 years and at Seminole for 21 years (and serving both clubs concurrently for 17 of those years). Bob's accomplishments as a head pro (with some 50+ assistants having gone on to notable head pro positions at other clubs) and as a player (having played in 10 PGA's and 3 US Open's in addition to winning multiple Pennsylvania Open and Pennsylvania PGA championships) are legendary. We talk with Bob about how he got started in the game, his time as an assistant at Oakmont under Lew Worsham, his becoming the head pro at Oakmont at age 25, making the cut as the host pro at the 1983 US Open, the famous tree removal project at Oakmont which became the model for other clubs across the country, and his time at Seminole and how he and his wife Nancy managed those two jobs with three children. We also get Bob's views on the life of the club pro today, the role of technology in the game, and the state of the game today.

Mason Howell, a high school senior, joins the podcast to talk about his 7-and-6 victory in the U.S. Amateur final at Olympic Club. The future Georgia Bulldog talks practice rounds with Harris English and Tony Finau at the U.S. Open at Oakmont, which he qualified for by shooting 63-63 in his qualifier. Myers and Hennessey also break down Scottie Scheffler's BMW win, the latest Ryder Cup chatter and what we expect at the Tour Championship.

Who were some great singers and actors? Ben Cherington had another baffling quote, this time about Bubba Chandler. Could the Pirates bring back Tommy Pham? Why are we still talking about Triolo and Suwinski? Mullys drops in with a special gift to Joe from Oakmont.

Who were some great singers and actors? Ben Cherington had another baffling quote, this time about Bubba Chandler. Could the Pirates bring back Tommy Pham? Why are we still talking about Triolo and Suwinski? Mullys drops in with a special gift to Joe from Oakmont. Joe runs down the performance of several QBs who the Steelers could've taken - Milton, Dart, Sanders, Milroe, Fields, Joe had a crazy sneeze.

The Steelers backup QBs looked good on Saturday. Will Mason Rudolph become the fan's choice once again? Can Skylar Thompson make the team? Joe references Brady's first year in Tampa has a guideline for Rodgers this year. Is Mason Rudolph the best backup in the NFL? We run down some of the other backup QBs. Are people getting ahead of themselves with Joey Porter Jr? We know what Rudolph is at this point. Bob likes what he saw from Arthur Smith. A caller suggests trading Mason to give Howard valuable reps. Tomlin indicated maybe no Rodgers this preseason. Justin Fields looked good in his preseason game. A caller thinks the Steelers are a legit contender and thinks it's up to Rodgers on if he plays in the preseason. Another caller is optimistic about the corners helping the entire defense. Kaleb Johnson wasn't very impressive. Joe gives his take on Cam Heyward holding in and provides examples of the Steelers treating him well over the years. Fans seem to be against him. The lack of postseason success makes it harder to justify big contracts for Heyward and Watt. Cam could've put this out on his podcast but didn't. This news snuck up on everyone. The Steelers have become pushovers. They didn't acquiesce to Bell less than a decade ago. We still don't know what exactly Cam is asking for. Cam's reputation is taking a hit right now, fairly or unfairly. Would fans be happy if he was traded today? Starkey gets excited about a golf course recommendation. Tomlin didn't get any questions because nobody was there seemingly. A caller says Cam should've signed a 1-year deal only. More callers chime in on Cam, with one saying he deserves to seek what he's worth. Bob seems less bothered by Cam than Joe and most fans. Joe heard from Ron yesterday. Pomp did a call in honor of Donny Football. Donny was very excited. Steelers tidbits: why can't you dunk on the goalposts, Broderick Jones looked good, the hawk eye measurement has arrived. Who were some great singers and actors? Ben Cherington had another baffling quote, this time about Bubba Chandler. Could the Pirates bring back Tommy Pham? Why are we still talking about Triolo and Suwinski? Mullys drops in with a special gift to Joe from Oakmont. Joe runs down the performance of several QBs who the Steelers could've taken - Milton, Dart, Sanders, Milroe, Fields, Joe had a crazy sneeze.

In this special bonus edition of Next on the Tee, I get to share time with two incredible guests who each taught me something game-changing—especially for those of us playing golf after 50. First up is fellow Yinzer and fan-favorite Rocco Mediate. Rocco was recently featured in the inspiring new documentary Steel Links, hosted by former Pirates star Neil Walker and featuring Pittsburgh icons like Charlie Batch and Carole Semple-Thompson. We talk about that project, but we also go deep into Rocco's memories of playing in the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont alongside Mr. Palmer during his final appearance in the championship. Despite needing back surgery, Rocco wasn't going to miss that moment. He shares what it was like inside the ropes with The King and what he said to him on the 18th green that sent Mr. Palmer's emotions over the edge. Rocco also shares his emotions following his recent victory at the Furyk & Friends event, plus he shares a tip he posted on Instagram that gave me 10 more yards and straighter shots—a true key to better golf after 50. Then I'm joined by PGA Tour veteran and elite instructor Larry Rinker. Larry opened my eyes to how much I still have to learn about the golf swing. He walks us through the Wright Balance system and its three swing models, explains what I was getting wrong, and provides clear insight that will help your game. We also reflect on his T12 finish at the 1992 Open at Muirfield, his Masters experience, including playing the Par 3 contest with Gary Player and Gay Brewer, and the pressure of surviving Q-School. He even shares a great tip for holing more downhill putts. It's a jam-packed, fun, and informative episode I know you'll enjoy.

In this episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by two outstanding guests who share more than just a first name, Tom, both bring incredible insight and passion to the game. First up is our resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri, who's been on the road working with his young players across Florida and Michigan. Tom and I dive into the highs and lows of what's happening on the PGA Tour. We celebrate Scottie Scheffler's win at The Open and debate whether his methodical dominance is “boring” or simply brilliant. While Tom sees predictability, I see a player achieving greatness through precision, consistency, and class. We also discuss some disappointing trends—like Wyndham Clark's tantrum at Oakmont and the rise of club-throwing and tee marker destruction. Tom and I both believe the Tour needs to start publicly addressing these actions with transparent fines and suspensions to help clean up the game. Then I welcome back one of the most respected PGA Professionals in the country, Tom Wildenhaus. Wildy is the Director of Golf at Olde Florida Golf Club and a former National PGA Professional of the Year. He's also a terrific writer with a must-follow Substack, where he recently tackled topics like the hidden costs of employee turnover, how to instill club culture in new hires, and the importance of building real relationships with members. We also talk about the fading presence of empathy in society and what that's doing to our communities. On the teaching side, Tom shares valuable tips on structuring a more purposeful practice session. It's a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation you don't want to miss. Come back for Part 2 when Bill Mallon shares some of his favorite player stories including being there when Craig Stadler got the nickname, The Walrus.

Scottie Scheffler is the 2025 Champion Golfer of the Year after securing his fourth major title with a Sunday 68 at Royal Portrush. Andy and Brendan spend the first half of this episode putting Scheffler's run into some historical context following his win, placing him a U.S. Open win away from the career slam at just 29 years old. The two break down his round and the skills he showed throughout the week that enabled him to separate from the rest of the field in Northern Ireland. The back half of this recap touches on basically the rest of the field, as Andy's "Storylines Nobody's Talking About" include Rory McIlroy winning "Low Holywood," a Sunday storm hitting Westy Island, plenty of Wikipedia Top Tens, and Kevin Kisner blaming the UGSA for Wyndham Clark's Oakmont incident. There's also plenty of course takeaways from Royal Portrush, and Brendan ends this week of coverage with a little game from his time on the grounds at the 2025 Open.

Scottie Scheffler cruised to his fourth major title on Sunday at Royal Portrush, in the *exact same* timeframe that it took Tiger Woods to win his first four majors. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss Scottie's ascent to the undisputed best player on the planet, examine statistics framing him as the closest thing we've seen to prime Tiger, and hear quotes from Jordan Spieth and Xander Schauffele about Scottie's mindset and intimidation factor. SK and CH briefly look ahead to wonder ... could Scottie complete his career Grand Slam at Shinnecock Hills in 2026 ... on Father's Day ... which also happens to be his 30th birthday??? The script writes itself! Smylie and Charlie also offer a toast to the 2025 major season, discuss the day that failed to materialize for Rory McIlroy, and Bryson DeChambeau's incredible surge and mental fortitude to play Friday through Sunday at 16-under after shooting 78 on Thursday, while also reading quotes from Wyndham Clark in the wake of recent news about his ban from Oakmont.

Country club drama!

Ferrall talks about the crazy ending to the MLB All-Star Game, NBA Summer League, WNBA, and Wyndham Clark getting banned from Oakmont.

July 16, 2025 Hour 4.  Wyndham Clark banned from Oakmont.  Is a corn dog a hot dog?  Texas complaining about money??  The good, bad & ugly, today was the day when.

Tobin is fired up this Wednesday as the crew dives into last night's MLB All-Star Game and the dramatic swing-off finish. Should Major League Baseball scrap extra innings and adopt swing-offs for the regular season? Leroy brings some golf insight after reports that Wyndham Clark has been banned from Oakmont for damaging his locker following a missed cut at the U.S. Open. Is the punishment too harsh? Plus, the tension between Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft continues to bubble over. Tobin goes on a rant: be happy with six Super Bowls and move on already!

We kick things off with a dramatic finish to the MLB All-Star Game and a swing-off that has us wondering — should baseball lean into this format and ditch extra innings altogether? Leroy weighs in on the golf world's latest controversy after Wyndham Clark was reportedly banned from Oakmont for damaging his locker. Too harsh, or fair punishment? NFL tension brews as Tobin rants about the never-ending drama between Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft. You've got six Super Bowls — move on already! In Hour 2, Dolphins talk takes over. Is this the year Miami finally commits to the run game? Tobin and Leroy debate Mike McDaniel's pressure and expectations. Plus, UFC heat rises as Dustin Poirier's underdog status sparks a fiery back-and-forth. And in today's Mixed Bag: Kel'el Ware and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are poised for big development. Hour 3 brings a wild turn — Tobin goes off on Shams Charania after conflicting reports about Terry Rozier's involvement in the ongoing NBA betting investigation. Then it's time for "Rats Off a Ship" featuring LeBron's loyalty, Nick Cannon's love advice, and a bizarre Stanley Cup x Labubu collab. Finally, in Hour 4, the Panthers' schedule is out and Tobin is not happy with their 5 PM start. Breaking NBA news also drops: Bradley Beal is signing with the Clippers. Could LeBron be next to move... maybe to Miami? We wrap the show with Tobin and Leroy's U.S. Open golf picks.

0:00 - Already, Arch Manning is emerging as a legitimate Heisman contender. Are we overvaluing him because of his name? Can we pump the brakes on the Manning Hype Train just a bit? How often do we raise a player's stock because of their last name?17:16 - Cowherd is bullish on the Broncos. The sky's the limit in Year 2 for Bo Nix. 12 wins? 13 wins? Totally reasonable expectation. Do we agree?33:36 - Wyndham Clark has been banned from Oakmont Country Club for angrily destroying a locker during the U.S. Open last month. He'll be able to return if he pays for the damages, makes a charitable donation to an organization selected by the Oakmont board...and completes anger management counseling. 2 of those seem reasonable. 1 of them doesn't. 

Our first min-pod of Open Championship week which turns out to not be quite so mini. Andrew and Iain meet up on the first tee to have a chat and watch various golfers tee off in their final practice rounds before it all gets underway on Thursday. In the process of which they fail to identify Cameron Adam - Royal Burgess member, former Scottish Amateur champion and St Andrews Links winner. Feeling so ashamed they have decided to dedicate this pod to him. Iain also chats to US Open champion JJ Spaun and Bob McIntyre, who was of course runner-up to Spaun at Oakmont, but is perhaps better known as something of a mentor to Cameron Adam. Go well Cammy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Clark damaged the locker room after missing the cut at last month's US Open

Oakmont Country Club (Plum, Pennsylvania) - Holes 10-13Oakmont Country Club is renowned as one of the most iconic and challenging golf courses in the world. Established in 1903 by Henry C. Fownes, the course was designed to be an "inland links" style layout, emulating the traditional courses of Great Britain.Oakmont is infamous for its incredibly fast and undulating greens, deep and strategically placed bunkers—most notably the formidable "Church Pew" bunkers—and punishing thick rough. Its design demands precision and strategic play, and the course has earned a reputation for rewarding perfect shots and severely punishing mistakes.Throughout its storied history, Oakmont has hosted more U.S. Opens than any other course, with the 2025 U.S. Open marking its tenth time hosting the prestigious championship. It has also been the site of numerous other major championships, including the PGA Championship and U.S. Amateur, cementing its place as a true cathedral of golf.

Wyndham Clark needs to do a few things before he's allow to play at Oakmont again. Joe and Austin react after Clark trashed the locker room following a frustrating round during the U.S. Open.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the John Deere Classic. -Reviewing Detroit -Discussing top 8 favs on odds board -2 matchups -2 t20's -3 outrights (33/1, 80/1, 80/1) -Sleeper, 3 FRP -2 lineups, scoring, best bet Will Doctor opens his podcast with enthusiasm over Aldrich Potgieter's dramatic win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. At just 20 years old, Potgieter emerged victorious in a five-hole playoff against Max Gray Sherman and Chris Kirk. Doctor notes he had picked Potgieter pre-tournament at 125-1 odds, resulting in a monumental gain of 125.8 units that flipped his season from -72.9 to +52.8 units. Potgieter's rounds of 62-70-65-69 highlighted both brilliance and resilience, especially his Saturday bogey-free 65 that earned him a two-shot lead. Despite criticism that most birdies came on the front nine, Doctor praises his short game, particularly ranking fifth in strokes gained around the greens in round three and gaining over a stroke total in that category. Chris Kirk, a six-time PGA Tour winner, had a promising start with back-to-back 65s. Despite dealing with recent game struggles and nearly withdrawing from the U.S. Open, he performed well and missed chances to win with two putts inside 16 feet on 18, in both regulation and the playoff. Max Gray Sherman impressed with birdies on two of his final three holes to make the playoff, including a 35-foot birdie on 16. Though he missed several putts in the playoff, Sherman's calm demeanor and improved ball striking stood out, crediting his caddy Adam Barmer. Doctor sees Sherman as a strong future contender. Doctor critiques Twitter pundits who downplayed Potgieter's Saturday round and emphasizes the significance of the playoff diversity: a 20-year-old, 30-year-old, and 40-year-old competing. He applauds CBS's emotional broadcast moments, such as shots of the players' fathers during the finale. Other notable performances included Will Gordon saving his PGA Tour card, Monday qualifier Brett White making the cut, and rising stars like Michael Thorbjornsen and Jackson Suber getting in the mix. He recaps bets: Potgieter's win was the headline; Champ and Sherman top-20 picks also cashed. Picks that failed included Stephen Jaeger, who struggled with his worst driving week in 25 starts, and Lee Hodges, who fell from contention with a poor third round. As he pivots to the John Deere Classic, Doctor emphasizes traits needed at TPC Deer Run—bombers off the tee, sharp wedge play inside 125 yards, and strong putting on bentgrass. He notes the course has the ninth-widest fairways on Tour, making driving accuracy less critical but not to be ignored. He analyzes top players: passes on Ben Griffin due to fatigue, but likes Jason Day for a top-10 finish citing strong approach stats from 125-150 yards. He dismisses Denny McCarthy at 28-1 due to recurring poor third rounds, weak approach metrics, and no PGA wins. JT Poston is faded for weak iron stats despite being a past Deere champion. Si Woo Kim is heavily criticized—missed cuts, poor putting, and negative recent stats. Doctor proposes betting Jason Day over Si Woo Kim and two other Kim fade matchups. Doctor's top pick is Michael Thorbjornsen at 33-1, citing elite driving (2nd on tour), strong recent finishes, and solid putting. Thriston Lawrence is his second outright at 80-1, noting improved ball striking and three top finishes in recent events, including T12 at Oakmont. Cam Champ, also at 80-1, rounds out the outrights. Champ has been positive in all stat categories the last two weeks and historically played well at Deer Run. Other bets include Jackson Koivun over Quade Cummins, Jason Day top 10 (+225), Champ top 20 (+320), and Thorbjornsen top 20 (+137) as the best bet. Doctor offers three first-round top-10 picks: Thorbjornsen, Pearson Cootie, and Champ. He concludes with two DFS lineups and predicts the winning score at -23.

This is an episode full of Friday whimsy, covering the Chicago Cubs, Wyndham Clark's antics, Sheriff Scottie's department expanding, and more. Andy and Brendan run through an "apology" from Wyndham in the aftermath of destroying a locker at Oakmont and how he turned this moment into a plea for a spot on the Ryder Cup team. The two also discuss Scottie Scheffler's comments from Wednesday's press conference at the Travelers regarding what he considers a "fair test" on the PGA Tour. Speaking of the Travelers, Jordan Speith withdrew with a new injury and Adam Schefter took over Thursday's broadcast with some insane PGA-NFL comparisons. Leaderboard updates are provided for the Women's PGA Championship and Champs Tour at Firestone, where PJ's pick of Thomas Bjorn is fighting for dead last. To wrap up this episode, Brendan chats with Viktor Hovland about Brian Rolapp, Jay Monahan, Oakmont, and his favorite fruit.
