Die Amerikaner Wyndham Clark het sy tweede Amerikaanse Ope-titel opgeraap met ʼn een-hou-oorwinning oor sy landgenoot, Sam Burns, by Shinnecock Hills in New York. Die 2023-kampioen het op vier-onder 73 klaargemaak. Tom Kim van Suid-Korea is derde met een-onder.

Drawing inspiration from LPGA legend Nancy Lopez, Dr. Bob shares powerful mental game strategies for maintaining a positive attitude, managing frustration, and enjoying the game regardless of your score.

David knows that his enemies are secretly plotting against him, and so he asks God to preserve his life. These enemies set an ambush for David by their words, thinking that no one can see them. Yet, the LORD sees and springs His own ambush against these enemies that brings them to ruin by their own plots. When the nations see the LORD's actions, they fear Him and tell what He has done, even as His own people rejoice and take refuge in Him.  Rev. Dr. Adam Koontz, pastor at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Oakmont, PA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalm 64.  To learn more about Redeemer Lutheran, visit redeemer-oakmont.org. Join Sharper Iron this spring to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer.

Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners.

Bledge and Sam sit down with Dan Davies of RNGC fame to discuss the sacred acre and Dan's journey through the golf journalism world. Dan is also a member of the cradle of English Golf, which is discussed towards the end of the podcast. A man who has spent 10 months of more building a golf course to host a special one day invitational event for his friends and loved ones. Despite being a mere 510 yards in total, this 9 hole course makes up for its lack of distance with terrifyingly difficult and intricate green complexes, and waist high ‘bund' is only ever inches away. Sleeper style hazard placements on the 2nd hole an ode to Oakmont, and the 7th hole - ‘Bell' is an inverse replica of the 12th hole at Augusta - RNGC is proof that golf doesn't have to big or grand. Cookie Jar Golf made a superb Youtube Film on RNGC a couple of years ago - You can watch here - https://youtu.be/8q1kXRoLsgw Send us a message if you would like anything discussed on the podcast.

This edition of Next on the Tee feels like a homecoming… as I'm joined by two longtime friends of the show and proud Pittsburgh natives who've each been with me since the very beginning. First up is Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor Eric Johnson. Eric has been a mainstay on that prestigious list for well over a decade, and his journey has taken him from 17 years at Oakmont…to Nemacolin…Yellowstone Club…and now to his new role as Director of Instruction at the legendary Baltusrol Golf Club. Eric shares what it's been like stepping onto those historic grounds, reflects on last year's U.S. Open at Oakmont, weighs in on Tiger's latest challenges, and even gives us his picks for The Masters. Along the way, we share some laughs and pay tribute to a few special people who've helped shape his journey. Then I'm joined by one of the game's true grinders, Bob Friend Jr. Bob reflects on the work ethic that defined his career, what it was like being one of only a few players to ever qualify for the U.S. Open on his home course, Oakmont, in 1994, which was also Arnold Palmer's final appearance. You'll hear about what it was like to be on the course that day, the challenge of putting on greens during a recent tournament when they were rolling at an unbelievable 18 on the stimp, plus a great Jack Nicklaus story and a simple tip that can help all of us play better right away. It's a fun, story-filled episode packed with insights, memories, and practical golf advice you can take straight to the course. #golfpodcast #golf #golftips #golfinstruction #golfadvice #golfcoach #golftraining #improveyourgolf #golfswing #shortgame #putting #golflife #golfaddict #golfstagram #golfing #pgatour #championstour #usopen #themasters #oakmont #oakmontcountryclub #baltusrol #ericjohnson #bobfriendjr #arnoldpalmer #jacknicklaus #golflessons #golfstories #golflegends #sportspodcast #podcast #podcastlife #golfcontent #nextonthetee #golfcommunity #amateurgolf #playbettergolf #golftournament #golfinterview

Just as Abraham seems to be cruising toward a peaceful end of his life, the LORD tests Abraham by telling him to sacrifice his only son Isaac. Abraham acts according to the LORD's Word in the faith that the LORD will keep His promise, even if that means raising Isaac from the dead. The LORD stops Abraham from sacrificing Isaac, and the LORD provides the sacrifice Himself, foreshadowing the gift of His only Son, Jesus, as the sacrifice in place of all sinners.  Rev. Dr. Adam Koontz, pastor at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Oakmont, PA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Genesis 22:1-18.  To learn more about Redeemer Lutheran, visit redeemer-oakmont.org. “In the Beginning” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies Genesis. The first book of Moses sets the stage for God's entire story of salvation. As we learn the beginning of the story, God prepares us to receive the fulfillment of the story: Jesus Christ, the Offspring of the woman who has crushed our enemy's head.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Ed sits down with Tom Wallace of Kopplin, Kuebler & Wallace to unpack why governance often breaks down during leadership transitions at private clubs. Drawing from his experience facilitating hundreds of board retreats, Tom shares a clear benchmark: only about 25% of clubs have governance truly dialed in. The conversation explores stewardship versus short-term decision-making, the importance of structure over personality, and how written systems, succession planning, and member communication protect a club's mission, vision, and values. It's a grounded, practical discussion on how strong governance is built intentionally and sustained over time. Key Moments: Why only a quarter of clubs are truly prepared Tom explains how clubs tend to fall into three groups: those with governance fully structured, those actively working toward it, and those stuck in a cycle of dysfunction where each new president resets priorities. Stewardship over "leaving a mark" The conversation highlights how strong presidents think like stewards, focused on long-term health rather than personal projects or visible wins during their term. A leadership lesson from Arnold Palmer Tom shares a story from his time at Oakmont that shaped his philosophy on leadership: clubs existed long before any one leader and will continue long after, making long-term thinking essential. When governance goes wrong, it shows up physically An example of a clubhouse filled with rooms named after past presidents illustrates what happens when guardrails are missing and decisions are made in isolation. The intersection of member culture and staff culture Tom explains that the strongest clubs are built where member culture and team culture align, and why governance plays a critical role in keeping those cultures connected. Early warning signs of governance drift Ignoring data, lacking a strategic plan, or focusing on short-term issues are all indicators that governance may be quietly eroding before problems surface publicly. Why structure protects everyone From strategic business plans to board policy manuals and orientations, Tom outlines the written systems that stabilize clubs through leadership transitions. "If it's not written down, it doesn't exist" A Ritz-Carlton principle reinforces why documentation and clarity are essential, not bureaucratic, in complex organizations like private clubs. Governance as guardrails, not handcuffs Tom compares good governance to bumper bowling: it doesn't guarantee perfect outcomes, but it prevents leaders from sending the club off course. How to spot a strategic board What boards talk about matters. Strategy, capital planning, and long-term direction signal health; operational minutiae signal trouble. Succession planning as a leadership responsibility Strong clubs know who their future presidents are well before transitions happen, creating continuity rather than disruption. Committees as the leadership pipeline Tom explains why committees should serve as the proving ground for future board members, with performance and collaboration guiding recruitment. Younger members and the owner mindset The episode explores how clubs must intentionally teach stewardship and volunteer expectations during member onboarding to avoid transactional relationships. Why board retreats accelerate alignment Tom closes by sharing how retreats create self-awareness, clarity, and a realistic multi-year roadmap, reinforcing that good governance is a process, not a one-time fix.

In this New Year episode of Golf & Politics, Matt Parker and Rob Ellsworth sit down to map out what a great golf year actually looks like — from realistic travel planning to chasing bucket-list courses without turning golf into a job. The conversation covers how to plan golf trips around work, family, and seasons, why over-planning can ruin the joy of the game, and how some of the world's greatest courses fit into a long-term strategy rather than a rushed checklist. Rob shares insight from playing hundreds of courses worldwide, while Matt breaks down how election years, travel, and club commitments shape his golf calendar. From Oklahoma and Midwest gems, to Ireland, Scotland, Australia, and iconic venues like Augusta National, Oakmont, and St. Andrews, this episode is about playing great golf intentionally — not just playing more golf. The episode closes with a deep dive into bucket-list courses, golf architecture, and how both hosts balance demanding careers while still finding time to play at the highest level. ⸻

The final Smylie Show of 2025 is here — and there's a LOT to unpack. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down the biggest golf storylines of the year, starting with the shocking news that Brooks Koepka is leaving LIV Golf, what that means for the league, and how it impacts players like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm moving forward. We dive into: What Brooks' exit really means Whether Bryson could eventually leave LIV How the PGA Tour might handle players returning The future of LIV Golf as a product And the ripple effects across professional golf Then, we close out the year with a fun 2025 Year-in-Review game, debating the biggest moments in golf — from Rory McIlroy's grand slam, to the Internet Invitational, to some hilarious TGL bloopers involving Tiger Woods. A mix of serious golf analysis, hot takes, and classic Smylie–Charlie banter to close out the year.

The guest on this episode of The Back of the Range is Matt Vogt, a dentist and accomplished mid-amateur golfer who earned one of the most memorable stories in 2025: qualifying for and competing in the U.S. Open at Oakmont. The conversation covers Vogt’s journey from a modest upbringing in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, to his college golf days at Butler University, and his later-life resurgence into competitive amateur golf. He recounts his U.S. Open Qualifying experience, the emotional significance of his late father during that run, and the whirlwind aftermath of suddenly finding himself part of golf’s biggest stage. Vogt offers candid reflections on balancing a demanding professional career in dentistry with elite-level amateur competition, sharing how he relies on supportive colleagues and flexible scheduling to make it work. He opens up about nerves, lessons learned, and the surreal experience of teeing off at Oakmont in front of thousands—a moment where adrenaline met disbelief. The discussion also touches on broader themes in amateur golf: the evolution of college recruiting, the rising standard of competition, the mid-amateur “fraternity,” and the ongoing debate about reinstated former professionals competing in mid-am events. The conversation ends lightheartedly, with banter about future tournaments like the Gasparilla Invitational and the Jones Cup, showing Vogt’s grounded personality and enthusiasm for competing with his peers.

With Christmas right around the corner, we reflect on the best golf courses we played this year, our favorite trips and memories, and what made this season special. We break down our top golf courses of 2025, first-time plays, favorite holes, and unforgettable trips to places like Pine Valley, Oakmont, Shinnecock, Bandon Dunes, England, and beyond. We also discuss the Golf & Politics Cup, the competitive moments that mattered, and how the event continues to grow heading into 2026. To close things out, we share goals for next year, lessons learned, and a few thoughts on what's ahead — all in the spirit of Christmas, reflection, and gratitude. Thanks for listening all year. Merry Christmas, and we look forward to seeing you in 2026. ⸻

Summary Book a Free Talent Strategy Call In this episode, Tyler sits down with Ryan Karapas of QualiPro to unpack the launch of QP2U, a new virtual education platform designed to democratize access to high-level agronomic, leadership, and industry-wide insights. From the tournament-tested culture at Oakmont to the evolving expectations of today's assistants and superintendents, Tyler and Ryan explore why mentorship, exposure, and real-world learning are becoming non-negotiables for the next generation of turf leaders.

The culture and operational excellence behind Oakmont's U.S. Open preparation. A behind-the-scenes reflection on leadership, clarity, and the power of intentional team culture at one of the most iconic clubs in golf.

St. Paul does not leave his instruction for Christian life as vague theologizing. Rather, he instructs Christians on how to follow the Word of Christ in their closest relationships with each other. As Christians are given to live together as wives and husbands, as children and parents, and as workers and masters, we do so in Christ, that is, with the perspective that Christ has given us through His justifying grace.  Rev. Dr. Adam Koontz, pastor at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Oakmont, PA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Colossians 3:18-4:1.  To learn more about Redeemer Lutheran, visit redeemer-oakmont.org.  “Letters from Prison” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. Even when Paul was imprisoned for the sake of Christ, the Word of God remained unbound. The apostle's letters from prison still fill us with the same joy that his chains could never silence. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
