Six-time PGA Tour winner Hunter Mahan joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme to talk about his unexpected return to golf. Mahan opens up on why he stepped away from competing in 2021 — burnout, the grind of travel, and an envy that "took over" and wasn't good for his soul — and what's pulled him back into playing after several years coaching high school golf at Liberty Christian in Argyle, Texas, alongside football coach Jason Witten. A few months of posting practice-round videos to social media turned into a full comeback arc, complete with a new equipment deal through Grant Horvat's Primo.Plus: Hunter breaks down the swing videos he's been posting — his takeaway feel, getting the clubface more shut, and clearing up the Justin Rose "shallowing" myth — and walks through his short game reboot under Stan Utley (of Parker McLachlin's Short Game Chef), including the shaft-angle and forearm-rotation keys that turned his chipping around. The guys also get into a wide-ranging Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup conversation: why Team Europe consistently looks looser under pressure, Mahan's own Presidents Cup debut alongside Justin Leonard and Paul Azinger, the case for a real U.S. national team pipeline, and a frank look back at the U.S. team's collapse at Bethpage in 2025.Before they let him go: Hunter's top tips for teaching your kids golf, and a very serious debate over which foursome wins — the Golf Boys or the 2016 Spring Breakers.Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and follow us on socials @thesmylieshow!Chapters0:00 Intro & why the beard came off1:41 Why Hunter Mahan stepped away from the tour — and what's pulling him back3:03 Coaching high school golf with Jason Witten at Liberty Christian7:42 The burnout and envy that pushed him away from competing9:56 What went wrong with his swing after 201515:11 Breaking down Hunter's Instagram swing videos 21:53 Inside his short-game reboot with Stan Utley27:16 Who spins it best around the greens on tour? 29:33 Utley's keys: shaft angle, forearm rotation, hitting it high vs. low33:09 The "level eyes" fix and driving through the chip40:33 Ryder Cup vs. Presidents Cup — why Team Europe has the edge49:44 Mahan's Presidents Cup debut: Justin Leonard & Paul Azinger52:42 Building a real U.S. national team pipeline56:18 Bethpage 2025 post-mortem: "everyone's got a plan till they get hit in the mouth"59:06 Hunter's top tips for teaching kids golf1:02:32 Hypothetical: Golf Boys vs. the 2016 Spring Breakers1:06:03 Sign-off#golf #huntermahan #pgatour #smyliekaufman #smylieshow #golfpodcast #golfhighlights

Yes, the Sweat Swing begins this week at TPC Initech, but the FedEx St. Jude does NOT receive Andy's Event of the Week honors! He bestows the title upon this week's U.S. Amateur at Merion, breaking down the early action with Brendan to kick off this Wednesday episode. Brendan is excited to hopefully take in some of the tournament in-person this week but wonders how, in the age of streaming everything, there's been no broadcast coverage of the stroke play rounds so far. The two run through some big names that won't be making it to match play and set up what should be a great weekend of golf at one of America's most iconic championship venues. There is a beefy (or sweaty?) preview of the FedEx St. Jude, complete with an updated weather forecast for Memphis, Tennessee! Andy's 5 Guys to Monitor This Week highlights a surprise appearance from one of the Tour's biggest stars, two Bubble Boys looking to make the Top 50, and one of the best dressed players in the field. The Schedule for the Week continues with the return of the DP World Tour and Michael Block's return stateside for this weekend's Boeing Classic on the Champions Tour. In perhaps the biggest news of the week, Brendan is tasked with explaining himself after getting ratioed on Twitter for just stating that Michael Kim has more followers than Rory McIlroy, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and even the New York Yankees(!) on the platform. We will return Friday with some more Bubble Boy discourse and whatever else presents itself in the next 48 hours of golf.

Scott Riley, Aron Price, and Matt Every kick things off with visor talk, memorabilia, and a few classic golf-nerd tangents before turning to bigger-picture golf topics. The episode centers on New Zealand golf, PGA Tour playoff format ideas, and a long conversation about aging stars, young talent, and what makes a tour event feel meaningful.We discuss how to make PGA TOUR tournaments feel more dramatic, why some events should reward winners more aggressively, and which players still look dangerous well into their 40s. The crew also gets into WNBA chaos, music nostalgia, sports cards, and the kind of side conversations that make this show feel like a clubhouse hang.Key topicsIn this episode, the guys open with visor obsession, including a Phil Mickelson Bearing Point visor, a Brad Faxon visor, and a joke about opening a memorabilia shop.Aron Price shares old tournament stories from Australia, including caddying as a kid, meeting Brett Ogle and Robert Allenby, and bringing a 1995 Faxon visor back into the mix.The conversation turns to New Zealand golf, with Scott Riley pitching a stronger push around events like the New Zealand PGA and New Zealand Open.Matt Every and Aron Price talk through the geography and vibe of New Zealand courses, including Queenstown, Christchurch, Wellington, Paraparaumu, and Auckland.The crew floats a marketing idea for pro ams in New Zealand, suggesting local celebrities and athletes could add more value than a standard setup.The PGA Tour playoffs and Wyndham Championship are a major topic, with Scott pushing for a more dramatic “if you win, you're in” structure.Matt offers a full alternative postseason concept where tournament winners auto-qualify for the Tour Championship and the remaining spots go to the best non-winners.The guys debate whether the PGA Tour needs more emphasis on winning, more stakes late in the season, and fewer playoff events.They break down Michael Brennan's win and why his swing, composure, and pace stood out coming down the stretch.The conversation widens to older players still producing on tour, with Alex Noren, Gary Woodland, Eric Cole, and others used as examples of longevity and consistency.Brooks Koepka gets a strong vote of confidence, with the group noting that his ball striking is still elite even if the putting has been off.The second half turns into a sports card and memorabilia segment, including a rare dual autograph card featuring KJ Choi and another Korean golfer, plus a story about Russ Stevens as a rare Donruss Rated Rookie who never reached the majors.Travis Hunter, Bo Bichette, and Jags talk appear as the guys swap between current sports and card-market speculation.The show closes with more New Zealand open chatter, pro am nostalgia, and the crew joking about how they always play better in team events.If you like living forever, and you like golf, then you're going to LOVE Live Forever Golf.Enter discount code "LFG20" for 20% off your next order at LiveForeverGolf.comStraight Down the Middle'ish is brought to you by Live Forever Golf.

For the first time in SGS history, the Staysure Legends Tour leads the show! Three-plus years after he burst onto the scene with - according to one Golf Journalist - a "super enjoyable and insightful" walk-and-talk at Oak Hill, Michael Block has done it again. Andy and Brendan are giddy to discuss the latest in Blockiemania, a DISQUALIFICATION from the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship in Scotland. As first reported by Ryan French of Monday Q Info, Blockie walked off the course on the 12th hole of Sunday's round after he had already been penalized for showing up late to his tee time. Brendan is in disbelief that Michael Block is still making headlines in August of 2026 and Andy isn't buying Blockie's Instagram Story explanation for walking off the course. Eventually they move on to the Wyndham Championship, where Michael Brennan finally made good on all of the hype after his win at Black Desert last fall. Brennan shared an emotional moment with his mother on the 18th green following his win at Sedgefield and practically turned this PGA Tour event into a Masters ad that could be used for years to come. Andy and Brendan take a look at the Top 70 of the FedEx Cup rankings as we move into the Sweat Swing, with Jackson Koivun making the cut on the number after an up-and-down Sunday round. At LIV New York, Joaquin Niemann extended his all-time lead in LIV victories, Jon Rahm secured another season-long championship, and Bryson got caught rambling about the "global game of golf" at a press conference. A brief bit of news rounds out this Monday episode, as both Andy and Brendan are stunned by a surprise entrant into the FedEx St. Jude as the all-important playoffs begin!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Leesburg native Michael Brennan won the final PGA Tour event before the playoffs, the Nationals put themselves back in the playoff conversation, and more weekend news for the Junkies to recap.
What if the secret to better golf is not another swing theory, launch-monitor number or technical rabbit hole—but learning how to truly play the game? Mark Immelman sits down with 3x PGA TOUR winner, NCAA National Champion, Texas State Golf Hall of Famer and respected golf broadcaster Billy Ray Brown for an honest conversation about the lessons Billy Ray wishes he had understood earlier in his career. His biggest realization? You do not have to be perfect to play great golf. Billy Ray explains why golf is a game of recovery, how an uncomfortable Christmas Day practice session transformed his short game and why players must learn to solve problems without immediately turning to a coach or a collection of data. Mark and Billy Ray also explore the importance of grip, setup, ball position, clubface awareness and active hands. They discuss Scottie Scheffler, Adam Scott, Dustin Johnson, Jackson Suber, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer and the Harmon family while examining how great players build swings that perform under pressure. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why chasing perfection can keep golfers from playing their best. How Billy Ray transformed his short game in only a few months. Why golf should be viewed as a game of recovery. The difference between productive practice and simply filling time. Why golfers should practice the shots that make them uncomfortable How feel and technique work together. Why self-discovery builds adaptable, resilient players How technology and data can help—and when they become distractions. Why grip, stance, alignment and ball position still matter. How clubface awareness allows great golfers to save imperfect swings. Why different grips require different body motions and matchups. How course conditions should influence the swing and shot, and Why the ultimate goal is to play golf rather than chase a perfect-looking motion. Key Takeaways: You Do Not Have to Be Perfect - Great golf is not produced by hitting every shot perfectly. Every player will miss greens, struggle with portions of the game and face situations that require creativity. The best players accept that reality and become skilled at recovering. Build a Short Game That Travels - Billy Ray recalls entering college as an excellent tee-to-green player who was not good enough around the greens. After his coach contacted his father, Billy Ray spent a cold Christmas Day working alone on his chipping. That experience began a transformation that helped him earn a place in the University of Houston lineup and win an NCAA championship later that spring. Practice What Makes You Uncomfortable - Golfers naturally gravitate toward clubs and shots they already hit well. Productive practice requires the opposite approach. Work on the awkward lies, partial wedges, flighted irons, recovery shots and uncomfortable situations that will eventually appear on the course. Learn to Figure It Out - Players who always turn to someone else after a poor shot can become dependent on external feedback. Billy Ray believes golfers must spend time experimenting, observing the ball and learning what their own motions feel like. That self-awareness gives players the ability to make adjustments during competition. Fundamentals Provide the Foundation Modern technology offers valuable information, but Billy Ray continually returns to the same fundamentals: Grip Stance Alignment Ball position, Distance from the ball, Clubface control, A consistent setup gives the swing a better opportunity to organize itself naturally. The Ball Does Not Lie - Launch monitors can provide useful measurements, but the flight of the golf ball remains the clearest form of feedback. Golfers should learn to recognize why the ball curved, launched too high, spun too much or started offline. Play the Shot the Course Requires - Firm ground, wind, changing green speeds and difficult lies require adaptation. A golfer's motion should respond to the shot and environment—not remain locked into one predetermined swing model. Play Golf, Not Golf Swing - The objective is simple: get the ball into the hole in the fewest possible strokes. Technique matters, but only when it helps the golfer accomplish that goal. Memorable Quotes: “You do not have to be perfect in this game.” “The most complex thing about learning to play the game is keeping it simple.” “The ball doesn't lie.” “You have to go to the most uncomfortable situations and put yourself in there.” “Play the game, not swing the golf club.” This podcast is also available as a vodcast on YouTube - search and subscribe to Mark Immelman and leave a comment.
