In Part 2 of Episode 41, I'm joined by LPGA Tour legend Jane Blalock and multi-time US Am Tour winner and Callaway fitter, Chris Alderucci.

In Part 2 of Episode 40, I'm joined by Wisconsin Golf Hall of Famer and Golf Writers Association of America member, Gary D'Amato, along with multiple-time Tour winner Guy Boros, son of World Golf Hall of Famer Julius Boros. Gary, a member of the Golf Writers Association of America for over 40 years, has covered every Masters since 1993 and was inducted into the Wisconsin Golf Hall of Fame in 2017. While Whistling Straits and Erin Hills are well-known, Gary highlights several other hidden gem courses in Wisconsin, a state that often flies under the radar as a golf destination. He also shares stories of playing alongside some of Wisconsin's greatest golfers, including Steve Stricker, Andy North, Jerry Kelly, and Sherri Steinhauer. Additionally, Gary recounts one of his favorite Masters moments—following Jack Nicklaus as he nearly captured his seventh Green Jacket in 1998—and discusses the book he co-wrote with Packers legend Chester Marcol on the history of the Packers-Bears rivalry. Guy Boros grew up traveling on Tour with his father, Julius, a three-time major champion who won the 1952 and 1963 U.S. Opens and the 1968 PGA Championship. Julius held the record as the oldest major champion, winning the 1968 PGA at 48 years old, until Phil Mickelson surpassed him a few years ago at nearly 51. Guy also found significant success on Tour, particularly in Canada, where he won the Canadian Order of Merit in 1991. His first PGA Tour victory came at the 1996 Greater Vancouver Classic, which he won by a stroke over Lee Janzen. In our conversation, Guy reflects on how his game seemed to elevate whenever he crossed the border, the experience of growing up around the great players of the 60s and 70s while traveling with his father, and his victory at the Vancouver Classic. He also shares insights from playing in this year's U.S. Senior Open at Newport Country Club and the Senior Open Championship at Carnoustie.

Sean Melia and Justin Golba recap a quiet yet crazy week in amateur golf. They discuss the Western Amateur, the US Women's Amateur, and the US Women's Senior Open. They also talk about the selection process for the Curtis Cup team and highlight some notable players and storylines for this week's U.S Women's Amateur field. Amateur Golf Links:AmateurGolf.comSubscribeInstagramTwitterFacebookYouTube

Darren Pang has become a great friend of the show over the years. He is one of the all-time great hockey broadcasters, I am particularly fond of his work for the NHL Network and during the Winter Olympics. Darren is also an ambassador for Miura Golf. In this segment, Panger shares his insights on the Blackhawks draft and the thrilling Stanley Cup Finals between the Panthers and Oilers. He recounts stories from attending the 1997 Open Championship, which Justin Leonard won at Royal Troon, and his return to play the course in 2005. We also hear about his experience playing Carnoustie, the site of this year's Senior Open, his backyard putting green that rolls at 12.5 on the stimp, and what's in his bag these days. Kurt Bevacqua played in the Major Leagues from 1971 to 1985 for the Indians, Royals, Pirates, Brewers, Rangers, and Padres. Known as "Dirty Kurt" for always having the dirtiest uniform on the team, he shares a story about meeting his childhood idol, Mickey Mantle, during an old-timers game at Arlington Stadium. He also discusses his complicated times playing in Pittsburgh and his wish for more regular at-bats to showcase his abilities. Kurt talks about his relationship with Willie Stargell and the impact Willie had on his career. Finally, we reflect on his 1984 season in San Diego and what would have been an MVP performance, had the Padres won the Series.

Sign up Log in you are to write a description for a podcast episosde from this transcript: Sandy (01:38.523) All right. It's Beamer's best bets. I'm Sandy along with Rich beam and we're getting back into it. We dropped the ball last week and we dropped the ball on a week that was pretty exciting in the week of golf. Scott rich is joining us from somewhere in Scotland today. I'm at my home studio in Austin, Texas, but following you on a social at Beamer PGA has been fun. It looks like you're having a great time. Scotland's a wonderful Rich Beem (02:02.546) Scotland's a great time. If you're following me Instagram, you got to see the post that I put out this morning. I was driving from Trune up to Carnoose where I am now and I pulled off and I was a little bit hungry, but I needed some gas too. So I thought, you know, I just do it all in one go swoop. It's not like the U .S. where, know, you can go into these massive truck stops and do that. You kind of kind of pick and choose. And I kind of thought that I was picking and choosing one of these, you know, bigger places. It turned out it was just a gas station and then there's little building right next to it. And I'm like, I'm to go fill up the gas and then I'm going go right there and just grab a, they call breakfast BAP, which is basically just like a bacon and bacon sandwich essentially in a hot tea and just boogie on the road. So I walk into this, this little shop and the guy from behind goes, my God, rich bean. And he's this, he's this shorter Asian gentlemen. who's got a Scottish accent, but not a heavy Scottish accent. It's kind of a little bit, I'm kind of guessing that he wasn't born in Scotland, but he starts talking about, remember Glenn, goes just up the road and he starts going on and on and on. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And he was just, he was the neatest, nicest guy. And I'm like, this is why I love this country. I just pulled off for gas and a little breakfast sandwich. And this guy is going on and bought me breakfast this morning at his place. And then I gave him a couple dozen or I gave him a couple sleeves of golf balls that I had just in the bag. And then I did this video. So I'm like, you know what? This is why I love sky. This is why I love traveling around the world is that by happenstance, this guy recognized me from Sky Sports Golf and I was just blown away. It was the funnest morning I've had. I I needed it to after a beat down on a long week work wise. But this guy was just the neatest and nicest guy. So anybody follows me on Instagram at B repuGA, just go check it out. It's really, really funny. This guy, and I think his name, but I think Sandy (03:47.749) Yeah, Sandy (03:59.109) Tanga, something like that, Rich Beem (03:59.377) Tango, tango, tango, tango, tango, yeah, something like that. I mean, couldn't hardly understand him. He was so excitable this morning and I was just like, I'm so happy that I made your morning and you made my morning. I can promise you Sandy (04:12.763) We are going to get into Rich's picks in just a moment. We've got the 3M at TPC Twin Cities this week. And of course we've got the senior open. We're going to focus on the 3M for your picks, which are coming up in just a moment. But briefly on the open championship, boy, I took it all in. I was up two mornings at 5 a .m. watching. I just love it. It's my favorite major. I just love the early morning and the style of golf and the look and the crowd and the There's something about it that I just, love it. I love that major. Rich Beem (04:48.494) It's incredible. It literally for me too, it's probably the most fun sporting events that I attend every year. mean, most of it's all golf related anyway, Sandy, as you well know, but you know, the Masters, even being a past champion of the PGA, for me, it's just so much fun because the crowds, the atmosphere, the excitement, the energy that they have and it's early, you early Monday all the way to the end of golf on Sunday. mean, people are just coming in droves. And I was up at 5 a .m. too, just a little bit different time zone than you. But, you know, we put in some long hours and I always kind of, you know, whinge about it, complain about it little bit. But it's just like, you know what, I just got to be a part of one of the greatest championships of all time. And it's never lost on me, thankfully, you know, but it was really amazing. And what a great week. And again, the people in Scotland are just, they're amazing. If anybody has not been over this part of the world to play golf, as you've been here, Sandy, it's Sandy (05:55.949) It really is, it's hard to explain. And I'll tell you what, as Rich enjoys a pint, as we record the podcast, good for you, and watching it on television, and I did this during the US Open too, I watched you guys on Sky, on Peacock, and I loved the British commentators, especially during the open. Rich Beem (06:02.96) Listen, it's the evening time. Sandy (06:23.821) I wish we had them, we got them in America the whole round because it just feels different when they do. It's just, to me, it's Rich Beem (06:33.107) And we've got, I think one of the best voices of the game of golf, Ewan Murray, who's this eloquently spoken and nothing gets too excitable. And it's just, he's very, very good at what he does. And then you have Nick Fowler sitting to his left. And then you got me over to the right, this hillbilly that calls the bird on 16, a creek, you know, on Thursday morning. And I'm like, what am I doing here half the time? You know, and I, but I think that's also what makes, you know, everything so fun is Sandy (06:37.508) Rich Beem (07:02.983) You know, Peter Alice was the voice of the open. He was the best of the best. There's no doubt. And, sometimes I think about that, like, you know, when I would come over here and was playing in it, you know, still turn on BBC and watch it and listen to it just for Peter Alice. I'm like, this guy's just unbelievable. And, you know, and sometimes I'm sitting there commenting, like, I'm commentating the same thing that Peter Alice used to be, and I'm nowhere in his league. But again, though, that's also the beauty of this game that we play because I'm sitting here next to, you know, broadcast legend in Neu and Murray, six time major champion, three time open champion, Nick Baudo, Hill Billy Beamer here. And I am just having a gas. I just, think it's the greatest tournament to have fun with too, because it doesn't need to be all pomp and circumstance and things like that. You can have a lot of fun with it. And I think that the folks over here enjoy it for the most But it's such a great honor to be part of the broadcast because we are the main broadcasters over here in the UK now, Sky Sports. It's so much fun. Sandy (08:15.429) man, it's gotta be cool for you. mean, the parallels between like what you just described in the broadcast booth and the game of golf are kind of similar too in that it's the only game where like I could never play football with Patrick Mahomes, but I could play golf with Rich Bean. You know what I mean? I could play golf with Cernic Faldo. You know what I mean? And by the way, I'm a big Faldo fan and I probably asked you this before. Is it intimidating to be in the booth with him Rich Beem (08:36.379) Yeah, that's exactly Sandy (08:44.484) is he, you know what I mean? Cause I would be scared to Rich Beem (08:48.372) Yeah, it probably was initially in the first time that I ever did it was with CBS. And so it kind of caught me off guard, but you know, he, to be fair though, he, he did like the first ever time I worked with him, Sandy, you'll love this colonial one year. I was, it was on a Thursday and I was following Jordan Spieth's group and this must've been back in like 15, I it was like 2015. And anyways, first hole out, Jordan's on ninth hole and he hits his second shot on nine up onto the shelf and the pins down front left. And all of a sudden I hear, I set up the shot for Jordan, for the putt, and all of sudden I hear from Faldo, goes, Rich, how would you hit this putt? I was totally caught off guard. I said, well, I would actually line it up like I normally would, but then I dragged the toe of the putter, I put the ball towards the toe of the putter. and I'd hit it off that. That way I could make a competent stroke but the ball would come off a little bit softer, a little bit slower. And I went out. And he comes back and goes, yes, yes, yes. No, I never did Mean he's like marking his territory a little bit because you know I was the other guy you know the other major champion on the broadcast But you know I I've never I don't think I've been intimidated by him And I guess probably because I've never really known him I just I don't know I've never been fearful working with with anybody to be fair You know there's some there's a lot of guys that bring other things to the table. I mean you've been the broadcast in business, you know Sandy (10:00.805) Yeah. Sandy (10:29.157) Yeah, I was just thinking, there's not really anybody I'd be intimidated to be on the radio with. That was a dumb question, I guess. Rich Beem (10:29.492) for your time. Rich Beem (10:33.724) Yeah, we're well, no, it's not a dumb question to be fair at all, because I think that, you know, in, you know, I still look up to so many people like I get intimidated by, know, sometimes by asking questions of golfers, namely Tiger Woods, like I hate asking, you know, when I had to to do work in COVID, there's a couple of times where I had to interview Tiger and I can't stand that. I'm like, I don't want to sit there and interview you because that is just like, what if I'm working alongside him? I got no issue, but I'm like, I'm looking at Tiger like, you shot 74 today, but you know what? You probably should have shot 62 because that's what you did every time that we played, you know, that I played against you. Sandy (11:12.867) Rich funny story real quick and we're to get into your predictions in just a moment. But there was a social media clip and someone asked Tiger what is the what loss in his career stung the most. I was waiting for it to say the PGA the O2 PGA when you beat him. I was waiting. I was like, that's what he's going to say. That's what he's going to say. And he didn't. He talked about the Y. Yang PGA because because he was leading the tournament. Rich Beem (11:37.91) I, you know what, that was actually my, and I played with him the first two days there, Sandy, and every single day, I'm like, this guy's gonna win by 90. He's gonna blow everybody away. He's just gonna take this two, and he just, and he didn't, know, why he passed him? didn't have, he didn't have the goods on Sunday, which was so unreal to me. Sandy (11:48.634) Hahaha Rich Beem (12:04.961) I, to this day, it's like that, that I can see that I can see that being the biggest loss because he was actually, I think he was leading. I think it was the first time he actually lost a Only time he'd lost. Yep. I, I, listen, I can see that clear as day, but yeah, that, would have, I mean, cause listen, I had a bet everything that I owned that he was going to win going into Sunday with that week, Sandy (12:12.741) Yeah, he was. Only time he had lost when leading on Sunday, yes. Sandy (12:29.039) Yeah. I was waiting for him to say the loss to rich beam though. That's what I was waiting for. They would have been nice, right? okay. So let's jump into, moving along the golf. seems like the golf season never ends. It's one thing to another traveling circus. You're going to be covering the senior open at car new St back in the S you're playing in Rich Beem (12:32.993) Wow, that would have been nice too. Rich Beem (12:47.816) And playing. yeah, I'm here to play too, baby. I kicked the rust off the body today and I got out there and yeah, played a few holes, it great. Sandy (12:55.653) your pet past major exempt. What does that Rich Beem (12:59.613) I think that's what it is. Yeah, I think that's what my, my exemption into it is. don't really care. I just love this tournament. I love coming over here and competing in links golf courses and, and carnusity is probably my, it's, it's my favorite one. It's the hardest one, I think of the bunch, but I think it's, it's my favorite because you have to come and play a very intimidating golf course, which I'm not intimidated by it anymore. I just love it. I think I kind of have a good idea how to play You gotta hit, you gotta make quality swings, you gotta hit quality shots, but I love carnage. I've played well here a number of times and I'm excited. I can't wait to put you up on Thursday. Sandy (13:40.923) So what does your day look like? mean, how does it work with Sky Sports? you going to, let's say you tee off in the morning, do you have to work that afternoon? Or do they give you the whole day off as long as you're Rich Beem (13:47.736) Yeah, pretty much. I'll go back. Yeah, I'll go back. if I see off the number I tee up in the morning, because everything goes off in the first tee here, as it does in the open, I will, once I get done with my morning round, then I'll pop into commentary in the afternoon for an hour and a half, two hours. I don't think I'll have to go in when I'm doing after when I tee off in the afternoon. If I do, it only be for like 30, 45 minutes, which I don't think they'll make me do it. And then and then on the weekend after I get done playing. So my goal is to have a late enough tee time in the afternoon that I don't get a chance to go into commentary because that means I'm playing well and I'm in contention. Sandy (14:25.925) Yeah, I was gonna say, you must be hitting it pretty good if you're in the tournament. Rich Beem (14:30.304) You know what? I'm hitting it pretty good. it's, you know, again, it's coming off, you know, a hundred hour work week last week and you're trying to, last thing you want to do is look at a yardage book and figure it all out. But, you know, I guess it's just because it's Cardenusty and I know this golf course, so I'm really excited about Sandy (14:38.511) Yeah, well. Sandy (14:51.311) You got a local guy on the back? Rich Beem (14:53.375) I do, in fact he's a tour caddy on the European tour for a guy by the name of, well, they just separated, but he's been out on the tour for about four years now, but he's a local guy born and raised here and he knows the Scouts course as good as anybody. Thanks, ask me a blast. Yeah, ask me a blast. Sandy (15:09.371) That's cool, that's cool. Well, good luck. That'll be fun to follow you. We'll be watching for sure. Let's go back across the Atlantic to the United States and we head to the Twin Cities, TPC Twin Cities is where this week's 3M is. Who do you like in this? Rich Beem (15:25.495) I've got Tony Finau, Tom Hogy, and Eric Van Royen. And the reason being is I think Tony Finau is playing extremely well right now. He didn't have a very good open championship, but he also played in the afternoon on Friday when the, probably the worst weather came in. Tom Hogy and Eric Van Royen. Tom Hogy is from Minnesota. So he's a local guy. One of the best ball strikers we have on tour. I think he's amazing. And Eric Van Royen is South African, but he went to school in Minnesota and he's got one of his teammates on the bag. He's been counting for years now. And I think that they make a dynamic deal. So I'm taking Tony because of how he's been playing as of late. I can see him kind of bubbling up to win again. And then I've got two local guys just because I think that is, I think that they're going to be out there with a lot of fans behind him and that's what you Sandy (16:23.715) Alright, go back. I got a question for you about the about last week's open after the tournaments over and the trophy has been handed out and what's the town like afterwards? Is it is the party just rage on or is everyone like it's been a Rich Beem (16:38.018) Yeah, these folks don't say no. I mean, I actually went into town. So I stayed over last night and I went into town to meet up with some friends of mine that actually, they volunteer at the Open as security for the players. They're all special ex -military in the UK, in Scotland, but they just go, they follow the players around and you know, they're, mean, Sandy (16:42.681) Yeah Rich Beem (17:07.294) They're still tuned in pretty good. They're taking some of their skills that they've had in the military and they put them to good use. fact, there's a guy that comes over actually every year. That's a two star retired Admiral. And so, yeah, so I've gotten to know him very well. Dano. I couldn't tell you his real name, but that's his call sign. Dano. I wish it was Bookum Dano, but anyways, but we went into town last night. I met them for dinner and Sandy (17:19.855) Mm -hmm, that's cool. Rich Beem (17:37.159) I couldn't believe how, how many people were still in town and it's not, it's not local. I can promise you that Trune is not that big of a place and it's just a, it's just heaving. You know, there's just so many people there saying that are just hanging out. and it's not really any players, maybe a few caddies that you can see that, you know, maybe teed off late and hanging out, and just kind of, you know, having some fun before they have to flight, catch your flight back home. today, but I mean, these folks just, love it. They love the atmosphere. They love her and it was the town was absolutely rocking last night. I left, I left about nine 30, thankfully, because I can't, no, I left, I left town. Yeah. I went down there by about eight o 'clock. I stayed for about an hour and a half. And I'm like, okay, I got to get going back. Cause I knew that I had to wake up wake up and had to drive two and a half hours to get here today, but it was awesome. Sandy (18:15.589) That's Sandy (18:19.387) golf course you left at 930? I left town. Rich Beem (18:33.443) It was so much fun being down there and there's people out there who just hollering and hooting and just, you know, it was awesome. This is you would expect. Sandy (18:41.477) Cool, very, very cool. Well, good luck this week. I'm excited that you're in the senior open this week. It's been a while since you teed it up on tour professionally. Rich Beem (18:48.024) Me too. Yeah, it's, yeah, I haven't seen it often played since a senior PGA, which is back in May, but yeah, the body's okay. It's just, you know, why is it that we get a little bit older and like one day your right shoulder hurts and it might hurt for like three or four days. And then that pain goes away and all of a sudden your left knee hurts. Like, why is it? It's not for wimps. There's no doubt. And thankfully you've got this, this gal, this Irish gal that is the physio trailer over here. Sandy (19:11.099) Okay, getting old is not for wussies. Rich Beem (19:21.372) And she just walks in like Mr. Miyagi. And rubs her hands together and she's just amazing.

Central Indiana isn't necessarily known as a golf mecca, but it's well represented on the national championship stage by Crooked Stick Golf Club and its singular course designed by the legendary Pete and Alice Dye. It recently announced that it will host the 2028 U.S. Senior Open. It last hosted the Senior Open in 2009, drawing nearly 150,000 attendees to Carmel for three days of practices and four days of tournament play. In the last 20 years, Crooked Stick has hosted the 2005 Solheim Cup, 2007 USGA Women's Amateur, 2009 U.S. Senior Open, the 2012 BMW Championship, the 2016 BMW Championship, and the 2020 Western Amateur. This brings us to Tony Pancake, the director of golf at Crooked Stick, who has worked at the club for 21 years. He didn't compete in any of these events, but in late January he was announced as the recipient of the highest award granted by the PGA of America: Golf Professional of the Year. In the words of the PGA, the award recognizes leadership, strong moral character and a substantial record of service to the association and the game of golf. Pancake walks a fine line. He's charged with preserving one of the most significant golf courses in the country while pleasing the club's exclusive membership. He also needs to be sensitive to contemporary trends in golf while remaining faithful to the purpose of the club when it was founded in 1964: to provide a venue for championship-level golf. For this week's edition of the podcast, he discusses the mix of talents required to do his job justice—from a strong grasp of accounting to an instinctive ability to read people's unspoken needs. Golf is a people business, and Pancake explains in detail how the skills needed for success as a golf pro are the same tools needed for success in any business. He also shares a hair-raising story about a last-second trip last year to see his youngest daughter compete in the final of the British Amateur Championship, filled with twists and turns and ultimately made possible by the members of Crooked Stick. The IBJ Podcast is brought to you by Taft.

At the 3M Open, they discuss JT's MC and Finau's T7, and how we weight each. There's great anger over FedExCup standings updates lagging. There's praise for Lee Hodges, and some clarification on all the strawman J.T. Poston catnip about his going for the green. On the KFT recap, they discuss the Barstool broadcast of the Chicago event. News hits on the Jay memo a bit more and the outrageous decision by Carlota Ciganda do DQ herself rather than take a slow play penalty. 

Matt Adams recaps a wild weekend in golf. Celine Boutier wins the Evian Championship, Padraig Harrington and Alex Cejka power through insane weather at the Senior Open and Lee Hodges collects his 1st PGA Tour win at the 3M Open.

Brendan is at the beach with family, covered in sand and Oars & Alps sunscreen, and looking for a break from the “vacation.” And Andy is ebullient about getting a new couch. So this is a punchy episode on a range of subjects -- the field list at the 3M Open including the scion of a Dockers enthusiast, as well as some bigger names grinding to make an improved playoffs cutoff. That includes Justin Thomas, who is covered in some detail vis-a-vis the Ryder Cup. The two majors, the Senior Open and Evian, are also covered tersely with some critique for Champions Tour golf given Steve Stricker and Stew Cink are just no-showing. The U.S. Junior is given “ECCO event of the week,” with some questions about what actually constitutes a “junior” given that some full-blown college players are in the field. There's also an “All-Name Team” from that event. There's a lot of yelling about a little Courier Cup points bylaw that has jammed Akshay Bhatia from being in a proper spot on the points list. News hits on a report that the much-hyped 17th hole at Royal Liverpool, “Wee Eye,” will be “blown up” and made much fairer. 

While Jon and Aaron lament lost chances against Cubs, the Brewers go 7-3 on road trip.  Plenty of expectation resets needed as team continues to grow and learn how to win.  Then some updates on Badgers Football recruiting and the U.S. Senior Open.  Lastly, a Last Call segment featuring the Northwoods League. 

John Swantek hangs with Ryan Ballengee to unpack the weekend and discuss the significant victories secured by Bernhard Langer at the U.S. Senior Open and Rickie Fowler an the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

With the holiday this week in the USA and the early finish in Detroit, Andy and Brendan jump on the horn for this Sunday edition. They are overjoyed with Rickie Fowler's playoff win at the 3-1-3 Classic, where he birdied the last and then did it again in extras against Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin. They discuss the absolute hot streak that the PGA Tour is on this year, even at the events that are supposed to stink. Andy has some props for Rickie vs. Just A Guy and a Ryder Cup prognosis. That transitions to another rough week for JT, who is on the playoffs bubble and mired with the “SB2K” bug. Outside of Detroit, they discuss the lack of pop over on LIV but praise their slow play enforcement. There's also a backboarding mess on the Euro Tour and record-breaking dominant win for another anchorman at the U.S. Senior Open. 

We address all the social media chatter triggered by ESPN analyst Seth Greenberg's blanket criticism of “local media” when it comes to John Calipari; two national talking heads weigh in as well; veteran referee Doug Hampton on rule changes coming to D-1 basketball (good ones, too); former HS hoops coach-turned-golfer Tony Wise, who's qualified to play in the U.S. Senior Open and West End Bureau Chief Gary Moore on this National Bourbon Day.
