Happy Gilmore is all about Happy who breaks the mold by changing the rules of golf and life. 30 years later, Adam Sandler is back with Happy Gilmore 2, starring some familiar faces from the original plus new cast additions but filled with star studded pop ups through out, never knowing who's going to be in one scene to the next with a storyline that really shakes things up! In the same spirit, our special episode of The Pivot in partnership with Netflix, is celebrating “disruptors” who much like Happy Gilmore, have made a tremendous impact in culture, sports and comedy. Filming in front of a live audience from our Happy Place at Top Golf, this episode is full of laughs, insights and unique life experiences. Sitting with comic legends Lavell Crawford and Kym Whitley, we are treated to an unfiltered conversation of not just making it in show business but staying there. We get inside scoop of what it's truly like being on set with Adam Sandler, pressure of working with a high profile cast, challenges of being a disruptor, pushback received and how to make it in a high-stakes world designed for failure. There is no shortage of banter between Channing and Lavell, as Ryan tries to keep it all flowing smoothly and Kym clings onto Fred's calming demeanor. Happy Gilmore 2 premieres on Netflix Friday July 25th and is truly a movie you don't want to miss with a firery cast of celebs, athletes and entertainers who complete part 2 of this story 30 years in the making!

Have you ever wondered what the future of pickleball training might look like? Wonder no more. PlayKout, a revolutionary pickleball simulator, is changing the game by blending high-intensity training with addictive gameplay elements—creating what founders Sean Edwards and Jorge Guerrero aptly describe as "the TopGolf of pickleball."During our visit to their Dallas headquarters, we experienced firsthand how this compact system (just 11' high x 11' wide x 4' deep) delivers an impressive workout while making practice genuinely fun. The concept is brilliant yet straightforward: a ball machine feeds pickleballs toward players who aim at targets displayed on a projection screen. Players can enjoy games like Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect Four, and target practice while hitting up to 40 balls per minute. The cognitive benefits are substantial—you're simultaneously tracking the ball, selecting targets, and executing shots, mimicking the split-second decisions required in actual match play.What makes PlayKout particularly revolutionary is its dual focus on performance and entertainment. Unlike previous simulator attempts that emphasized just technical training, PlayKout creates an engaging experience that keeps players returning while simultaneously improving their skills. Professional tennis player John Isner described it as "dangerously fun" after trying the system—a sentiment we enthusiastically echo after our own sweaty session.For facility owners, PlayKout represents an opportunity to monetize underutilized "dead space" by essentially adding another "court" that can generate revenue comparable to court rentals. The system is already heading to Dave & Buster's locations, Dill Dinkers franchises, and is being considered for cruise ships, corporate wellness programs, and even residential installations. The founders are even exploring virtual tournaments where players can compete across multiple locations.Ready to see the future of pickleball training? Check out PlayKout on Instagram @PlayKout or visit their website at letsplaykout.com to witness this game-changing technology that's bringing virtual reality to the pickleball world.Saddle up and have a listen, you'll be glad you did!Looking for a fitness app specifically designed for Pickleheads?

(00:00) Masters Golf Tournament Drama and Analysis This chapter brings you an exhilarating discussion about the thrilling conclusion of the Masters, where Rory McIlroy clinched victory. We recount the nerve-wracking moments on the 18th green, highlighting Rory's missed putt in regulation and the pressure-laden five-footer in the playoff. The conversation shifts to praise for Jim Nance, whose silence during the climactic moment allowed the emotion of the scene to resonate. We also reflect on the sportsmanship of Justin Rose, who, despite wanting to win, was mindful of his friendship with Rory and the significance of the occasion. This exploration of the tournament's high drama captures the essence of golf's emotional rollercoaster and the gentlemanly conduct of its players. (16:18) Golf Swing Improvement Tips This chapter addresses common misconceptions in golf swings, emphasizing the importance of understanding the real issues behind hitting thin shots. We explore how many golfers misdiagnose their swing problems due to myths, such as the need to keep the head down, which leads to unnecessary tension. By focusing on relaxing the arms and understanding the true goal—hitting the ground properly—we highlight exercises like hitting a penny or a tee to improve swing accuracy. By shifting focus away from myths and onto practical techniques, we encourage golfers to concentrate on playing the game rather than overanalyzing their swing. The chapter concludes by discussing the negative impact of stress on performance and the importance of staying relaxed to achieve better results on the course. (33:19) Topgolf Fun and Junior Golf Interest This chapter is all about the joys and lessons learned from a day out at Topgolf with my four-year-old grandson. I recount the story of how a simple TV commercial sparked my grandson's interest in golf, leading to a fun-filled outing where the focus was more on enjoyment than technique. I reflect on the importance of letting kids explore activities on their terms, emphasizing that fun and curiosity should be at the heart of learning. By allowing my grandson to swing the club in his unique way and simply enjoy the experience, we created a memorable day that might inspire a lasting interest in golf. The episode underscores the idea that fostering a love for the game should be prioritized over pushing for technical perfection, highlighting the magic that happens when kids are allowed to learn through play. (42:27) Indoor Golf Technology Advancements This chapter explores the exciting world of indoor golf, particularly focusing on the innovative league created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. We highlight the unique features of this league, such as the use of simulators and synthetic greens that can alter contours, providing a realistic golfing experience even indoors. The discussion touches on how the integration of advanced technology has significantly enhanced indoor golf, with improvements in ball flight tracking, club analysis, and graphics. This evolution makes it a great time to be a golfer, whether you're a seasoned player or just getting started. We encourage listeners to embrace the new advancements in golf, dust off their clubs, and enjoy the sport, whether indoors or outdoors, and to consider taking lessons to enhance their skills.

From 04/17 Hour 3: The Sports Junkies break down the Commanders recruiting trip to Topgolf.

Washington made a splash last year with a Top Golf outing for many of their intended draft targets. This year they're bringing in 20 all in one day. What can we make of these visits when it comes to draft day?

When Adam Peters and Dan Quinn took most of their Top 30 draft targets to Top Golf for an outing in 2024, it was widely viewed as a farce. Jayden Daniels was there. Drake Maye was there. As it turns out, it was an effective look at how the players interact and resulted in most of their picks being at that outing. This year they did it again. Will the picks again come from this group?
