It was a busy week in the golf world this week and it began with Ben Griffin getting his first solo PGA Tour win at the Colonial Country Club. Griffin was able to hang on down the stretch for a one-stroke victory and crept closer to a possible Ryder Cup spot with the win. It is major week in women's golf as the best players in the world head to Wisconsin and Erin Hills for the U.S. Open. Mike and Tim have played Erin Hills and give a little insight into the golf course. Marc Dull stamped his name into USGA four-ball lore last week when he won a match at the amateur four-ball championship by himself. After his partner had to leave, Dull managed to win a match and then pushed his next match deep into the round until bowing out. The improbability is crazy and we are here to talk about it. We had the PGA Tour changing the tour championship, Charlie Woods with a psycho scorecard, Will Zalatoris with another back injury and the podcast guys discuss the one-man scramble they played in this week on episode 141 of the Break80 Podcast.

-PGA Championship review -Discussing Colonial -Talking top 7 on odds board -1 t10, 1 t20 -2 outrights (+250, 45/1) -Sleeper -2 FRP, 2 lineups, Scoring, best bet -Soudal outright & t10 The podcast, hosted by Will Doctor, offers a comprehensive preview of the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club and touches on the Soudal Open. Doctor begins with praise for world number one Scottie Scheffler, forecasting his victory at Colonial and noting his dominant Texas swing. Scheffler's recent win at the PGA Championship marked his 15th PGA Tour title before age 29, aligning him with legends like Nicklaus and Woods. Doctor outlines Scheffler's stats from the event, highlighting his final round resilience, including an eagle on 14, critical birdies on 14 and 15, and solid putting after initial struggles. Randy Smith, Scheffler's coach, described this performance as possibly the most rewarding round Scheffler has played. Doctor critiques his own PGA Championship betting card, noting it only yielded a half-unit gain despite hits on Scheffler (+550) and DeChambeau (Top 10). He reflects on losses from backing McIlroy, Thomas, and Im, delving into McIlroy's inaccuracy off the tee, failed iron play, and silence following a USGA equipment test that deemed his driver nonconforming. Justin Thomas's underperformance is attributed to poor ball striking, while Jon Rahm's fade despite elite ball striking was due to putting failures. The host shifts to Colonial course analysis, highlighting a $25 million renovation aimed at restoring Perry Maxwell's original design. Though some greens now appear less aesthetic, the redesign added hydronic systems to preserve bentgrass surfaces. Doctor stresses the importance of accuracy and iron sharpness over distance, favoring creative shot-shapers and bentgrass specialists. Scheffler is his top pick again at +250, citing his exceptional iron play and previous Colonial results. Daniel Berger, though strong with irons recently, is dismissed due to weak putting on bentgrass. Fleetwood, Spieth, Matsuyama, and McNeely are similarly passed over due to poor form or course misfit. Two featured picks to place are Davis Riley (Top 10 at +350), praised for improved driving and short game despite iron inconsistencies, and Aaron Rai (Top 20 at +130), celebrated for precision and bentgrass putting. Doctor's outright longshot is JT Poston (45-1), noted for consistent driving, improving irons, and elite putting, making him an ideal Scheffler challenger. The sleeper pick is Thor Bjorn Olsen to Top 10 at 6-1, based on positive recent form and favorable putting surface. First-round bets include Scheffler (Top 10 at even) and Harry Hall (Top 10 at 5-1), with Hall's strong putting and improved iron play highlighted. Two fantasy lineups are shared. The DraftKings lineup features Poston, Rai, Riley, Hall, Olsen, and David Ford—a top-ranked amateur with Colonial experience. The PGA Tour fantasy team mirrors this with Ford and Olsen benched. Doctor forecasts a 12-under winning score and pegs Poston (Top 10 at 3-1) as the best bet. For the Soudal Open, Thomas Pieters is tipped to win at 22-1 and to Top 10 at +225. Doctor notes Pieters' revived iron play and strong finishes in past editions of the home event. The episode concludes with a promo code and a sign-off promising updates from the next major venue.

Jane shares her thoughts on this year's Augusta National Women's Amateur and the Legends of the LPGA Tour. We revisit her first win on the LPGA Tour—the 1986 U.S. Women's Open—which she captured in a Monday playoff over Sally Little. That week was marred by apocalyptic chaos just short of locusts and the 4 Horseman. You'll hear about that plus how Jane arrived early for the Monday playoff and was sitting on her bag on the 1st tee before the USGA officials set up the tee markers. When asked what she was doing, she said I'm ready to play. Jane also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the Legends of the LPGA Tour came to be, reflects on last year's Senior Women's U.S. Open at Fox Chapel in Pittsburgh, and looks ahead to this year's championship in San Diego.

(00:01) Golf Rules and Fair Play This chapter kicks off with some lighthearted banter about Derby week in Louisville, Kentucky, and the coincidental horse names, Journalist and Publisher, which spark a humorous betting anecdote. Shifting gears to golf, we explore the complexities and often misunderstood nature of golf rules, especially those pertaining to the PGA Tour and the FedEx Playoffs. We question the fairness of giving the top 10 players a stroke advantage and ponder a potential rule change that would start all players at zero, likening it to NCAA tournament seedings. Finally, we address the confusion many amateurs face in distinguishing between one-stroke and two-stroke penalties, acknowledging the challenge of fully understanding golf's intricate rulebook. (11:07) Navigating Water Hazards in Golf This chapter takes a closer look at the differences between red and yellow penalty areas on a golf course, often referred to as hazards. We explore the nuances of each, including how they impact dropping options and gameplay. Red penalty areas, or lateral hazards, typically offer more flexibility, allowing players to drop the ball on either side of the hazard or move two club lengths away from where the ball last crossed the hazard line. Yellow penalty areas, however, are more restrictive, often requiring the player to play across the hazard, as seen in island greens. We also address common misconceptions, such as the belief that a ball only needs to touch the ground on the safe side to be playable, clarifying that it must come to rest there. Through examples like the TPC at Sawgrass and a former hole at Pine Tree Golf Club, we illustrate the practical application of these rules, emphasizing the importance of understanding them to avoid unnecessary penalties. (24:11) Understanding Golf Penalties and Rules This chapter focuses on the nuances of golf penalties and the importance of rule distinctions in the game. We explore how accidental infractions, like accidentally moving a ball to a better position, are addressed with a one-stroke penalty to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage. Additionally, we discuss the two-stroke penalties for more serious violations, such as playing a wrong ball or from the wrong place, and the potential disqualification if a player fails to rectify the mistake before teeing off on the next hole. The conversation highlights the intricacies of golf rules and suggests bringing in a USGA rules official for future discussions to clarify these complex scenarios. The topic of how the game changes when the ball reaches the green is also introduced, setting the stage for further exploration. (34:13) Unfair Golf Rules Debate This chapter brings back the weekend golf discussions where we explore some of the rules that often irk us, especially the unfair penalty strokes. Jeff passionately shares his frustration about not being able to move a ball out of a divot in the fairway, a rule he finds unfair compared to others that allow for improving one's position in a penalty area. We examine the inconsistency in these rules and suggest that divots should be considered ground under repair, as it would make the game fairer. Additionally, we touch on the humorous yet serious side of rules, like the scenario where a player's ball accidentally falls off the tee, clarifying that intent to hit is required for a stroke to count. This leads us to discuss recent changes in rules regarding accidental ball movement, particularly once the ball is in play, highlighting the evolving nature of golf regulations. (41:47) Debate Over Golf Rules This chapter explores the ongoing debate about the USGA's rules of golf and their impact on both amateur and professional players. We discuss the contradictions within the rule book and the idea that amateurs make the rules for professionals, which some find perplexing. The conversation highlights the concept of bifurcation, where different rules could apply to amateurs and professionals, especially regarding equipment like golf balls. The idea of a professional tour creating its own set of rules is also considered, with an understanding that any changes would be widely communicated due to the sport's televised nature. We encourage listeners to familiarize themselves with the USGA rules by obtaining a rule book, emphasizing the importance of understanding the regulations while recognizing the debates surrounding them.

Stay in the Fight—Always: Even after a bad shot or penalty, you're only one great swing away from turning the hole around. Never mentally check out. Control What You Can Control: You can't police every rule or correct every shady scorecard. What you can control is your attitude, effort, and energy. Your Emotional State Is Contagious: Whether it's your playing partner melting down or opponents bickering, you must protect your energy and stay anchored in your process. Audit Your Self-Talk and Body Language: The way you speak to yourself after a mistake either drains or fuels your next shot. Choose awareness over autopilot. Routine Is Your Reset Button: A consistent pre-shot routine was the anchor during high-pressure moments. When things go sideways, your routine keeps you grounded. Key Quotes: “You are not judge, jury, and executioner out there. Control your ball—and your response.” “Even when I hit a ball OB, I stayed in the fight. I didn't skip my routine. I didn't give up.” “Every missed shot is just an invitation to execute the next one better.” “Tournament golf just hits different—and I fucking loved it.” “You can't afford to leak energy worrying about things beyond your control.” “Pat's opponent lived rent-free in his head—and it cost him the round. Don't give away your power.” “I may not have played my best golf, but mentally, I showed up like a pro. And that's the foundation of what's coming next.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Introduction to Member Member Weekend 05:03: First Impressions and Initial Experiences 10:58: Learning the Rules of Match Play 15:01: Mental Resilience and Self-Talk 20:34: Tournament Golf: The Thrill of Competition 24:47: Navigating the Course Challenges 27:28: Lessons from Competitive Play 29:45: Staying Committed to the Process 32:14: Managing Emotions and Energy on the Course 35:49: The Importance of Team Dynamics 38:18: Reclaiming Your Power 40:05: Identifying Areas for Improvement 44:54: Reflecting on the Experience

In this very special bonus episode of Next on the Tee, acclaimed author and golf journalist Rick Reilly returns to the show. Rick and I cover a wide range of topics that span everything from Trump's "club championships wins" to The Masters. We kick things off with Rick's take on President Trump's self-declared victories at his various club championships, including winning the Triple Crown at his home course. I ask Rick: how many of these wins are actually real and Rick doubles down on his doubts about by saying he'd play Trump for $100,000 on a neutral course with USGA rules officials watching both players. Rick shares his thoughts on the potential PGA Tour–LIV Golf merger, including a reported high-profile meeting at the White House, and whether any real progress was made. We then dig into Rick's past relationship with Greg Norman, how Norman's difficult relationship with his father may have influenced his drive to create LIV, and whether that ambition came more from Norman's disdain for the PGA Tour or a personal need for validation from his father. Rick also breaks down why Jack Nicklaus is the undisputed GOAT. As we gear up for The Masters, Rick shares stories from his time caddying at Augusta National for 1973 champion Tommy Aaron, including the physical demands of the course and the behind-the-scenes grind of being a caddy. We close with a lighthearted debate over his Washington Post article about spreading ashes on golf courses—specifically Augusta—and whether it's okay to become part of the fairway after your final round. This episode is filled with insight, laughs, and some truly unique perspectives from one of golf's most entertaining storytellers.

In this third installment of our four-part conversation with 1993 U.S. Women's Open Champion Lauri Merten, we dive headfirst into the emotional and unforgettable week at Crooked Stick that changed her life forever. With raw honesty and captivating detail, Lauri takes us through the rollercoaster of self-doubt, resilience, and unlikely triumph that defined her historic victory.Coming off a missed cut the week prior and wrestling with confidence issues, Lauri describes how a simple shopping trip and a bronze sculpture became her quiet source of inspiration heading into the championship. From early nerves and pep talks from her caddie, Tom Hanson, to clutch birdies and gritty par saves, she walks us through each turning point with vivid recollections—including a dramatic chip-in, a critical bogey save on 11, and her birdie at 16 that sent goosebumps through the gallery.You'll hear how Lauri navigated the pressure, a weather-delayed final round, and the tension of watching challengers like Donna Andrews and Helen Alfredsson fall just short. She reflects on her mindset, her putting drills that paid off at just the right moment, and the joy—and shock—of hearing the final roar when the final challenger's putt missed the mark.With her trademark humor and humility, Lauri also shares heartfelt moments about her parents, her mixed feelings about a controversial Sports Illustrated article, and her plans to finally share some cherished memorabilia with the USGA.This episode is a tribute to perseverance, belief, and the magic that can unfold when preparation meets opportunity.

(00:01) Choosing the Right Golf Ball This chapter takes us through the exciting time of year for sports fans, highlighting the upcoming March Madness, the Masters, the Kentucky Derby, and the Indy 500. We discuss the role of BetOnline as a resource for sports enthusiasts who want to engage in betting during this busy sports season. Additionally, we explore a listener's question about choosing the right golf ball, emphasizing the importance of selecting a ball based on short game performance rather than solely on driver speed. We touch on how golfers' equipment choices, including golf balls, evolve as they become more serious about the game. By considering the needs of the short game, we offer insights into finding the best golf ball to enhance overall performance on the course. (12:38) Choosing the Right Golf Ball Features This chapter focuses on the complexities of choosing the right golf ball based on a player's skill level and playing habits. We explore the variability introduced by human golfers compared to standardized testing methods like those conducted by the USGA. The discussion highlights how factors such as swing consistency and clubface control can affect performance and the economic considerations of purchasing higher-end golf balls. We advise that players who struggle with accuracy and lose balls frequently might benefit from choosing more affordable options, whereas more skilled golfers can justify investing in premium balls for better performance, especially around the greens. Ultimately, the context of each player's abilities and goals should guide their choice in golf equipment. (25:39) Choosing the Right Golf Club This chapter focuses on the importance of getting fitted for golf clubs by knowledgeable professionals rather than making impulsive purchases based on appearances or advertisements. We discuss how newer clubs, designed with advanced materials and engineering, can significantly improve a player's performance, especially for those with slower swing speeds or aging players. We emphasize the importance of updating equipment to match current capabilities and highlight real-life examples of golfers who have benefited from this approach. Additionally, we share insights into how subtle habits, like leaning on a club or hitting the ground during practice swings, can affect equipment integrity and performance. This episode underscores the value of proper equipment fitting and maintenance in enhancing one's golf game. (36:20) The Importance of Golf Equipment This chapter explores the common misconceptions surrounding the use of golf gloves and the importance of maintaining equipment in good condition. We humorously discuss how golfers often misuse gloves, either by using them when they are worn out or dirty, which diminishes their effectiveness in enhancing grip. The conversation shifts to when equipment truly begins to matter for a golfer's performance, particularly emphasizing the impact of having the right driver. We highlight that while average players might not see drastic improvements with better equipment, those shooting under 90 can benefit significantly from well-fitted clubs. The chapter concludes with advice on selecting equipment, urging players to test and get fitted for drivers rather than being swayed by appearances or advertisements, as having the right driver can greatly influence both practical play and psychological confidence on the course.

Brendan parlays his excitement about the Cavs into a recap of LIV's first-ever round on FS2, complete with dancing robots, strobe lights, and a Backstreet Boys appearance! Brendan shares details of his morning watching the 54 players in Riyadh and calls Thursday's first round "the golf broadcast of the year" to this point. With solid first rounds from names such as Dustin Johnson, Lee Westwood, and new signing Tom McKibbin, there's some anticipation for the final two rounds of competition in Saudi Arabia. In other LIV news, the USGA announced an exemption category for LIV golfers, the first major to have an explicit category for LIV qualifiers. On the PGA Tour, a statement regarding Jay Monahan and Adam Scott meeting with President Trump was released just before recording. The three met to discuss a potential deal between the PGA Tour and PIF, which the statement alleges is becoming closer to being a reality. Andy and Brendan then talk through Rory McIlroy's response to Charley Hoffman's letter taking "thinly-veiled" shots at him earlier this week. On the golf course, the WM Phoenix Open has turned into a influencer event, which has Brendan wondering whether it could be that exclusive if everyone's invited.
