Fore Play

Bryson DeChambeau joins the podcast for a full interview... and he does not back down. In the most iconic moment in Fore Play history, Bryson murders Frankie. We ask him about his scientific approach, the single length irons, spritzing his balls, putting with the flagstick in, dealing with the haters, the Ryder Cup fallout, and MUCH more. This is a Fore Play to be remembered. You can find every ep...

No golfer is more polarizing to the Fore Play boys than Bryson DeChambeau. In the last week alone, the 25-year-old has said he'll putt with the flagstick in in 2019 (depending on the coefficient of restitution), said there's three quarters in hockey, detailed how he's "neurologically comfortable" on the course, and won his 5th PGA Tour event. Our house has never been more divided. We als...

Riggs played a round with Brandel Chamblee this weekend and we're back to discuss that, “The Match,” and much more.

In FTG, we break down what to wear to an indoor golf simulator, the best course keepsakes, why Frankie pro...

The boys are back in town and we've got a ton of listener-submitted From The Galleries to get through. In Headlines, we got Johnny Miller retiring, DJ and Brooks making the most cringey video ever, and we debate...

Still reeling from our Greg Norman interview and inspired by the Ryder Cup drama, we're back and firing on all cylinders. We're back to digest and react to all the past week's Ryder Cup fallout. Did DJ and Brooks fight each other? Was Paulina involved? Does Spieth hate Reed? Does Reed's wife run his show? Was Jim Furyk disingenuous in his Golf Channel interview? Does Furyk just not have a brain? I...

Legend Greg Norman joins us in studio, and he's even more impressive in person. The Shark tells riveting stories and chops it up like he's simply one of the boys. If he could have one shot to do over again, which would it be? Does he have the best logo in the world? What's the most nervous he's ever been? Is there anything he wished he didn't say? What's his single favorite golf shot to hit? What...
