1091: Fall Events That Slap + Great Dunes

Soly and TC catch up on the news of the week as Matt Fitzpatrick wins the DP World Tour Championship while Rory wins another Race to Dubai. We also show our appreciation for the Butterfield and other fall events that seemingly always punch above their weight, talk through the week for the LPGA, assorted news and notes including JT’s surgery and the publication of PGA Tour financials. We close with some thoughts on our recent trip to Great Dunes on Jekyll Island.  Join us in our support of the Evans Scholars Foundation: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://nolayingup.com/esf⁠ Support our Sponsors: Titleist Rhoback SoFi If you enjoyed this episode, consider joining⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Nest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: No Laying Up’s community of avid golfers.

DJ and Tron recently sat down with Joey Ferrari, a truly unique character in golf with a life story that defies belief on numerous levels.  From his decorated amateur career - capped by qualifying for the 1994 US Open - to a ten year prison sentence for selling cocaine and methamphetamines, we’re incredibly thankful to Joey for his openness and willingness to tell his story without reservation.   Join us in our support of the Evans Scholars Foundation: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://nolayingup.com/esf⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support our Sponsors: Rhoback The Stack If you enjoyed this episode, consider joining⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Nest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: No Laying Up’s community of avid golfers.

Soly and Randy review the week highlighted by quotes from Rory on captaining the European Ryder Cup team and what he views as successfully growing the game. We also discuss the amateur reinstatement debate and the reported shakeups at PGA Tour HQ before breaking down Tommy’s win in India on the DP World Tour and Sei Young Kim’s win at the BMW Ladies Championship. In part two (52:00), Randy is joined by Cody and Jordan for a look at the career and legacy of Se Ri Pak. We begin with the origins of golf in her native South Korea and her upbringing and introduction to the game. From there, we learn about the journey to the United States and the LPGA Tour, the pressures she felt from sponsors to compete against the best women in golf, and her major wins - highlighted by the 1998 US Women’s Open. We close with a look at Se Ri’s legacy in the game, particularly the generation of Asian women who have followed her road to success in major championships and the LPGA Tour.

Dr. Sasho Mackenzie returns to the pod for an eye opening discussion around all things putting with Soly, Neil and Cody. Sasho has developed a Stack Putting app as a companion to his speed training work and the research into rolling better putts led to a ton of questions from us around what differentiates good putters and bad putters, how different putter types and grips affect success, green reading mistakes, putting while looking at the hole instead of the ball, and a ton more.
