Mudball Monday 86-PGA Championship Week! The Increasing Value of Majors!

As you can probably gather from the title, Neal Shipley is not your average Amateur golfer. Nothing against many of my other peers of the past, but not many guys are as interesting as Neal. Today we get into a great and somewhat wide ranging conversation about the notes above, the DERT of course, how Neal had such a great summer of golf, Waffle House, and more. I was highly impressed with Neal's outlook on golf and how it relates to our lives in general and his overall perspective on things. I believe you all will really enjoy getting to learn more about the long haired, fun loving, long hitting Ohio State Buckeye who made an inspiring run at Cherry Hills all the way to the finals this summer which has earned him spots in the 2024 Masters and US Open.Let us know at the links below if you have any feedback on this episode or anything else we have been doing!Cheers,- The Tie GuysWebsite:https://www.thetiepodcast.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thetiepodcast/?hl=enTwitter:https://mobile.twitter.com/thetiepodcastGoodWalk Coffee:https://goodwalkcoffee.comCODE: thetie for 20% offBDraddy:bdraddy.comCODE: thetie25 for 25% off

Former Stanford Golfer Patrick Grimes joins us this week to discuss his change in path post professional golf. Now focused on coaching, he's applying the same desire he had for competitive golf to psychology and holistic treatment. We hope you learn something from this chat, and as always, open to discuss on the DM's or over email. See you soon!Cheers,- The Tie GuysPatrick's Coaching Page: https://www.instagram.com/patrickgrimesgolf/Patrick's Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iampgrimes/?hl=enWebsite:https://www.thetiepodcast.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thetiepodcast/?hl=enTwitter:https://mobile.twitter.com/thetiepodcastGoodWalk Coffee:https://goodwalkcoffee.comCODE: thetie for 20% offBDraddy:bdraddy.comCODE: thetie25 for 25% off

Although somewhat a thing of the past, the US Open has a long history of crazy setups, some reaching the point to where players discussed not being willing to play the event or to boycott the event altogether. While the devil on my shoulder hopes that we have not moved on from those sorts of US Opens for good, the angel says it's a positive thing for the game that the USGA has gotten their hands around how to make US Open courses a stern yet fair test.With that being said, today we are talking about some of those US Opens that weren't so "stern yet fair" and were either more in the category of supremely stern or in a few cases, perhaps just downright south of fair. For the fan, one of the great byproducts of an event that gets a little ridiculous is the response from the players. The wildest events leave us with some of the best quotes, so for each of the 6 opens we discuss, we include some of the week's best quotes from players.We hope you all enjoy this conversation!Cheers,- The Tie GuysWebsite:https://www.thetiepodcast.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thetiepodcast/?hl=enTwitter:https://mobile.twitter.com/thetiepodcastGoodWalk Coffee:https://goodwalkcoffee.comCODE: thetie for 20% offBDraddy:bdraddy.comCODE: thetie25 for 25% off

Brentley is back once again as anytime we want to get some NCAA golf going at The Tie, he is our go to man. As someone who has covered the collegiate game for over 12 years now, Brentley has as much knowledge on these teams and coaches as about anyone you will find.In this episode, Henry and Brentley attack the 2023-2024 season with a few different questions that aren't just simply a top 5 players and teams but rather some more interesting questions to get Brentley thinking about who is really good, who may be in that second bucket, and who we need to keep our eyes out for.For a more straight forward preseason primer and rankings check out the two links below under Brentley's mens and womens preseason rankings for the full scoop.Thanks as always for joining and please enjoy the show!Cheers,- The Tie GuysBrentley's Preseason Rankings:Mens: https://www.nbcsports.com/golf/news/ncaa-mens-golf-preseason-rankings-top-30-teams-players-for-2023-24Womens: https://www.nbcsports.com/golf/news/ncaa-womens-golf-preseason-rankings-top-30-teams-players-for-2023-24Website:https://www.thetiepodcast.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thetiepodcast/?hl=enTwitter:https://mobile.twitter.com/thetiepodcastGoodWalk Coffee:https://goodwalkcoffee.comCODE: thetie for 20% offBDraddy:bdraddy.comCODE: thetie25 for 25% off

The US Mid Am, also affectionately known as simply "The Mid." A collection of guys who can definitely still play, don't take things too seriously, and are most definitely just #happytobethere.This is my maiden voyage into the world of mid amateur golf and boy am I excited to play at this level for years to come. Guys are there to compete and have fun, but at the end of the day, no one can complain because at the very least we're all taking a few days away from work and the realities of life. Today, the tie guys sit down to talk about Sleepy Hollow CC, Fenway GC, and compare and contrast The Mid with The US Amateur. While they're both awesome USGA events, there is no mistaking one for the other. Tune in to hear our thoughts and find out why!Cheers,- The Tie GuysWebsite:https://www.thetiepodcast.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thetiepodcast/?hl=enTwitter:https://mobile.twitter.com/thetiepodcastGoodWalk Coffee:https://goodwalkcoffee.comCODE: thetie for 20% offBDraddy:bdraddy.comCODE: thetie25 for 25% off

Pleased to have No Laying Up's Neil Schuster join the pod today to discuss some of the physical challenges he's taken on in the last few years and why he is inclined to set goals and seek challenges. We talk a lot about how particularly as former athletes, as we reach adult life, there are not as many goals and challenges that we are faced with and ho important it is to make a point of seeking those things. Not only are physical and athletic goals a great way to stay in shape, but the positive externalities on those around us as well as in other areas of our lives are apparent and are as much of a reason as any to get things on the calendar.Lastly, we discuss the power of consistency and how it is crucial to anything in life. Be it fitness, relationships, business, or anything else, finding consistency is crucial to progress and physical goals are a great way to practice this skill.I hope everyone enjoys this episode and gains something from it!Cheers,- The Tie GuysWebsite:https://www.thetiepodcast.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thetiepodcast/?hl=enTwitter:https://mobile.twitter.com/thetiepodcastGoodWalk Coffee:https://goodwalkcoffee.comCODE: thetie for 20% offBDraddy:bdraddy.comCODE: thetie25 for 25% off

We're sticking our necks out a bit today to share our takes on courses we think sit somewhere in the rankings they maybe shouldn't. While The Tie Course Reviews typically are not so much about rankings, we can't refer to a place as being overrated, underrated, or properly rated if we don't talk about where they sit in rankings. While ranking a course for everyone is a hard thing to do as not everyone is going to see a course in the same way and want the same things out of it, we did try today to think about each of these courses from multiple perspectives and not just our own so that we could speak fairly confidently on our opinions here. We look forward your feedback on these golf courses and any opinions you all may have on these courses as well as any others. Here are the courses we discuss for reference:Over rated: Peachtree GC/Crystal DownsUnder rated: Seminole GC/Pebble BeachProperly rated: The Country Club/Yeamans HallCheers,- The Tie GuysWebsite:https://www.thetiepodcast.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thetiepodcast/?hl=enTwitter:https://mobile.twitter.com/thetiepodcastGoodWalk Coffee:https://goodwalkcoffee.comCODE: thetie for 20% offBDraddy:bdraddy.comCODE: thetie25 for 25% off

It's Walker Cup week, and for this episode we are previewing the matches with coach Andrew DiBitetto who has 3 players teeing it up at St. Andrews for the US squad! This is something that has only been done twice before by college teams with both Cal and Alabama having 3 players on the 2013 squad at NGLA. Coach DiBitetto and Henry break down each of his 3 guys teeing it up this week, Dylan Menante, David Ford, and Austin Greaser, what each of their processes were like making the team and sweating out final selections, what each of them brings to the squad and more. Further, we talk about what has given rise to the success of UNC Men's golf over the last 6 years since Coach DiBitetto has taken the reigns and how that has led to something like having 3 American Walker Cuppers.After this first segment with Coach DiBitetto, Henry and Walker wrap things up by providing a little more action on the event overall, it's history at St. Andrews, the other 7 US players, as well as the GB&I squad, and finally, a few picks to round out the episode!Hope you all enjoy this episode and as always, we greatly appreciate you supporting us!Cheers,- The Tie GuysWebsite:https://www.thetiepodcast.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thetiepodcast/?hl=enTwitter:https://mobile.twitter.com/thetiepodcastGoodWalk Coffee:https://goodwalkcoffee.comCODE: thetie for 20% offBDraddy:bdraddy.comCODE: thetie25 for 25% off
