  • Fall Golf: Bring Layers… and a Leaf Blower
    Oct 11 2026

    John and Jeff settle in for a classic fall‑golf conversation — equal parts practical, ridiculous, and “why hasn’t anyone thought of this before?”

    Jeff kicks things off with a life update: he’s taking a rare month off from teaching to spend time with his wife, including a trip to the Indiana vs. Nebraska football game. Thanks to his friendship with Coach Matt Rhule, Jeff’s getting VIP access to the Huskers’ sideline, which John insists is the most Jeff thing ever.

    From there, the guys dive into the chaos of autumn golf, where the leaves are pretty, the air is crisp, and every tee shot becomes a scavenger hunt. John unveils his million‑dollar idea: golf‑course leaf‑blower rentals so players can blast away leaves and pine needles to find their golf balls. Jeff immediately approves — calling it the kind of innovation that could extend the season and save golfers everywhere from the dreaded “lost in the leaves” penalty.
    They break down the realities of playing in cooler weather:

    Layering without restricting your swing

    Heat packs for hands and pockets

    Keeping ball position consistent when your body feels different

    Why fall golf in the western U.S. plays nothing like fall golf anywhere else

    The show wraps with gear talk — cart covers, cold‑weather accessories, and a reminder to keep your game sharp without freezing your face off. And as always, the guys encourage listeners to enjoy sports responsibly with FanDuel.

  • Golf Rules: Because Common Sense Was Busy
    Oct 4 2026

    • Divot Repair Madness
    Jeff kicks things off with his long‑standing gripe: why on earth can’t you fix a divot in the fairway? We can repair the green like surgeons, but the fairway — the place you’re supposed to hit the ball — is apparently sacred ground. John shares a video of two British golfers arguing about divot definitions like they’re rewriting the Magna Carta, and both guys agree the logic is… let’s call it “creative.”

    • The 10‑Club Proposal (aka: No, Thank You)
    Next up: the Brits again, suggesting golfers should be limited to ten clubs. John wonders why anyone needs a rule to do what they could already do voluntarily, and Jeff admits he played months without an 8‑iron and barely noticed. The conclusion? If you want to carry ten clubs, great — but don’t make it a rule for everyone else.

    • Golf Ball Markings & Putter Alignment Rules
    The guys dig into proposed restrictions on ball markings and alignment aids. Jeff questions whether these rules would apply to manufacturer‑printed graphics or just hand‑drawn lines. John wonders who exactly is being protected by making putting harder. The consensus: these changes feel like solutions in search of a problem.

    • Out‑of‑Bounds Rule Update
    Jeff explains the new O.B. option: instead of the dreaded walk of shame back to the tee, players can now drop two club lengths inside the boundary with a two‑stroke penalty. It speeds up play and encourages people to actually follow the rule — which is good, because most golfers were already “creatively interpreting” stroke‑and‑distance anyway.

    • Penalties, Scorecards, and Golf’s Integrity
    The episode wraps with a chat about penalty fairness and the tradition of signing scorecards. Jeff argues penalties should match the severity of the mistake, and both guys agree that signing a card is still one of the last bastions of honesty in competitive golf.

  • Why Hockey Players Keep Beating Us at Golf
    Sep 27 2026

    Jeff and John got rolling on all things golf, bouncing from putting to fairways to the little tweaks that actually shave strokes. Jeff went deep on the putting side — talking eye dominance, why speed control is king, and why three‑putting is basically donating strokes to the golf gods. They even wandered into the wild world of side‑saddle putting, mostly to remind everyone why almost nobody sticks with it.

    From there, they hit on full‑swing strategy: knowing your real distances (not the ones you brag about), picking the right club for the lie, and respecting wind like it’s a living, breathing opponent. And of course, they had to mention how hockey players keep showing up and embarrassing everyone with their natural golf swings.

    Jeff sprinkled in wisdom from his golf schools, hammering home the basics — hit more fairways, control your speed on the greens, and stop pretending your 7‑iron goes 185.

    Naturally, the guys drifted into some classic off‑course chatter too: food delivery disasters, sports announcers who drive them nuts, and a little college sports talk for good measure.

    And yes, John wrapped things up with a nod to FanDuel, reminding listeners to fire up the app if they’re feeling lucky.

    Jeff and John dive into a full round of golf talk — from putting fundamentals to fairway strategy and everything in between. Jeff breaks down why speed control is the real secret to better putting, how eye dominance affects alignment, and why most golfers should stay far, far away from side‑saddle putting.

    They get into the nuts and bolts of scoring better: hit more fairways, know your actual club distances, and factor in wind, lie, and slope instead of pretending they don’t exist. The guys also have fun with the ongoing trend of hockey players dominating golf, thanks to their balance, rotation, and hand‑eye skills.

    Jeff pulls from his golf schools to highlight the biggest amateur mistakes — three‑putting, bad club selection, and fantasy‑land yardages.

    Off the course, the conversation drifts into food delivery mishaps, sports announcers who make them crazy, and a little college sports banter.

    Presented by FanDuel, with John reminding listeners to fire up the app and get in the game.
