About this episode

The hosts return after a break to discuss recent golf events and share personal stories.

This week’s episode of Chasin’ Birdies features just us two. After another unfortunate month break, we’re back in the saddle delivering a fresh episode with up-to-date material. A lot has happened in the golf world since our last drop. In fact, this is the first episode where Pepe has been a true 40-year-old. We rehash the Rory win at Augusta and get into some talk surrounding that. We turn ahead to more recent events that touch on the state of the PGA Tour and how it’s shaping up headed into the second major of the year. Pepe naturally has to fill us in about his recent adventure to Pine Valley. We get to hear about his time there and the little caddie dispute that happens on the course. We jump over to some talk with Bash playing at an event at Troubadour and the two-day pairings he had…a two-time major champ and former Ryder Cup member. This bit of the show will keep your ears peeled! Tune in and check this episode out. Light, funny, and lowkey banter that sets us up for our return with a new guest in the near future.
