Episode 164: Golf Equipment Time Machine & PGA TOUR's Toughest Tests
About this episode
The episode explores nostalgic golf equipment and discusses the toughest courses on the PGA TOUR.
Dust off the headcovers and tighten your chin straps—this week, we’re traveling from the bargain bin to the "Bear Trap." Following a nostalgic visit to an old-school golf shop, Jeff and Scott take a trip down memory lane to discuss the "Golden Era" of golf equipment. From the legendary PING Eye2s and Ben Hogan Persimmons to the "duds" and defunct brands like Nickent and Founders Club, we discuss the golf clubs that have left a lasting impression on us. Then, we shift from the gear to the grounds. Inspired by the grueling conditions at the Valspar Invitational, we break down the most difficult courses on the PGA TOUR. Why do the world’s best struggle at Bay Hill? What makes TPC Sawgrass so memorable? We explore the "Green Miles," "Snake Pits," and "Bear Traps" that turn pro golfers into mere mortals.
