Mud, Rain & Bad Decisions: A Golf Survival Guide

About this episode

John and Jeff discuss the new USGA golf ball changes and their implications for everyday golfers.

John’s in the studio, Jeff’s broadcasting from some high‑altitude golf paradise (again), and together they dive into another round of golf talk that’s equal parts smart, funny, and “why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner?” USGA Ball Drama & Industry Shake‑Ups The guys kick things off with the new USGA golf ball changes — the ones supposedly designed to “protect the game,” but mostly just annoy the people who hit it the farthest. John and Jeff break down what it really means for everyday golfers (spoiler: not much) and why the pros might need a support group.
