John, Jeff, and Long Island legend James Hong break down the best places to play golf — from Florida’s course‑packed sprawl to Japan’s surprisingly massive golf scene. They swap stories from Bethpage, hidden South Carolina gems, and Costa Rica’s Iguana Course, then dish out real‑world tips for planning a golf trip without getting burned by sketchy tee‑time sites. Fast, funny, and full of “I want to play there” moments.
