We'll also touch on hot topics, like the etiquette of COVID golfers and the nuances of slow play, promising a blend of entertainment and education for all golf lovers.

EPISODE 194

Wow, this was a fun episode. If you have ever listened to the Birdies & Bourbon Podcast, then you know how entertaining Cal is. It was a blast having him on this week's episode, and we're pretty confident you will like this one.

BANDON

We had Cal on to talk about his trip to Bandon Dunes last week. It was his first time being on the property, and Joe and Matt have become huge fans of hearing about the experiences of first-time players.

Cal didn't hold back! And, with his stories, he has convinced Jeremy 100% to agree to go on our 2024 trip that is in the works!

Thanks for tuning in; we hope you make it to the end, it's a long one but so good, and we can almost guarantee you'll be adding his show to your listening library!

Episode 193

Well, there isn't exactly a LOT to talk about this week. The holiday season is upon us, and not many people have "listening to a golf podcast" on their to-do lists.

We were looking forward to talking about Tiger Woods playing at the HERO World Challenge, but after his WD Monday morning, eh, the buzz just disappeared. 

But we did chat about some local golf out at Pauite, Boulder Creek, and Wildhorse. 

Joe might get out to Mesquite this weekend and knock Falcon Ridge off his need-to-play list. While Matt and Jeremy are hoping for a Saturday round, pending some astronomical golf rates.

We eventually got to the odds for the HERO and made our picks for our year-long points race. And then wrapped up the show with some binge-worthy TV since Jeremy has been on lockdown with COVID,

Episode 191

A lot was going on in this week's show!

The guys covered Matt's update to his 2022 goals and discussed whether Joe and Jeremy set any goals for their game. Joe and Jeremy also might head out to Nellis and play in a golf tourney there this weekend.

Covid Golfer Interview

Matt reached out on IG looking for someone to interview for the show, and we quickly found someone. You guys are fantastic!

Christian, from Las Vegas, is new to the game and joined Matt for a quick 15min interview about how he got into the game. It was a good interview, and we all loved hearing his perspective. Look for more of these quick-type interviews in the future!

Pat vs. Phil

The guys share their takes on the latest to come out of LIV Golf involving Pat Perez and Phil.

Episode 190

MATT WINS!

It took almost three years, but Matt finally got a win at Revere Golf Club at the VGN Finals! He shot a 75 for a net 65 to grab the tourney title!

We talked about the tournament, how this season went, and how much we're looking forward to the 2023 season for the Vegas Golf Network.

Congrats to the other winners as well. Glenn Hogle for winning the gross division, and a big congratulations to Daniel Hodges (gross) and Sean Wood (net) for winning The Player of the Year in their divisions.

Calm down, all you IG Haters.

After Matt posted a video about his SIM2 driver being "BAD," he got a lot of comments from what one person described as a "Covid Golfer." So Matt set the record straight about the SIM2, the Stealth+, and what led to his victory over the weekend.

Bandon, what are you doing?

Even Bandon Dunes can't hide from the increase in golf these days. Joe and I were bummed to find out the 2024 Solstice event jumped up $500 in price. While it's still a good value for the event, at $1500, it was a great value. Now, it's just a good one. With the Christmas season looming, and Joe's new little one on the way, the guys decided to skip  the 2023 Solstice and are planning to return in 2024

Shout out to Seamus Power and Taylor Montgomery

Two Vegas locals are making some waves on the PGA Tour this season. Taylor Montgomery secured another Top 10 this past week in Mexico and has already made $1.3million on tour this season.

Seamus Power is also having a great year. After his win in Bermuda and another solid showing in Mexico, the Vegas Irishman is now leading the FedEx Cup! 

Some other chatter from this week's show
• Zack Blair's Tree Farm looks impressive, but it Private
• The Match is back, and this one is going to be amazing
• The UST Mamiya ALL IN Putter shaft is an upgrade option on the new Cleveland Putters 

We wrapped up the show with our picks for the Houston Tourney.

Episode 189

Right out the gate, if you're not listening to Birdies and Bourbon, you're missing out! Joe was a guest on their podcast this week (episode goes out 11/3), and we're big fans of what they are up to!

Congrats to the Big Man Seamus Power on his win in Bermuda! Jeremy is also very thankful because he picked Seamus, which ended his winless streak dating back to the 2020-2021 season.

Our favorite courses in Vegas are getting destroyed by grasshoppers. Matt was out at Paiute on Friday, and the hopper was pretty bad, but the Sun course looked untouched by the beasts. Jeremy, however, played the Snow course on Tuesday, and from the pictures he shared, the course is getting annihilated.   

We tried to pick the most underrated holes in Vegas, which sent us down a rabbit hole. So now we're going to figure out the most underrated holes in Vegas and the best starting hole in town as well. Off the top of our heads didn't work!

We talked a little about Bandon Dunes since the Birdies and Bourbon guys are headed there later this month, and Whisky Joe has another golf trip planned! He's
headed to North Carolina in January with Trey, Dan, and Julien 

We wrapped up the show with the odd for this week's PGA Tour event in Mexico and gave some love to the brands who've been supporting us!

Episode 188

It's kind of a slow season n the golfing world for us, even though October weather is the best time of the year to play golf in Vegas. Jeremy let us know that he's been on a break from the game but is eager to get back out there.

Rory is again the Worlds best Golfer, even with some top players who have left.
We had a Baby #2 Name Update for Joe and Katies future LPGA Star.
Some interesting news was put out by The Shriners Open on Monday.
TRUE Linkswear is getting into the Pants game!

If you've been on Instagram for a while and follow golf at all then you're familiar with idaleeeo. I've had the pleasure of hanging out with Orlando and even playing some golf. I can tell you he's even funnier in person and a blast to hang with. He had a SCARY situation happen to him this past weekend where he could have died! It's a crazy story and even better watching him tell it. Go check out his Instagram if you're not following him. We're glad your ok bro!!

Mr. Bald is Beautiful on IG

Matt is at it again with the driver. This time going for a new head. A PING G425 LST to be exact and the guys chatted about the pending change and what they think will happen.

Before we got into the odds for the Bermuda event, we discussed if Jonah Hill can pull off playing John Daly in a movie.
