| 406: How Putter Grips Change Your Stroke | Garsen’s Jeff Walk | 04 nov. 2026 | 01:19:10 | |
Could your putter grip be affecting your setup, start line, and distance control? In Episode 406 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast, Jeff Walk from The Garsen Workshop joins us to explain why putter grip fitting deserves a place in your equipment decisions. We break down how grip shape, size, length, and weight can influence the way you hold and deliver the putter. Jeff walks us through Garsen’s MAX, Quad Tour, and Ultimate designs, shares his experience with traditional and left-hand-low putting, and explains why the right fit depends on your individual stroke. We also discuss changing grips on L.A.B. Golf putters, the considerations around grip weight and built-in shaft lean, and why putter fitting still has ground to make up on driver fitting. Jeff shares how a fitting helped him address his own launch conditions and persistent short putts. Plus: custom putter builds, grip textures, putting technology, and Wisconsin golf favorites, including Lawsonia Links and Sand Valley. What putter grip are you playing—and what would convince you to change it? Leave a comment and subscribe for more golf equipment conversations.

| 405: Is a $1,000 7-Wood INSANE? The Real Cost of Golf Club Fittings | 28 oct. 2026 | 01:13:12 | |
⛳ Is a $1,000 7-Wood Really Worth It? Welcome to Episode 405 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast! How much should golfers really spend on a custom club fitting? This week, Matt, Joe, Jeremy, and Dan dive into the rising cost of golf equipment, expensive aftermarket shafts, and the difference between getting properly fit and paying for upgrades you might not need. The conversation starts with a golfer who reportedly spent approximately $1,000 on a single Callaway 7-wood through Club Champion, including an upgraded shaft, PUREing, and additional build services. The guys discuss whether those upgrades deliver enough performance to justify the price and how everyday golfers can find better value. Matt also shares his ongoing iron shaft experiment, from lightweight graphite to Nippon steel shafts, and explains how changes in shaft weight, launch, and ball flight have affected his game. 🔥 ALSO ON THIS EPISODE:

| 404: Golf's Biggest Debates: LIV, Ball Rollback, Slow Play & Rising Costs | 21 oct. 2026 | 01:17:39 | |
Golf's biggest controversies are on the table, and nobody is holding back. In Episode 404 of The Chasing Daylight Podcast, Matt, Joe, Jeremy, and Dan tackle some of the most divisive issues in golf. From LIV Golf and the PGA Tour to rising green fees, the proposed golf ball rollback, slow play, and questionable equipment marketing, the guys share their opinions on where the game is headed. Did LIV Golf actually improve professional golf? Should recreational golfers be punished for the distance professionals hit the ball? Is a $200 public golf round ever justified? And are manufacturers selling meaningful equipment improvements or simply better marketing? We also debate sandbagging in amateur tournaments, whether golfers should play from tees that match their ability, and if recreational golf needs simpler rules. Later, we turn our attention to the upcoming Internet Invitational, its expanded 64-player field, and whether internet golf events are becoming more about views than competitive golf.

| 403: Golf's First Super Shoe? The ParLinx P-1 | 16 oct. 2026 | 01:00:05 | |
Golf's First Super Shoe? Inside ParLinx Performance What happens when a lifelong golfer and a former Nike footwear designer decide to rethink everything about golf shoes? On this special interview episode of The Chasing Daylight Podcast, Matt sits down with Brian Kelly and Peter Backus, the co-founders of ParLinx Performance, to explore their innovative P-1 golf shoe. Peter brings more than 30 years of footwear design experience, including work with Nike, Oakley, and The North Face. His career includes Nike running shoes, early Tiger Woods golf footwear, and the first Jordan golf shoe. Now, he's bringing that experience to ParLinx. The P-1 isn't designed to look or perform like a traditional golf shoe. Featuring a specially tuned carbon-fiber plate, a unique multi-layer spikeless traction system, and running-shoe-inspired cushioning, ParLinx believes it's created something entirely different. But does the technology actually deliver on the golf course? Matt has spent considerable time playing in the ParLinx P-1, and he shares his firsthand experience with comfort, stability, durability, and traction. In This Episode:
Whether you're a golfer who walks every round, a sneaker enthusiast, or someone looking for a different approach to golf footwear, this conversation is worth checking out.

What is it actually like to qualify for and compete in the U.S. Mid-Am? Trey Sanders joins the Chasing Daylight Podcast after earning his way into the USGA championship with a bogey-free 66 in qualifying. Trey takes us inside the entire experience—from arriving at Sand Valley and seeing his name on the USGA range for the first time to competing on championship setups at Sand Valley and The Lido. We get into the speed and firmness of the golf courses, the mental and physical grind of tournament golf, first-tee nerves, what separates elite amateur players, and why Trey believes more golfers should test their games in competition. The conversation also turns to one of amateur golf’s biggest debates: former professionals being reinstated as amateurs. Trey, a reinstated amateur himself, explains where he thinks the current system works—and where there may need to be a line. Plus, we talk Mammoth Dunes, Erin Hills, Sand Valley vs. Bandon Dunes, South Shore at Lake Las Vegas, our NASCAR pit experience, and the latest updates to the Chasing Daylight Podcast Community.

Matt shares why TPC Summerlin impressed him with firm fairways and fast greens, plus his mixed first impressions of Revere’s reopened Lexington course following its turf renovation. Back on the professional golf side, we discuss Medinah’s redesign and Bryson DeChambeau’s backyard challenge videos. We also cover Matt's near hole-in-one with a 7-wood, a Rose & Fire customer-service update, and the Vegas Golf Network’s final stretch. Most of all, this episode is about the community that helped us reach 400. We revisit the show’s beginnings, announce giveaway winners during the recording, and share plans for the next chapter of Chasing Daylight—from golfer profiles and course reports to questions for the hosts and future CDP events.

You can save your progress, return later, and mark courses you haven’t played. Then we get into the Wolf Creek debate, fall golf in Las Vegas, and why course conditions deserve more context than a comment-section takedown. Dormancy, irrigation, weather, and maintenance budgets all enter the conversation. Also on the show: San Diego golf and Torrey Pines pricing, discussion of possible PGA Tour changes, the final VGN major at Coyote Springs, and Matt’s enthusiasm for Callaway’s Mini Spinners.

| 397: Vegas Golf Just Got Easier - Course Conditions, Overseeding & Slow Play | 09 sept. 2026 | 01:17:51 | |
Planning a round of golf in Las Vegas just got a little easier. In Episode 397 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast, Matt unveils the new Vegas Golf Course Conditions hub on ChasingDaylightPodcast.com — a community-powered resource designed to give Las Vegas locals and traveling golfers current information before they book a tee time. Golfers can report greens, fairways, tee boxes, bunkers, pace of play, what they paid, cart restrictions, maintenance issues, overseeding, and more. Recent reports automatically move to the top so golfers can quickly see what a course is actually playing like right now. Then Matt unloads on one of golf's biggest problems: slow play. After brutal experiences at Rhodes Ranch and Boulder Creek, the guys debate ready golf, better marshaling, consequences for slow groups, and whether premium tee times should come with pace-of-play expectations. The conversation also gets into rising Las Vegas golf prices, possible cart and water fees, LIV Golf's Chapter 11 news, the Walker Cup, the Irish Open, future Walker Cup venues, and more. Plus, a shoutout to Harry Hall after another strong finish in Europe and an update on Chasing Daylight video episodes expanding beyond YouTube https://www.fullturngolf.com/ MORE CHASING DAYLIGHT Episodes, articles, golf content & the CDP Pro Shop: LISTEN TO THE PODCAST https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-chasing-daylight-podcast/id1464725572 SPONSORED BY GARSEN GOLF — Use code DAYLIGHT15 to save 15% SHOW SUPPORTERS Gretsch Golf Academy — https://gretschgolf.com/ FOLLOW CHASING DAYLIGHT Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/chasingdaylightpodcast/ MORE FROM THE CREW Joe's HittinGreens on Whatnot — https://www.whatnot.com/s/Cdk2Zpku FOLLOW THE CDP CREW Mathew Wangrycht - https://www.instagram.com/1440golf/ | |||

The Callaway and Good Good fallout continues — and this week things get even more interesting. On Episode 396 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast, Matt, Joe, Jeremy, and Dan dig into the latest developments surrounding Callaway and Good Good, including reported personnel changes, the reaction across golf social media, and whether the online outrage actually reflects what everyday golfers think. Matt also gives his perspective while making one thing very clear: he works for Callaway, but his opinions on the podcast are his own. Then there are the LIV Golf rumors. The guys react to speculation about financial trouble, bankruptcy, and the idea of players potentially being compensated with equity in a future version of LIV. Also on the show: Scottie Scheffler's win at East Lake and the Player of the Year debate, the latest Presidents Cup captain's picks, questionable MyGolfSpy wedge rankings, escalating Las Vegas golf prices, the current condition of Coyote Springs, and a look at the YouTube Golf Tournament episode filmed at Rams Hill. And, as usual, the live chat takes the show in a few directions nobody planned.

| 363: Golf Etiquette Rants: Loud Music, Lazy Bunker Players & Social Awareness | 29 janv. 2026 | 01:26:49 | |
On this episode of Chasing Daylight, the guys are back to break down a wild week in golf and weather. While the East Coast is buried under 38 inches of snow, the crew took advantage of the Vegas sun to play The Legacy Golf Club, leading to a heated discussion on course conditions and the infuriating laziness of golfers who refuse to rake bunkers. Matt opens up about getting "checked" by his daughter regarding his "old man" take on course music, sparking a broader conversation about social awareness and volume levels on the fairways. The guys also dive into gear, officially dubbing themselves the "Quantum Boys" as they share their hands-on thoughts with the new Callaway Ai Smoke Quantum driver and fairway woods. In professional golf news:

| 361: Brooks Returns to the PGA Tour, Golf Travel Buckets & Scotty Cameron Pilgrimages | 15 janv. 2026 | 01:14:28 | |
Dan is away getting his reggae on in Mexico, so the crew calls up a heavy hitter from the bullpen: Mike from Beautiful Golf Courses joins Matt, Joe, and Jeremy for a packed episode. The guys dive immediately into the biggest news in golf: Brooks Koepka is officially back on the PGA Tour. We break down the strategic timing, the specific parameters that allowed his return (and seemingly excluded Phil Mickelson), and what this means for Bryson DeChambeau, Cam Smith, and the future sustainability of LIV Golf. Later, the conversation shifts to "Experiential Golf." Mike and the guys discuss why difficult-to-reach courses like Landman, Dismal River, and Gamble Sands are worth the journey. We debate if the hype is real, the logistics of booking tee times, and why the "hang" is just as important as the golf. In this episode, we cover:

| 360: Paiute in the Fog, Callaway Chrome Tour & The "Joker" Revealed! | 08 janv. 2026 | 01:13:53 | |
Two truths can exist at once: golf is thriving, and some of its boldest experiments still can’t find the right stage. We start the year by proving why the local game matters most—new energy in the Vegas Golf Network, a private Facebook group where real debates live, and our fresh “Joker Low Net” format that rewards players who go low! We also welcomed Relic Body Arts as a sponsor and spun up live giveaways because community isn’t a slogan for us; it’s the point. Gear lovers get plenty to chew on. Callaway refreshed the Chrome Soft family and teased the Quantum driver, with materials and cover tech designed to add speed without sacrificing feel. We talk about where gains might come from, how fitters will test the claims, and why early-access fittings at private clubs can be a cheat code for smarter buying. Then we press into the TGL problem: elite players, clever tech, but buried time slots and an audience left guessing. Our fix is simple—put it on Golf Channel in prime hours, replay it smartly, and partner with OEMs to explain equipment choices in real time so the product tells a story the average golfer can follow. The heart of the show is a fog-drenched round at Paiute that reminded us why we play. With visibility down, we moved up a tee box, hit more short irons, tightened dispersion, and tied a personal best. It wasn’t about ego; it was about making the course fit the day and the body. That theme rolls straight into putting: a quick posture reset led to a shorter putter and a better stroke. If you can’t reach a studio, grab a roll-out mat, a mirror, and a yardstick to lock in start line and face control. For newer golfers, we lay out a sane gear path—shop quality used sets or get a fit, and if you’re slicing, buy one lesson and actually do the work. We finish by spotlighting the LPGA at Shadow Creek, a full-field event at a bucket-list course that most fans will never step on. That’s how you build intrigue the right way. The West Coast swing is loading—Sony, AmEx, Farmers, Phoenix, Pebble, Genesis—and we’ll be ready with takes, gear notes, and more community wins. If this mix of real-world golf, gear honesty, and smarter practice vibes with you, tap follow, share the show with a golf buddy, and drop a review. Your support helps us grow the community and bring you more fittings, giveaways, and deep-dive episodes all season long. | |||
| 359: From Dallas Fairways To Custom Putters: David Trett’s Journey | 02 janv. 2026 | 01:41:07 | |
A Starlink meltdown, two missing Terriliums, and the cleanest long-neck builds you’ve seen—this one is part comedy of errors, part masterclass in the art of putters. We sit down with David Trett of Jet Putters to trace his unlikely route from college basketball to Dallas golf, where resort events, caddie loops, and indoor fitting bays turned into a crash course on performance gear and player psychology. Along the way, he learned to restore and customize putters—and now he shares the process live, sanding down the secrecy that usually shrouds the craft. | |||
| 358: Brooks Koepka Leaves LIV, Our Wish Lists Grow, And Matt might get a New Knee | 24 déc. 2025 | 01:29:41 | |
Merry Christma-Kwanza-Kah! In this special holiday "spectacular," Matt, Dan, and Jeremy are joined by Joe (briefly!) and a surprise appearance by Greenley to talk through the latest chaos in the world of professional golf and some major personal news. The guys dive deep into the massive rumors surrounding Brooks Koepka potentially leaving LIV Golf, the financial hurdles of a $100 million sign-on bonus, and what it could mean for the PGA Tour. They also discuss the recent retirements of Mito Pereira and Henrik Stenson, questioning if the "generational wealth" of LIV is losing its luster compared to playing in front of real crowds. On a more personal note, Matt reveals the results of his MRI: it turns out he’s been playing with a "massive" Baker’s cyst and a knee that is officially "bone-to-bone." He shares the plan for a full knee replacement and his goal to be back on the course in under three months—hopefully with a "Japanese forged" bionic knee. Also in this episode:
