    We return this week with a Front 9 that has a full slate of news from the Canadian golf scene, including amateur, college, club professional, adapted golf, and touring professional golf. We touch on job changes, strong finishes by Canadian juniors, and pros playing at various qualifying schools. We also share news on the World Long Drive Tour returning to Eastern Ontario for 2025. On the back nine we focus on putters and run through a list of what we think are some of the all-time putter designs. You'll recognize a lot them. We also give a nod to modern putters and speculate about which popular ones may eventually work their way on to the -All-Time Classic list.

    Episode 101: Fall Ball - Golf As The Season Changes
    Oct 10 2024
    After a week of break, we finally got to wrap up the Presidents Cup and talk about how the event went overall, what it was like being on the ground rather than watching on television, and our thoughts on the future of the event. We share some insight from the World Junior Golf Championships recently hosted in Mississauga, Ontario, wrap up some news from the OVGA, PGA of Ottawa, and Cornwall Sports Hall of Fame, and spotlight a new grip from True Temper. On the Back 9, we discuss Fall Golf, how it impacts golf performance, and what adjustments average players can make to play better and enjoy the game more in cooler, wetter conditions when the ground starts to get much softer.

    Episode 100: 100 Things For A Life’s Golf Bucket List
    Sep 26 2024
    It's a milestone show, and we thought we would do something fun to celebrate. Instead of a best of, or a highlight show from our 100 episodes, we take on a classic list from one of golf's most respected journalists, with a twist. On multiple occasions, George Peper of Golf Magazine produced a top 100 bucket list of golf events to fill your golf life with. We have modified it slightly to be more relevant to us as Canadians, and we run through the list to see where we stand with it while sharing a few related stories.

    Episode 99: The "Best" of YouTube/Social Media Golf Content
    Sep 19 2024
    Social media platforms provide a way for content creators to get their work seen, which is no different when it comes to golf. On this episode our big back 9 discussion is all about it. We mostly have a look at the "entertainment" type channels; who were are keeping an eye on, who we like to watch and why, and maybe even some hints on who could be emerging in this scene. On the front nine, we wrap up the Solheim Cup, discuss the latest events for the Ottawa Valley Golf Association and PGA of Ottawa, and talk about collegiate golf in Canada. That includes a recent NCAA D1 men's event in Canada and what we saw when we dropped out to a Canadian university golf tournament that included some of the best teams from Ontario and Quebec.
