Summary

This Monday episode gets back to some SGS roots, with a quick and unprepared whip around the results from the weekend in the golf world. It really, actually is a short one. They begin with the Valspar, where Sam Burns broke through for what could be the first of many wins on the PGA Tour. The dump in the cup award is back, as is the second edition of Thirstbucket of the Week. Other topics hit on are Keegan scraping it and Tringale closing in on a career achievement. Dean Burmester is mentioned and the Tenerife event is given a poor grade. The back half is a ramble on the giant flag in the center of a fairway at the new Jack Nicklaus course, as well as the general costs of giant flags. News hits on Pine Valley changing its policy to admit women members, and a potential angle for such a move. Lastly, all SGS merch will be 20 percent off through Monday night.

0:00.0	Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of a lot of setup work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work, so I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here.

0:53.0	We're usually talking on or the day before or the day after the first.
0:59.0	It's rarely that the first comes right in that Saturday hole where we're so far apart from pods.
1:09.0	Yeah, that kind of great expanse between talking to each other that Saturday, that afternoon.
1:14.0	Great profound thoughts here to open up. I think it's indicative. I don't know.
1:18.0	Another slow weekend for me, at least on the PJ tour.
1:22.0	This is always a nightmare.
1:24.0	You didn't like the Keegan Bradley Samburn showdown?
1:28.0	I'm not going to hate on what happened. I just like this, the masters to what used to be US Open players, you could throw that in, would have been this week.
1:38.0	It's just always sort of like a detox. Always has been like, I'm ready for the PJ to get here.
1:44.0	I've not, this isn't a ban on any of the events, New Orleans, Harbor Town, anything like that.
1:49.0	But this is like maybe another sign that life slowly getting back to normal.
1:54.0	When these postmasters events kind of just don't do it for you. But PJ will be here soon enough.
2:00.0	We got a lot of stuff.
2:02.0	About by weeks, you know, how sometimes that might be good.
2:06.0	It might be good for the game of golf in general. It gives other tours. The spotlight, like, you know, maybe the senior tour gets a bump or corn fairy tour LPGA.
