Summary

NOTE: If you initially hear last week's episode with Brendan Porath and Sean Martin, delete that episode and re-download. We made an uploading mistake. Sorry about that! At the top of our Tuesday show, Joseph LaMagna (@JosephLaMagna) calms Garrett's fears about the state of Jordan Spieth's game. They then talk about the PGA Tour's WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, which will no longer exist after this year (4:59). They review Austin Country Club, the excellent venue for the tournament, and run through the various (frustrating) reasons that the Match Play fizzled out. For the next segment, Garrett brings on Dean Snell, the founder of Snell Golf as well as one of the engineering minds behind the Titleist Professional and ProV1 golf balls, to discuss the governing bodies' new Model Local Rule from an equipment-industry perspective (29:45). Dean is, to say the least, not pro-rollback. Finally, Joseph and Garrett give their storylines to track in the golf world this week (1:09:52).

0:40.0	as I am right now?
0:42.0	What is your cause for concern?
0:44.0	Look, you know, I don't ask for much. I'm a big speed fan. But when he has an opportunity
0:53.0	to win a tournament against Adam Schenk and Taylor Moore. And he bogies two of the last
1:00.0	three holes. And he spends the entire round not being able to hit a fairway.
1:05.0	I just, I start to get a little frustrated. I start to feel like, you know, all the speed
1:09.5	haters out there, including some in our own company, that they're, that they're starting
1:14.3	to get the upper hand in the argument. And, and I just want a little more from Jordan.
1:19.5	Can you give me some hope? Is he actually turning around this season or, or is it just
1:24.3	going to be a big tease like it has been for the past four or five years?
1:29.2	Did you want him to not get into contention? Would that have been better? I mean, I'm obviously
1:33.2	being a little, a little unfair by making that comment. But, you know, I think Jordan
1:38.2	Speeth had obviously a pretty fascinating career. I don't know where the hype is right
