Summary
With Andy traveling, and Brendan scheduled to early Monday morning, this is a podcast recorded and completed on the run in some of the most dire circumstances in this podcast’s ramshackle history. A first attempt from the baggage claim in a swamp airport is scuttled and transferred to the rental car shuttle and eventually the rental car. Needless to say, they cover Chris Kirk’s win in Kapalua, Spieth’s final round of “bad breaks,” more low scores and 400-yard drives, and the Kevin Kisner experiment in the NBC booth. Then they get their hands on the itinerary for the much-maligned “rookie meeting” that had players flying to Honolulu on the eve of an event they could not get into, so they run through the full lineup of various sessions indoctrinating the rookies into the PGA Tour Way.
