Welcome to the Clubhouse with Shane Bacon. I am your host, Shane Bacon, and it appears that

golf is back, at least that's what people are telling me. Of course, we got Torrey Pines this week

in the waste management, then we got Riviera. So it's kind of back-to-back-to-back fun, exciting

events. And since Tori is here, I figured

who better to talk to than Jeff Shackleford. Of course, the guy that lives in California spends a lot

of time on that coast around those golf courses, knows every blade of grass that's moved year to

year. And so had him on for a lengthy chat. I mean, we touched on Kepka versus Rory and Tiger Woods and the return and the golf course and the changes as we get set for the U.S. Open there next year at Torrey Pines.

What kind of player might have some success this week, considering the distance changes how 17's been moved some of the other holes there at Torrey South.

And a lot more.

It was a great discussion, fun discussion.

Always love having Jeff Shackford on you're going to hear some background noise to start that's zander Shafley's press conference in the background this is what happens when you have guys

on the grounds in the media center talking about the event that week so you hear a little bit of

zander in the background Shaq was great he muted his at times. But that's what you're going to hear.

It shouldn't affect the podcast at all. Honestly, I barely heard it as I was talking to him with my

cans on. So hopefully it's not an issue. But I think you'll enjoy the conversation because

Shaq's always great to have on. Stay till the end because we have a discussion about mixed events, changing possibly what the Olympics look like, especially if Tiger Woods isn't involved.

I know we're a long ways away from the Olympics and there's a lot more golf to talk about.

But we just ventured into that world for a moment. And I just thought we had a long ways away from the Olympics and there's a lot more golf to talk about, but we just ventured into that world for a moment and I just thought we had a fun conversation

about some changes that could make certain events better and how much fun team events are

every single time we have them. And how much fun team events are for us, for the average

golfer, for the regular golfer,

that gets a chance to go out and play with a buddy, or a member at a club that they get paired with,
