Today on Shackhouse, we kick around the BMW Championship, the Rider Cup, Tigers possible

return to golf and we talk with special guest Dan Hicks of NBC Sports.

But as always, Shackhouse is presented by Callaway Golf, makers of the number one iron in golf.

Callaway recently launched two new irons, the steelhead irons with that great signature shape and big distance,

and the super forgiving Big Bertha, OS Irons. Go to Callaway Golf.com now and check out the iron fitting tool to see

which set is right for you. Let's go to the shack house.

All right, another great week on the PJ tour and we are here in the shack house and house. I know have playoff fever you're you're recovering frankly

from the exhaustion of it all aren't you?

I have a fever and I'm recovering it may not have anything to do with playoff golf. There was some football on yesterday, but I am quite thrilled with what the golf is showing us as we round into form as we approach this rider cup moment two weeks away.

Some captain's picks were announced today, so I'm excited to talk about that.

All right, yeah, and we will.

And I just, it's a tough one because you don't want to be rude it was a

BMW was a good event at crooked stick they did a beautiful job that big crowds on the

weekend Dustin Johnson played beautifully.

Paul Casey keeps reminding everybody of what a loss he'll be to not have on the European

Squad, which I enjoy the, I can only imagine what's being said over in Europe about that but that you know

they should have handled things a little better with him and plus he just I don't

think he's that into it anymore but but it is kind of unfortunate this this event which used to be the Western Open and a great event for the Evans Scholars and

It's kind of moving around and then in a year like this it gets a little bit overshadowed by the

Rider Cup talk but it just it's really nothing against the event it just

speaks to the what the writer cup has become and what it means to people and I think

really house more than anything what's so fascinating about the rider cup
