Summary
It’s Friday! Andy and Brendan are disgruntled and full of zip for this episode taking us into the weekend. They begin with some early reactions to the Solheim Cup, which started with the Europeans and some American second-guessing going up in flames. They delight in the disaster of a venue, some underwhelming early showings, one alt-shot duo going out in 45, and the Americans showing strength. News hits on the Ryder Cup press conference schedule apparently telegraphing the pairing plan for next week. Then they hit on Michael Block’s most recent win and the PGA Tour exemption it triggers for next year. Golf Advice hits on a lunatic scramble host chirping you, a player walking out of the woods to play in front of you, and how not to be an obnoxious fan rooting for the away team at the Ryder Cup. Lastly, Andy rants about a seemingly unprecedented Bears mess just two weeks into the season.
