Welcome back to another edition of the Friday podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by our friends over at Smathers in Branson.

They are back, you know, they've been supporting the pod. These products are phenomenal.

They sent me a little care package. I already had some Smathers belts, but a

big revelations, they're hats, they're incredible. They have a performance hat, they have a regular hat, like a regular,

your regular cotton hat. I love this thing. They sent me the dancing bear, the grateful dead

logo, you know, the iconic dancing bear hat. It's like by a new favorite hat. I wear it all the time.

People are always asking me, dead head are asking me what my favorite album is, you know, and then,

you know, other people are like, where's that from? They think it's from like a course. It would be a sick

course logo. But anyways, Smathers in Branson, they got all kinds of gear on their website. They have

over 115 colleges and universities. MLB, NFL, NHL, they've got other bands, they've got

Jack Nicholas, Arnold Palmer gear, belts, you know, wallets, luggage tags. They have all kinds of

needle point goods. They're really classy, durable, like, you know, the belts I've had for a

couple of years are still in great shape. You can get 15% off your entire order plus free shipping

if you use the code fried egg. That's just one word, fried egg. This is great. Father's Day gifts,

you know, so if you know your wife's scrambling to look for something or you are scrambling to look

for your partner or your husband for something, get them some smathers gear at smathersandbranson.com.

That's smathersandbranson.com fried egg.

Today's episode is a good one. I think that's my opinion though. You can tell us if you like it

or not. But we have the great Michael Clayton, former European tour player, golf course architect,

golf course critic, golf course analyst, golf writer. I mean, this guy is a jack of all trades. One

of the best golf minds that we have in the world. Michael has not been on the pod in quite some time.

I think he was one of my first 15 episodes. And he has a bad back on, which is regrettable.
