Summary

Following "The Vintage" at Brambles, Andy Johnson sits down with former Stanford golfer Henry Shimp to discuss playing a modern course with 20-year-old (or older!) clubs. Andy and Henry talk about how the change in equipment impacted match play strategy and break down Henry's first time using these types of clubs. Henry then shares three of his hottest takes with Andy, turning the conversation to the future of golf course architecture, Stephen Curry's golf career, and the 2027 Ryder Cup captaincy.
