Summary

This Wednesday episode goes long on the U.S. Women’s Open but begins with the in-progress NCAA finals, which will pit Oklahoma vs. Pepperdine on Wednesday night. There’s plenty of chatter on the Burly Boys and the age of Quade Cummins, and puzzlement over Grayhawk getting to host for three years. Then it’s on to the major championship for the week, the U.S. Women’s Open at Olympic. Andy relays some intel from the grounds after being out in San Francisco this week. They discuss some comments from one veteran that this could be the hardest Women’s Open setup ever and that the young kids who can’t work the ball both ways may be in trouble. They propose their “best case scenarios” and also run through a few of their favorite tee times. On the PGA Tour, they react to Jack Nicklaus’ comments on the dramatic changes made to Muirfield Village, as well as the tinkering he’s already looking to do again. The close schedule for the week with the nightmare logistics problem has disrupted the Euro Tour.

0:00.0	Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of set up work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work, so I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here.
0:14.0	And here we go.
0:17.0	All right, all right, all right.
0:21.0	Gentlemen!
0:24.0	Start your escape!
0:29.0	Greetings and welcome to a Wednesday edition of the shotgun start. It is June 2nd. Andy, how are we doing?
0:46.0	Brendan! I'm doing great. You know, I'm back in the dungeon. It's been a while since I've been down here recording. It's nice to be in the friendly confines here.
0:57.0	Friendly, menacing confines down there in the dungeon, dungeon crew, back at it, recording. How has everything? How's your travel?
1:07.0	It's great!
1:09.0	I'm at West Coast time now, so it's still pretty early, but yeah, it was a big trip. Lots of work was great swinging by Olympic club for a little while and checking in on the US women's open.
1:22.0	Yeah, it was a busy trip, but a good trip.
1:27.0	The calendar's flipped to June now. It's very exciting. It's going to be a sprint here.
1:32.0	It's technical. We're recording. Today is the first. I know you said us a second. I was thinking that the world's kind of coming together here.
1:42.0	So now you're taking bites of every apple. Every corner of the apple here. Every side of apples don't have corners, but I have to announce it on the first.
1:56.0	It's not recording on the first. There's so many options that that's going to happen. I can't believe this isn't going anywhere. This is a dumb discussion.
2:03.0	You're just trying to have it every which way. It's when we announce it. I can have it any way I want it.
2:10.0	I'm 50% of the podcast.
2:16.0	We have a loaded like three-week stretch here. It's wild. It's absolutely wild.
2:23.0	An absolute sprint. We have the US women's open. We have the NCAA championship ongoing right now.
2:30.0	Going to the men's finals, team finals, Wednesday evening. We have the memorial, an elevated status event on some tours with extra cash, extra exemptions.
2:41.0	Are there extra points that the elevated statuser knows? That's just a bridge too far. The points are too valuable to just tell them.
2:48.0	I don't think there's more points, which is as Joe the nine has pointed out. Maybe the most flawed aspect of the FedEx cup.
