Summary

Andy and Brendan get one more unexpected recording together in the Swamp before departing for the week. They offer a few reactions from their time down in Florida, which included a pass by of the famed Abacoa. They transition to a Swamp denizen who is playing on the Euro Tour this week and may set a new record for the “the spread” in a no-cut Dubai event. Then they get to the many shake-ups at the executive level in pro golf, with Marty Sleeps leaving the R&A and Keith/Scott Pelley leaving the European Tour. This leads to great amusement over Pelley’s replacement being just a Guy, literally, capitalized. Do the changes have anything to do with a reshuffling of the world order in golf? They also discuss another tamer Phil interview in which he said multiple times he is too “divisive” to be a Ryder Cup captain, right now at least. They close with a round of SGS Golf advice questions on your clubs going over the cliff at Cabot Cliffs, if there’s PXG “type,” and what pampas grass in your yard might signal.
