Summary

Travel back from the Florida swamp pushed this episode to a Friday morning recording, but Brendan and Andy are still jazzed about PJ's interaction with "Sticks Boy", which was briefly immortalized by a Noah Kahan fan account on Instagram before being deleted due to colon jokes in the comments. Aside from TGL, there's outdoor golf being played across the globe this week, and the discussion starts with the latest from DLF, complete with some on-the-ground insights. Brendan and Andy are giddy about "The Battleship" making the cut and staying to play the weekend, where he'll be chasing 36-hole leader Joaquin Niemann. There is then some lengthy discussion about Pebble Beach, where Jay Monahan and other PGA Tour executives were spitballin' with the media in a private Wednesday session. A large part of this session reportedly focused on PGA Tour broadcast issues, with the executives saying that they want to show "more consequential shots" for viewers going forward. In on-course news, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry both celebrated a hole-in-one on Thursday, leading to plenty of soundboard usage from Andy. The LPGA's Tournament of Champions is also ongoing in Orlando, and Andy and Brendan look at the list of celebrities playing in the pro-am and decide who should earn a promotion to Pebble Beach next year. Is former NBA swingman Courtney Lee really a celebrity? This is discussed at length! To wrap things up, an emailer writes in with a story about a fraudulent assistant club pro for this week's SGS Golf Advice.
