Summary

Andy and Brendan are living in the future, pre-recording this holiday Golf Advice extravaganza. They discuss their thoughts on parades ahead of the 4th of July and get an early start on the patriotic celebrations by sharing the news of Gary Woodland's appointment as an assistant captain for Team USA this fall. After that brief detour into actual golf news, Andy, Brendan, and PJ read through a bunch of listener-submitted questions about player rankings, TPC housing developments, "Brian" Griffin and "Adam" Novak, and more.
