Summary

It's a classic discussion: who is the greatest golfer of all time? In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg take their cracks at this topic, and not only the greatest ever, but also the criteria to just the great golfers a bit further down the list. How can we compare eras? How much different is golf as a sport on this side of Tiger? And where would Greg rank himself?

After that set up, maybe we shouldn't do this episode because we're literally just about

0:26.7

to do that question ourselves.

0:30.3

I set it up by saying it's the stupidest question of all time and we're just about to try
