Summary
It's week two of the FedEx Cup Playoffs and Andy and Brendan are ready for Denver! This episode starts with a celebration of fall temperatures in August before some back and forth about where folks in town for the DNC are playing golf in the Chicago area. After the debut of "Lobbyist Minute" concludes, the two discuss the not-so-great TV ratings from last week's playoff event at TPC Southwind and wonder why the PGA Tour's "most consequential" tournament happens in Memphis in the heat of August. The conversation then turns to the latest PGA Tour rules proposal, a reduction in full-field sizes and full-exempt status in an effort to complete cuts on Fridays, while also increasing signature event fields. This then leads Andy and Brendan into a preview of this week's BMW Championship at Castle Pines, where players will have to tackle the elevation in Colorado. Next, they preview the Event of the Year, the AIG Women's Open at St. Andrews, discussing the top storylines and which players to watch during coffee golf. The Schedule of the Week discussion wraps up with a look at this week's Danish DP World Tour event, the Ally Challenge on the Senior Tour, and the APGA Cisco Invitational. To finish things up, Andy and Brendan debate how much beer is considered a "year's supply" and share stories of over-purchasing for crowds at home.
