Summary

Coffee Golf season has come again and Brendan and Andy are ready for this week's Scottish Open. Before diving into the co-sanctioned field, Brendan shares a story from a listener who cashed out big thanks to this gambling podcast's constant mentions of Brian Campbell ahead of the John Deere Classic. Andy and Brendan then discuss the Genesis Scottish Open and the catnip of players posting their rounds at North Berwick early in the week. Content Machine Dylan Frittelli has told the world his plans to putt with a mini driver and Bob MacIntyre has Andy riled up with some comments about his driver swing. Attention then turns to the ISCO Championship in Kentucky, where DPWT players such as Jakob Skov Olesen will find themselves playing alongside PGA Tour stalwarts like John Bradley Holmes. Andy declares the ISCO as his "Event of the Week" and asks everyone to join him in following this tournament as closely as possible. The two circle back on the yearly discussion of the Evian Championship and its status as a major on the LPGA circuit before PJ jumps in to run down the field of "celebrities" at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe. This segment touches on NFL legends like Jerry Rice, national weather anchors, and has three Gary Sheffield impressions baked in. The Champions Tour is in New York, but three-time defending champion Padraig Harrington will skip the Dick's Open for a tee time at the Scottish Open instead. Brendan wraps up the Schedule of the Week with some on-the-ground insight from the U.S. Adaptive Open, sharing the stories of some athletes competing in Maryland. In news, Collin Morikawa has a temporary new caddie and Brendan solicits an expert opinion on the interior design of Trout National.

Brendan, I'm doing well. How are you? I'm good. So, so abrupt there. I know.

0:54.3

I decided to change things off a little.

0:56.3

That's great.

0:57.4

You could always use a little change-up.

0:59.5

We have a big decision on our plate.

Speaking of change-up, we got a message after we recorded Tuesday, Sunday night,

after Brian Campbell, your boy, B. BC, Eli and I, Brian Campbell,
