Summary

Andy and Brendan bring in the month of October with this meandering episode on a wide array of pro golf and non-golf topics. They begin with a debate about pumpkin patches. Then they get to the news that PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Saudi PIF’s Yasir Al-Rumayyan are playing together in the Dunhill this week alongside their pro partners, Billy Boy and Mean Dean. This leads to a lengthy digression on the ability to get a deal done on the golf course, as well as an exploration on some of the many other amateur/celebrity names in the field. Then they get to some minutiae on the Furyk and Friends Champions Tour weekend. The Sanderson marks the return of Cutthroat Corner, as well as a chat on Monday Q’s report about the reduction of fields and cards memo that was sent out. They close with a discussion on the KFT Championship at French Lick, who is in, who is out, and where cards are on the line and some argue it is the purest moment in sports. As they try to leave, Brendan pans the notion of a 5-part documentary series on the Ballfrogs.
