Hey there golf fans and welcome to another episode of the Holy Duffer Podcast!

In today's show, we dive deep into the state of professional golf, particularly the stark contrasts between the PGA Tour and the LPGA. Mark and I share our frustrations with the way the PGA seems to be disrespecting its audience, missing opportunities to create a more compelling and entertaining product.

On the flip side, we highlight the immense potential and appeal of the LPGA. From rising stars like Nellie Korda and Charley Hull to the impressive skill and relatable personalities throughout the women's game, there's so much to love. We'll argue the LPGA deserves far more promotion, investment and TV coverage than it currently receives.

We've also got some fun personal golf stories to share, including a recent round at San Dimas that featured an unpleasant playing partner and a dangerous errant ball incident.

So grab your favorite beverage, tune in, and let's hit the links together!
