The Smylie Show golf trip review train keeps rolling! This week we add a new stop - Ireland - and two special guests in Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth to recap an unforgettable spin around the greater Dublin area with Smylie Kaufman.

We begin with Charlie Hulme joining Smylie for a full deep dive on rounds at The European Club, The Island Golf Club, Portmarnock Golf Club, and County Louth Golf Club. Justin joins next to ask some hard - but fair! - questions about Jordan being off his scorecard keeping game (and delivers an all-time Wear SPF read - use code SMYLIE50 at wearspf.com right now!), followed by Jordan explaining his side of that story and crowning a Trip MVP. Finally, Charlie rejoins Smylie to make some One-and-Done(-ish) picks for the men's Olympic Golf competition at Le Golf National in Paris.

The conversation is filled with laughter and insights as they discuss the logistics of organizing a golf trip with PGA Tour players, the beauty of Irish golf courses, and the camaraderie that made the trip special. Plus, don't miss the hilarious moments of trying to navigate Irish ATMs and some unforgettable first tee shots!
