Rockleigh RedLPGA PODCASTJust listened to this podcast, excellent is all I can say. A full hour dedicated to the LPGA with thoughtful and insightful critique of the ladies tour.

The LHGGreat Episode-Nebraska SandhillsAndy and Matt, you hit it out of the park on the Nebraska Sandhills episode. Super great information about the area, all the courses and recommendations for where to play. The suggested itinerary through the area from east or west was very helpful as I drive through Nebraska every April on my way to Boston. Thank you. Great episode! PS I agree with you completely about Wildhorse. Played there 3 years ago…one of my most enjoyable rounds ever.

Wes22444488888888Connecting to nature through golf.The most studious of all golf architecture discussions has brought me back to the game I loved after a 25 year absence. Insights from all of those in love with the game, pushing the dirt, growing the grass, walking the land, and swinging the sticks.
-
unh@ppy cust0mer 42More narrative content please!Garrett (and sometimes Andy) does incredible work on the scripted episodes and the interview episodes. The talk-show style episodes are often a bit unfocused and overly long. Overall, a fantastic place to get deep insight into both current events and golf history that you won’t find in the typical golf press.

Card Golf Tour3 Best Things About TFE Podcast1. Timely topics discussed…for example, recent podcast ranking each hole at Augusta was a great way to get ready for the Masters. Consistently good golf course design topics I love the most. 2. Great interviews - example, great interview with David Cannon on golf photography, learned a lot, like how photography is more difficult today since players wear hats vs 40 years ago. 3. In and Out segment within podcast is a great way to keep up to date on current golf (and sometimes non golf) topics.

GoHattersGreat showGreat show

Marty MMBGood stuffGood

Blaker97EssentialAndy and team are as good as it gets for the informed golf lovers out there. Humorous, smart, and witty. Garrett has taken the lead lately and he is wonderful at what brings to the pod. No filler or bros here - this is the best of new golf media.
-
FratmonsterToo Much Joseph LamagnaWhy is Joseph on the show so frequently? He has no personality, is not entertaining or funny in the slightest, and nothing he says is nearly as insightful as he thinks it is. Why is he given this platform on the podcast? Andy, I feel like you’re diluting your own brand by having him on the show so frequently. Everything he says is very smarmy, and is said with the air that he thinks he’s smarter than everyone else, all while delivering fairly obvious points. Why not give Will Knights a chance on the pod? I just don’t think Joseph is the answer. Long time listener, because of Andy, but really not enthused about the direction of the pod with Joseph on.
-
Jason ZackGreat stuffLove the show despite you still not doing an episode about the Fried Egg lie or how to get out of it. Still waiting!

Princeton PetrusKissing Rahm a buttRahm sold out. Stop kissing his butt
-
Vepr_157Good Stuff!I’ve learned a lot from this podcast. Love the ones with Garrett, especially the recent Paul Runyan and Sunningdale episodes.
-
pjallen11only kind of a golf podcastIf you like long drawn discussions of the NFL, interminable ad reads, and the most over sensitive and whiny defenses of the city of Chicago (think Mike Wilbon but with a more high pitched voice), then you’ll love this podcast. Sadly, when they actually talk golf it’s really good.
-
shamrockexpWonderful and thoughtfulReally great contribution to the discussion of golf course architecture
-
Perry “Diddy” R.National Golf Links of America, C.B. Macdonald's Big SwingHands down, best show I’ve listened to. How C. B. Macdonald “found” Seth Raynor and the mutual respect these polar opposites developed, was a story within the story. Garrett’s insightful questioning is revealed again, when he asks the author a question he hadn’t considered in the five years spent researching and writing the NGLA history. Keep the great questions and content coming.
-
skastingDoing ads for USGASeems like a compromised company. Not a lot of honest arguments regarding technology or course setup.
-
Ryanw83Nauseating voiceAn annoying voice on top of a know it all. 🤮
-
ShimmedA Mouthpiece for Powerful PeopleIf you’re a Boomer who watches the evening news on CBS, ABC or NBC, this podcast for you. A guy named Garrett & an effeminate male named Andy tell you what the wealthy people pulling the levers at the PGA Tour want you to think about golf.
-
jbaranekCore Golf Content for Every GolferThis podcast fills me with all the golf knowledge I could ever want. It brings me so much thought provoking content related to the world of golf course architecture and the growing interests of construction, agronomy, psychology, and landscape. They bring a tasteful nerdy-ness and walk it through to enlighten and excite your average to scratch golfer. They speak with the most influential people in the business and highly recommend any Yolk with Doak. Enjoy!
-
John CouplandSome FeedbackAndy, Brendan and your whole crew…..you do a great job, I am hooked. The Bruce Hepner interview was really insightful and in a long-line of great material. I am sorry I didn’t compliment you guys sooner, you entertain me weekly. John
-
Big papi david ortizI was your fourthGuys that was just fun. Three guys sitting around talking about their top Five things in golf for 2023. I felt like I was your fourth, like I was there with you, good detailed analysis mixed in with lots of humor, Thanks and great job
-
JshdnemskdjdIn the line upThe show has been pretty interesting and has made it into the official lineup for podcasts I’ll check for new episodes. There is some interesting discourse on course layouts and tournaments which I enjoy.
-
Matty MudflapGood content but…I just simply cannot listen to Andy’s voice. It makes me very sad because I love the content. Keep it up boys
-

zzucouGolf SickosThis is the go-to golf pod along with Shotgun Start!
-
michael_three_sticksThe game of golfThis is a great pod. They hit on a range of topics that span the sport of golf. I really enjoy the architecture dives. It’s thoughtfully created and worth the investment if you enjoy the game.
-
BardenBerryExcellentExcellent well-researched Golf podcast with emphasis on architecture. Highly recommend.
-
Jay HolimanSo insightful!As a busy father of four (ages 5-12), I am currently renewing my passion for golf now that I can take the kids out to play. Love the Pod, from course discussions, current events, yoke w Doak, and especially the Superintendent Series. I worked on the grounds crew at Old Waverly in West Point MS during the 99 US Women’s open. Hearing the insights from the vertebrae of the golf world is delightful. Especially since these are some of the most colorful characters in the golf world!

kevincavThe best podcast if you’re interested in golf coursesNothing better

Once a caddie always a caddieBest in businessIf I could only listen to one podcast, this is the one

ZACHISGODInteresting Information and brilliantly producedBy far the best golf podcast for architecture, history, deep dives, and insight into recreational and professional golf. Never a bad episode.
-
nvgolfer80Love the showI am a huge fan. I love the stuff you guys do. I just wish I could understand why “golf course” guys 1. Hate trees. 2. Have such a condescending tone when it comes to those that disagree with a ball roll back. Other than that! Keep up the awesome work..
-
N BeachThe MastersGreat work! Insightful and detailed analysis that is invaluable. Thanks for your terrific podcasts. N Beach
-
MD58!One of your bestExceptional stuff on the Masters wrap pod! I was riveted listening to the stories shared by Andy & Garrett on their personal journeys into golf journalism and the Masters impact on fostering their love of the game and how their recent experiences stirred that nostalgia. Definitely got me reminiscing about the Masters of my youth. Some of your best work, gents!
-
49JMHartfordEntertaining and EducationalEach episode is entertaining and also quite educational on golf course design. It brings new appreciation to the sport.

Philip TurturroFried eggMy go to pod and has been for years.
-
jordantnewhofLoved the new format!It’s always a great day when I get to listen to Brendan so I appreciated hearing him on this side of the aisle. The first segment on Scottie was great, but I loved how it was a little bit of everything. Well done and I vote to keep the format 👍
-
Pethor!Enjoy golf moreThis golf podcast has given me a greater appreciation for golf than any other media I’ve consumed. So much to learn here, all the different hosts bring something special.
-
sbrittonturfBestThe best, most consistent golf podcast on iTunes.

A Satisfied Customer 666Grow the Game for YourselfI don’t want to call The Fried Egg an acquired taste because of the negative connotation associated with that term, but it did take me a while to get it. As a newer golfer, I didn't understand the point of architecture and how it separates good from great golf courses, but Garrett and Andy do a great job of explaining the why behind golf architecture and make it interesting. Their conversations with guests are intriguing and have helped to give more meaning to golf for me.
-
GolfLuvR949Great golf podThey do “go deep” on golf. Great deep cuts on golf.
-
stewmakerBest golf podcast for people who love golfIf you love golf (the history, architecture, design, management, turf) this is best podcast you can listen to. Andy does a phenomenal job taking to superintendents and architects.
-
Joe FreemarkBest Golf PodcastSuch an enjoyable podcast. Highly recommend.

Tom FazioBest discussions on golf course architecture I’ve foundGreat stuff.

Fun34215Great PodcastConsistently great content covering all angles of the golf industry. Thoughtful, insightful, and in-depth pieces that have helped grow my understanding and enjoyment of the game. Highly recommend to any player that wants to enjoy the sport more.
