    LPGA PODCAST
    Just 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.

    Great Episode-Nebraska Sandhills
    Andy 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.

    Connecting 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 42
    More 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.

    3 Best Things About TFE Podcast
    1. 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.

    Essential
    Andy 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.
  • Fratmonster
    Too Much Joseph Lamagna
    Why 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 Zack
    Great stuff
    Love the show despite you still not doing an episode about the Fried Egg lie or how to get out of it. Still waiting!

  • Vepr_157
    Good Stuff!
    I’ve learned a lot from this podcast. Love the ones with Garrett, especially the recent Paul Runyan and Sunningdale episodes.
  • pjallen11
    only kind of a golf podcast
    If 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.
  • shamrockexp
    Wonderful and thoughtful
    Really great contribution to the discussion of golf course architecture
  • Perry “Diddy” R.
    National Golf Links of America, C.B. Macdonald's Big Swing
    Hands 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.
  • skasting
    Doing ads for USGA
    Seems like a compromised company. Not a lot of honest arguments regarding technology or course setup.
  • Ryanw83
    Nauseating voice
    An annoying voice on top of a know it all. 🤮
  • Shimmed
    A Mouthpiece for Powerful People
    If 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.

    Core Golf Content for Every Golfer
    This 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 Coupland
    Some Feedback
    Andy, 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 ortiz
    I was your fourth
    Guys 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
  • Jshdnemskdjd
    In the line up
    The 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 Mudflap
    Good 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
  • Wethy1

    The game of golf
    This 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.
  • BardenBerry
    Excellent
    Excellent well-researched Golf podcast with emphasis on architecture. Highly recommend.
  • Jay Holiman
    So 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!

  • ZACHISGOD
    Interesting Information and brilliantly produced
    By far the best golf podcast for architecture, history, deep dives, and insight into recreational and professional golf. Never a bad episode.
  • nvgolfer80
    Love the show
    I 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 Beach
    The Masters
    Great work! Insightful and detailed analysis that is invaluable. Thanks for your terrific podcasts. N Beach
  • MD58!
    One of your best
    Exceptional 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!
  • 49JMHartford
    Entertaining and Educational
    Each episode is entertaining and also quite educational on golf course design. It brings new appreciation to the sport.

    My go to pod and has been for years.
  • jordantnewhof
    Loved 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 more
    This 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.

    Grow the Game for Yourself
    I 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.
  • GolfLuvR949
    Great golf pod
    They do “go deep” on golf. Great deep cuts on golf.
  • stewmaker
    Best golf podcast for people who love golf
    If 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.
