    The ads are out of control
    I’ve been a listener for a long time but the number of, and length of advertisements on CBS sports podcasts are ridiculous.

    Podcast Question 9/7/2023
    Do you believe LIV Golf and the subsequent PGA merger were a direct result of the popularity golf gained for being the first back after the Covid shutdown? Or in all likelihood, would it have happened anyway?
  • HaroldRussell
    The Best Golf Podcast!
    Love the show, keep up the great work! Mailbag question: What’s in your bags?
  • SGfairwayfinder
    2 questions: McIlroy at the Masters/ Big leads
    1. Do you think that Rory Mclroy would have a better shot at winning the Masters if it was played later in the year? He seems to warm up by the last two majors of the year, and of course the FedEx cup. 2. Please explain why you think that guys that have big leads going into Sunday and win by a lot are boring/ not as exciting. I think the storylines become a lot clearer, and the pressure of a collapse becomes very real.

    Best Golf Podcast
    This is the most informative golf podcast I have found to date. I love the inclusion of advanced metrics and analytics. It has really helped me gain an understanding of how to truly measure the best players in the world. Not to mention it is very entertaining, and Patrick is low key hilarious. He works in some great movie/pop culture references.
  • MXRW28
    Love the Podcast
    Great job guys, I listen to every episode

    Suffocating ads
    I actually enjoy this podcast quite a bit and learn a great deal from Mark Immelmann's measured and nonjudgmental reviews. What mars the broadcasts, however, are series of repetitive ads, stuck in the most frustrating and interrupting locations, that go on and on for way, way too long. Maddening.
  • Matty Mudflap
    Bad Audio
    Enjoy the commentary but the audio quality is legitimately almost un-listenable
  • RedSkyBurns
    Oh no I was serious.
    Oh your sweet privileges. When I said no Saudi golf I meant it. Cowards.
  • lesgolesgo
    Patrick is a 5* add. Invite him to live events!
    Patrick has been such a valuable add this year. I stopped listening because of the coach. Patrick is insightful and gels with the crew. The coach wouldnt admit if he was wrong.
  • NobleGlassArt
    Loud commercials
    Used to be better, sometime recently they raised the volume of their commercials to much higher than the actual audio. 1 star.
  • Princeton Petrus
    Boring
    So boring
  • mr interval
    I would give 5 stars if…
    I would give a 5-star review if Kyle would stop saying “like” and “it’s like” every third or fourth word.

    Best Golf Podcast ⛳️🏌🏻‍♂️
    This podcast is 100x better than anything I hear on the Golf Channel. Rick KP and the Boys are just the best!
  • Tom31415926
    Stop guest hosting
    I don’t care what joe musso’s contract demands, but let Rick host the show please. HQ producers are confused how to maximize their talent.
  • nate andy
    Favorite pod
    I could literally listen to these guys talk Goff all day long. It's the best golf program on podcasts, radio or even TV. Aside from the golf itself. Favorite episodes are always Sunday.
  • Tee3377
    Sound Quality
    Guys have to be careful about breathing into microphones when commenting. . Especially Mark. Driving me crazy.
  • cpt cript 952
    Listen to this everyday!
    Love you guys, thank you for the podcast! How do I get a copy of Normal Sport 2 (sold out)? Thanks fellas!

    Great Pod that is an everyday listen. Thanks to all. Great product and effort
  • a280405
    Lots of deep breaths
    I listen to a lot of podcasts and for some reason this the only one where all the hosts breaths before speaking is really loud. Is it the mics or something? Makes it hard to listen to.
  • GolfGrouch
    Spoilers in the titles
    This podcast unnecessarily reveals the winners of tournaments in the titles which can be a spoiler if you haven’t watched the tournament yet. This has happened too many times for me so I’ve had to unsubscribe.
  • Jeremy_Rogers
    Love the pod, monthly question
    Along the lines with rolling the ball, back how interesting would it be for the PGA tour to adopt a similar format to F1; different regulations (ball, clubs, etc) every few years?
  • Stevie T0180
    🚨 QUESTION FOR MAILBOX 🚨
    Remember the PGL League? to help the European tour or DP world tour, if Keith Pelley spoke with Andy Gardiner and they came up with a fall season , or even did these team tournaments throughout the year , do you think it help the DP world tour, and also get more eyeballs to it, and if it worked , maybe the PGAT would use their Alliance to merge something with it to make golf more “appealing” to outside non golfers? I think team Taylormade, team titleist, team Calloway, team PXG etc. would be dope!
  • TNvols615
    Two questions
    Long time listener here. 1. Explain to me and many fans out there how is it possible Jay Monahan still has a job? Everything he said wouldn’t happen has come true. SGS podcast seems to be only one’s talking about PGAT leadership mess. Only glimmer of hope is Tiger and Rory deciding to take charge and be adults in the room. 2. This is fantasyland. What happens with LIV and PGAT long term? There are no rules. Discuss a scenario where they merge and work together. Fire Norman. What else? I still have love as a fan for a lot of those players.
  • DanielW1231
    Listen to every episode
    Question to discuss: Kyle always talks about there being 10-15 guys that matter in golf. Please debate and discuss who are those guys that matter?

    The Only Golf Pod You Need
    Love the show, here’s my question: When you use a plunger, do you grip it like a golf club? I noticed that I used my interlocking grip when plunging the other day, and I can’t tell if I’m weird or normal.
  • BCgolf13
    Q for the content.
    What are all of your golf handicaps? Are any of you ballers? Are any of you trash?
  • Hanju Lee
    I’ve listened to every episode
    Love this podcast. Thanks for all the hard work, research and thoughtful discussions. One question, I am curious on everyone’s handicap. Who’s the best golfer?? 😀. This won’t effect my opinion on credibility on anyone, I am just super curious. Thanks! Keep up the great work! Hanju
  • spiethforpresident
    Ryder Cup
    If LIV golfers are eligible to compete for the European team, would their team chemistry and camaraderie be dysfunctional and hurt them? Or could they put that aside for a week for that competition?
  • STR82DVD
    Had to Unfollow
    The show isn’t bad when KP isn’t there. But First Cut is unlistenable when he’s in the lineup. “It’s like….uhhhhh…the thing is….uhhh…like….”
  • Alecw333
    New FedEx Cup question
    Love the podcast! 1 question: What do you guys think about switching the FedEx cup playoffs to a purely match play style event? Seems like it would align with many other team and individual styles sports and would be more interesting to watch. Maybe only top 30 get in. Keep up the great work!
  • 3 Cycle
    Informative & great
    Great pod guys, keep it up!
  • Jamal7
    Smart and Genuine
    I’m a fairly critical person in general and listen to many podcasts. I can’t speak highly enough about this group. The work Greg puts in is obvious and appreciated!
  • Evan Metzold
    Most informative golf pod
    Rick, Kyle, Mark, Coach, (and especially producer Jacob) all do a great job. They give honest takes and don’t just play characters to create conflict. Well done gents. Keep up the good work.
  • thatsgoodfordouble
    Love the pod
    I feel like this year, maybe with all the time you put in with LIV breaking news, you guys really built relationships - it comes through. You’re not just employees you genuinely enjoy catching up and talking golf. I blame coach.

    First Cut

    What’d Rick Eat For Dinner Last Night
    Hey Rick, what’d you eat for dinner last night? Actual review: Very fun golf pod! Love listening every week!
  • NoSo1000
    Love the Pod / About the money
    Love the pod fellas. Thank you for what you do. Outstanding work. My question: During your coverage of the Tour Championship (FedEx Cup Finals) I heard a lot of talk about added pressure because of how much money was on the line and how important the big payday was. But when “big money” is the subject with LIV, the sentiment is that players work “less hard” and are “less motivated” to play at a top level. Doesn’t really seem fair. Last note: Just my 2 cents I love the game of golf and am a big fan of both the legendary PGA Tour and the upstart Liv golf. Sometimes it’s hard to hear opinions that are so bias. Liv has a fun and exciting new product with some great players. The Tour is still the biggest and best tour on the planet. I love when the bias is removed from the conversation. Thanks for hearing me out. All the best fellas. You guys are world class!
  • Scooterd182
    Great insight and perspective
    The First Cut is entertaining for anyone who follows golf and also provides great insight and perspective on who’s playing well and who’s not. This podcast was a huge factor in helping me with my #1 finish in my one and done pool with over 490 people. Thanks First Cut!!

    Question
    Hey guys love the pod. I would love a shout out to @jimmyp91 on Instagram ..trying to build my stable of students and hopefully pick up some pro sponsors. Just recently made my first pro tour points list. I would love to see a matchup segment. I can come on and share my picks. I’m rocking them !

    Insightful. Clap to KP pushing the envelope. Greg is very compassionate while critiquing.
