    Good show. Balance the word count.
    I understand someone needs to be the master of ceremonies, so to speak, but the imbalance of talking can be a little offputting at times. Otherwise good show good vibe.
  • Dtsavant
    Tourney recaps are great!
    Keep it up guys. Love the tournament, recaps from Greg and all the questions and all the details that y’all get into love the show.
  • armfr01
    Excellent show
    I love these podcasts. The hosts come at golf from a good mix of backgrounds so I always find it informative and lighthearted.
  • Birdy boy blue
    Best Golf Podcast by Far
    If you enjoy having a laugh and love golf there is no better pod! Chalmers a tour pro, Crossfield a teaching pro and Stagna a stats man take on all topics and really enjoy teasing each other and discussing golf. They seem to always make me laugh!
  • Cruiser1976
    Fun podcast
    The banter between these 3 are great it makes me laugh with them. The info provided about playing golf is good. And as a bonus, you great stats to “bore” your friends on the first tee. 😁

    Ball Rules
    Like NASCAR, NBA, Volleyball and most arenas…the participants are maximized as well as their equipment. Fields and equipment should be managed. I don’t want 250 yd par threes because my ball can reach with an iron(Sarcasm Light)😁
  • Littlebitadraw
    Aimpoint et al
    1. The banter between the three hosts of the show is almost as quality as the content of the show. Funny and cheeky, I’m a religious listener.
  • Ryanw83
    Get rid of Lou
    Lou Stagner talks down to people. He thinks he deserves to do it. His stats are mildly interesting but he thinks he’s smartest person in room. He uses this cringe form of self deprecating “humor” to offset this but it’s quite possibly the worst self deprecating humor I have ever heard. It’s totally cringe.
  • Cas0036
    Mark Crossfield is Awful
    Ok information if it wasn’t for Mark Crossfield’s god awful voice and his simple minded stupid jokes. He literally laughs at every dumb quip he says and offers literally no value to this podcast. He talked over everyone and only ever wants to at snarky and like he knows more than everyone else. Terrible
  • Ads! :/
    COMBINE the ads like all other pods!
    Love the banter and content, but for the love of god, combine the ads at either the beginning or middle, not split every 7mins. Every other pod does it.
  • Cvarv2
    Suggestion to the guys from a listener who likes the show
    Hey guys. I’ve listed to a couple of dozen shows at least! Great , informative and fun! I’m a 50 year old 10 handicap who’s just begun to play regularly (70 rounds 2023) and obsessed with improving. Love how the stats help guide you to ways to better manage the course decisions. My gripe is that it seems the more you guys have don’t this together, the more you talk about “Who got the stats closer?! Was it Adam? Greg this time?!?” Worth a chuckle. But legit almost quit listening a few times because all of your side chatter overtakes the show. Have the banter after the pod is done. Just listed to 75yards in the fairway for a 5 handicap. For a 14 minute podcast it was about 5-6 minutes of you guys simply going back and forth about who was closer to the correct stat. Aside from that, keep up the good work. Hope I stick around long enough to enjoy it.
  • Goodwalkspoiled
    Great stuff
    Insightful and entertaining. I look forward to every episode, and you can could me among those rooting for the #1 Greg in the World.
  • The chokie
    Great golf pod
    3 different perspectives on golf each useful in their own way. Lots of laughs too. That being said, their take on “Rollback” is pretty bad. Arguments are very much strawman and anecdotal. Please listen to NLU or Fried Egg on that subject for a better perspective…. Aside from that one bit, I love this pod and these guys deserve 5 stars. It’s ok to have different opinions here and there.
  • Sean Baird
    Love the advise, less so the commentary
    I really appreciate Mark, ally, and Greg’s stats, tips, etc. But two episodes now on the rollback were very biased. To each his own, but your analysis & discussion has been incredibly one-sided — and less valuable and interesting as a result. Bring someone else to defend the proposal or at least make an honest defense. The regulatory bodies are not stupid, yet you treat them as if they are. Disappointed.
  • Bowens1975
    Great Podcast
    Team Greggy!! Still loving the podcast guys.
  • figrdhokn
    Just ads
    This podcast has become nothing but ads and mindless talk to fill time between ads.
  • David in Asia
    Golf Stats…
    Having watched the Ryder Cup where we saw more individual shots per player than in a tournament (good and bad), I wonder if the Stats (putting, approach shots) were better in total or for individuals than normal PGA / ET tournaments? It seems like they were. I know it’s a bit late to ask this but…. Great show and please keep it coming.
  • DasFeine
    Almost great
    Most of the information here is absolutely incomparable. So, so good. The problem is the delivery. A Yank, a Bloke and an Aussie all talking loudly over each other; 2 guys laughing while the other guy raises his voice to be heard. It’s a difficult listen at times. In this day and age the delivery should be better. Maybe someone needs to learn how to mix audio or put it on YouTube so we can at least see the lips moving. Something. This could and should be better, given the expertise these three possess.
  • Hpp10
    Practical, relevant, interesting
    A great mix of tips, stats, insight with different perspectives with a good blend of personalities that keeps it light while also getting the messages across in a serious way.
  • Christomarti
    I love all 3 of these guy!
    I followed all 3 of these guys individually, when I found out they had a podcast together I couldn’t believe it. Great chemistry, funny guys.
  • Wander Dude
    Love it
    Love this pod! Great chemistry , humor and information . Always a good listen
  • rogeroliverII
    Great Podcats
    These guys are great!! They are entertaining and give great info to help you with your game. They each have different backgrounds in the game of golf and it works perfectly to make a great podcast. A must for every golfer!
  • james from waco
    Fun, entertaining, and useful
    I love this pod, quick episodes packed with stats and usable takeaways. Keep up the great work
  • Iupab
    No Principles
    Ok other than their support of LIV golfers playing on the Ryder Cup team. There is no argument to support this! It’s a Team sport and LIV players. Have a different team. Idiots!
  • BLPawnStar
    Such a fun lesson and very informative
    This is by far the most underrated golf podcast. I listen to, and I literally listen to almost every single one of them. I put this up there with Golf so far foreplay and Local Knowledge the information is stuff we all can relate to, and learn from the statistics from Mr. Lou our mind blowing and really gives you a better perspective of what your realistic expectations should be. I recommend this to everyone please keep up the good work gentlemen.
  • I am a minion now

    Great chemistry amongst the hosts, love the mix of stats, instruction, and whatever Greg brings!

    Perspective
    I started listening to your show a year ago. I’m a mid handicap player. The statistics have helped me enjoy the game more as I understand that I was asking way to much of myself. Now I am more relaxed and enjoy my time on the course more. You’ve also helped me put emphasis on the parts of my game that can be more easily improved. Cheers fellas.
  • Draxe90
    Great show!
    Love the show, thanks for helping think differently about my approach to the game! Love the banter and fun you gentlemen have! Lou I appreciate you analytical approach, both of my boys are double majors in actuarial science and data analytics! Love the data mining!
  • Jim the Pig Guy
    Informative, funny, makes you think
    Great pod that, while humorous, makes you think about some of the obvious things to make your game better that you just never think about. Great listen.
  • creepwink
    A Fan
    I have been a fan of Mark Crossfileld for ten years on YouTube. Now a fan of Lou and Greg. Great golf info and insight. Many times if feels like I’m eavesdropping on three guys having a pint at the pub and talking golf at a very high level. I love it and mow my lawn to it every week.
  • Wakele
    The best!
    Hands down the best golf podcast going. Refreshing and enlightening to listen to golf opinion that’s actually substantiated by data and facts vs cliches and baseless anecdotes. Loved the Open recaps; please do the same for the Ryder Cup!
  • Best golf podcast
    The best golf podcast
    These guys have helped me improve my game in many ways. Lots of useful data and ideas. And I’ve enjoyed their conversations too. Can’t recommend it enough. Would love more of everything — game improvement topics (breaking 80, short game, distance themes were all excellent); interviews; etc. It’s all good. I am excited for new episodes and relisten to them all.
  • 826475a
    A “Must” in golf pod rotation
    Good pod for men’s golf, I enjoy the short-legged pro’s insights, the myth-busting stat-h*le, and the game coaching Englishman. Sadly they don’t have the resources or talent team to cover LPGA golf. Appreciate that they aren’t d*ckriders for Rory or Jay. Overall both enjoyable and I always learn something.
  • TBlake83
    On Target
    Facts, Stats, Theories all bonded by Humor. Perfect mix. I am looking forward to hearing the three of you are going to get together for a round. Pay per View Baby!
  • Dingo-s
    Love it!!
    I couldn’t love this podcast any more than I already do. Great information coupled with a hilarious atmosphere makes it feel like I’m sitting with a group of friends. Keep it up guys!

    Great Show - Topic Idea Below
    I am a high school golf coach and enjoy your analysis and get a ton of ideas from you to help kids improve. Thank you for that! I started playing golf at 11 and used a starter set 3,5,7,9,D,3W,Putter. I played HS and college golf and 30 years as an adult with a traditional full set of clubs. Recently, at age 50, I returned to 3,5,7,9,PW,SW,GW,4H,D,3W,Putter. Much lighter to carry as I always walk!! Have you ever done a show or researched benefits/drawbacks of amateur players playing with less clubs? Going back to this equipment lineup, I find I am much more focused over iron shots, my distance control is much improved and it forces me to be more creative with shots. Not to mention, my shoulders hurt less carrying less weight and with cost of equipment it has some economic advantages with a lot of manufacturers selling individual irons now. I am a 2-3 HCP currently.

    Manners
    I really enjoy this show but have quit listening to it. Mark is funny and smart, but he crosses the line with his insults to Lou. He goes beyond good nature ribbing to just being mean.
  • real musik
    Data that helps golf expectations
    It’s easy to get bad info on good/bad golf shots just by watching the pros on TV. You come away thinking good shots are only the ones that are 10 feet from the pin, or that I should be draining 80% of 8 footers (pros only do this ar 50% 😂). This podcast is a great combination of analysis and real Arccos data that helps weekend golf warriors improve their game by setting more realistic expectations for themselves.
  • MitchCumstein6969
    Someone needs to mute Crossfield
    Crossfield spouts unintelligible garbage for 75% of the show and the rest of the time he’s stepping on Greg and Lou who actually have unique insights. Lou does amazing research using the Arccos and tour data sets. Unfortunately Crossfield drones on and on about himself and his golf swing instead of keeping quiet while an actual tour winner and an highly entertaining analyst share their unique perspectives. Lou and Greg: 5 stars. Crossfield: zero stars.
  • rkf72
    Eye opening
    Wow, this is the most valued podcast I’ve ever listened too. As a former PGA club pro recovering from a stroke (2018). A once scratch player was a 19.0 index, and now 10.5 with lofty goals to get back to the player I was, and this podcast tutelage will be invaluable to me.
  • Kavubills
    So good!
    I can’t believe anyone would give you guys a rating of anything but a 5 star. The advice and comments are amazing. I feel like I’m stealing by getting free lessons.
  • WilkIU84
    Saturday Morning Stats
    Have been listening for about three months and find you guys to be funny and helpful. Great podcast. The stats you give have helped me to be more realistic and aim for the center of the green more often while trying to improve my ball contact. As a 5-6 handicap your stats have helped me to be more consistent.
  • Jeff121
    My new favorite golf podcast
    Recently found this podcast and it is my new favorite. So much so I’ve listened to almost all the previous episodes in the last two years. Episodes now with Greg are so much better than with Scott. I love Lou’s stats but there is only enough room for one stat hole. The banter is great among this group, they really gel well together.
  • PhD Velena
    Lou Stagner
    I’ve got a PhD in engineering and Lou is my hero!! Keep up the great work!
  • Voice cracks
    Great Advice that ACTUALLY helps
    Been following this crowd on social media for a while and decided to give them a listen. They do a great job of pointing out common misconceptions and providing adjustments to them. The Saturday morning stat and breaking 80 theme have been a wake up call for me. Broke 80 yesterday for the first time. Looking forward to staying there with the helps of these fine gentleman.
  • Eman in TX
    My favorite golf podcast
    I’ve learned a great deal from these 3 guys. Each host brings a unique and substantial wealth of knowledge that I can understand. The banter between the hosts is funny and intertwining. I also like the length of the pods is usually around 30 minutes. For me the perfect length to absorb the information.
  • carter0102
    Game changing insights
    Really great insights into where most golfers are going wrong in their game and approach. If you want to improve or just enjoy stats and numbers this is a show you’ll love. Different ad system and exploring the same concepts for low handicap vs plus handicap would be interesting too. I’m sure some can’t break par the same as us hackers can’t break 80 or 90.
  • DatsuChris
    It grows on you, entertaining and informative
    I think it takes a minute to appreciate the comedic relationships between the hosts but after listening to about 5 episodes I started to enjoy the banter. I started listening mostly to hear more from Lou as I enjoyed him on other podcasts but now I appreciate Mark and Greg as well. I find this to be mostly a fun listen for the golf obsessed and it contains good nuggets of information useful to players of all levels. The only reason I didn’t give 4-5 stars is that in the last few weeks they went over to a terrible ad system. It interiors often, the audio for the ads is louder than the show, and the products are generic non related typical junk. I’d be fine with the hosts doing occasional short ads for products get believe in, or better yet a simply “brought to you by”. But I may stop listening to the show as the new ads are unbearable especially since I often listen to the show before I fall asleep and ads are jarring. Please guys, you deserve to make some cash for your efforts on the show but find a better way please.
  • hystyk
    Great info and good fun!
    Love this podcast. The chemistry between Lou, Mark, and Greg is fantastic. Love the stats from Lou and overall info from this podcast. Can’t wait for golf season! Thanks for the pod gents!
