Great show

Good

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.

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.

Love the show despite you still not doing an episode about the Fried Egg lie or how to get out of it. Still waiting!

Rahm sold out. Stop kissing his butt

I’ve learned a lot from this podcast. Love the ones with Garrett, especially the recent Paul Runyan and Sunningdale episodes.

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.

Really great contribution to the discussion of golf course architecture

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.

Seems like a compromised company. Not a lot of honest arguments regarding technology or course setup.

An annoying voice on top of a know it all. 🤮

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.

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!

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

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

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.

Great interview with Mathew Goggin; love Australian golf and the Aussie golfers…all have great swings. Why doesn’t USA have the equivalent of AIS? Garrett’s interview with Mathew did a great job of mixing golf course architecture and development with Mathew’s golf career and brings out the sense of humor, personalities and people that are the Australians. Keep it up. Thank you.

I just simply cannot listen to Andy’s voice. It makes me very sad because I love the content. Keep it up boys

Garret is consistently insightful and this episode is another example of his excellent work This is a consistently excellent podcast

Great for golf sickos

This is the go-to golf pod along with Shotgun Start!

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.

As someone who likes storytelling and “inside baseball” reporting, the Fried Egg is as close to perfect it can get. As someone who really started following golf at the tail end of 2020, this podcast has been an invaluable resource for knowledge.

Excellent well-researched Golf podcast with emphasis on architecture. Highly recommend.

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!

Nothing better

If I could only listen to one podcast, this is the one

By far the best golf podcast for architecture, history, deep dives, and insight into recreational and professional golf. Never a bad episode.

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..

Great work! Insightful and detailed analysis that is invaluable. Thanks for your terrific podcasts. N Beach

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!

Each episode is entertaining and also quite educational on golf course design. It brings new appreciation to the sport.

Always an interesting listen!

My go to pod and has been for years.

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 👍

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.

The best, most consistent golf podcast on iTunes.

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.

They do “go deep” on golf. Great deep cuts on 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.

Such an enjoyable podcast. Highly recommend.

Great stuff.

Consistently 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.

The word tour rhymes with four, not sewer.

Love the variety and depth you bring to all the aspects of golf you tackle. I always take something away that I had my thought of or didn’t know. History, design, hot topics all done well!

The most reasoned and considered evaluation of the threat from LIV. PLEASE……find a way to make Jay and the top execs of the PGA Tour sit down and LISTEN to this podcast. The future of the Tour is hanging by a thread the they appear to be in whistling as the ship goes down.

LIV is more nimble than the PGA. Why? PORK What is PORK? Senior Tour Players 81-150 on PGA having full status distinct from Korn Ferry and so on I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of sub top 80 players having a viable championship tour to play on which GUARANTEES a definable opportunity to gain PGA status.

Great pod made playing golf more enjoyable. Understanding design and other topics on here will change the way you look at the game.

Very happy to be review #1,000. Best golf content out there!
