No Laying Up - Golf Podcast

DJ, Randy and Neil fire up the pod as we ask ourselves to come up with three things that thrill and delight us in pro golf and we fire up our listener voicemails line (33:30). On tonight's Back Nine (1:01:00) we recap Joe Highsmith's win at PGA National, the significance - or lack thereof - of Jake Knapp's 59, LPGA, DP World Tour, TGL, PGA Tour HQ Layoffs, and in honor of tonight's Oscars, Pro Golfers as Best Picture nominees. We also hear from Soly who catches up with Thomas Detry (1:36:30) to relive his win in Phoenix and the challenge of closing out a PGA Tour tournament before we close out with some housekeeping (1:53:30) ahead of a busy week of #content.
