After listening to a few of Bob Rotella's audio books (which I highly reccommend to any golfer looking to get better), I wanted some other golf content to have on and listen to at work. I looked around at a few different ones but curious what the Golf Board reccommends?
I listened to the first season of Chasing Scratch, and I like it but it became kind of annoying. I didn't like the guys' speaking voices/accents and I didn't like how they overanalyzed every single aspect of their swings all the time. A lot of times it seemed like they were miserable playing golf. I don't need that negativity LOL
I recently listened to one called the Sweet Spot: LINK Really like this one - listened to the one about double bogey avoidance and the data around it. I like anything that's related to strategy, data, and mind/thought process on the course - not necessarily swing tips or technical advice.
What are some others out there? I've heard of
No Laying Up
Foreplay
Chasing Scratch
Sweet Spot
On The Mark (can't stand Immelman's voice, had to pass on this one)
Rick Shiels
Fire Pit
Rough Cut

Shotgun Start #1 by far

I personally find that No Laying up provides the best content from the podcasting side. They are knowledgeable and entertaining overall.

Golf Subpar
Shotgun Start
Fried Egg
I listen to pretty much all the No Laying Up stuff.

I do listen to most No Laying Up stuff, but they can get pretty pretentious at times. Even still, I think it blows foreplay out of the water

Did Peterson and Killeen stop doing Fore The People?
Posted on 9/19/24 at 5:44 pm to Hermit Crab
I agree on The Smylie podcast.

If you give SS a solid three weeks of listening you’ll pick up on the nicknames and inside info. I honestly belly laugh a couple times per episode.

they must have. I looked for it for a while and eventually figured they gave it up. I really liked Fore the People

Agree with this 100%.
Foreplay is not a serious golf podcast. I listen when they interview guys on tour and around majors, but it kind of sucks otherwise.

It’s hard to take anything they say seriously when you watch Riggs and Trent swing a golf club

Soly from NLU might be the most pretentious person in the podcast scene. He sounds like he is going to cry every time the PGA/LIV stuff comes up. The crazy thing about that is they used to hate on the Tour more than anyone. I think once they became more ingrained with the Tour, they lost some of the irreverence which had made them great.
Foreplay is for a very specific group of listeners. I don't think there is much overlap between that group and posters on this board. I only listen occasionally when they have a good PGA player interviewing.
I agree with everyone about Shotgun Start/the Fried Egg. Shotgun Start is basically a 30-60 minute fun look at professional golf 3 times a week. It's perfect for my commute. The Fried Egg can get a little self indulgent, especially when its Garrett (who sounds like an NPR host), but I love most their stuff with Andy.

Best - No Laying up
Good - Golf's Subpar, Smylie Show, Shotgun start, Fried egg
Trash - Foreplay
I would also recommend No Laying Up's youtube content, particularly Strapped and Tourist Sauce

I think they got into a dispute with the last production company they joined up with, and got their hands tied. I also got the impression they were getting bored with it towards the end.

Were they getting tired of bad mouthing the tour?

Those guys talk more about how much they hate the PGA than they do about the actual golf

Man, I agree Soly can be pretentious and probably even he would tell you that, but I can’t disagree more that they’ve lost some of the hate for the Tour. If anything, it’s gotten even worse in the last 1 - 2 years. I think they legitimately hate Jay Monahan as much as LIV at this point.

Just search for Scott Fawcett and start listening anything he is on.
