You've seen it by now: a young woman reaches for a driver in a golf bag, only to be checked to the ground and told (in a menacing way) not to touch the driver. In this episode, Mark and Lou talk about Good Good/Callaway's abandoned driver ad. How does an ad this ill-conceived get made? Was this inevitable? Is there a future for Good Good?

Over their careers, Greg and Mark have seen and played a lot of golf courses. In this episode, they recall some of their favorites.

The green is reachable. In this episode, missing Greg, Mark takes on Lou's newsletter audience. On a par 5, a solid 5-index golfer is sitting 250 yards out in the fairway. How often will he make bogey or worse from there. With no Greg, we get deep insight into the mind of Mark—and also insight as to why these prime scoring opportunities often go awry.
