Summary

It’s a throwback episode, with PJ on a boat sailing to the St. John’s NCAA tournament game. There are some Wifi issues, technical difficulties, and just Andy and Brendan on their own like the old days. They discuss some quick news on Scottie Scheffler laying the blame squarely at the feet of one cohort for the current fracture in men’s pro golf. Then they get to some SGS Golf Advice on a member at a club frustrated by some notable rich and famous people jumping the line into full status privileges. Then Andy closes it with a fantastic mini spotlight or flashback, or a flashlight, on Chip Beck, who carded the second ever 59 on the PGA Tour, but not without some major controversy. The Mac O’Grady disciple is covered in some depth, including a few close majors calls and Ryder Cup run-ins with Woosie.
