Stu and JP discuss JP's caddying experience around Oak Hill for James Mason.  JP got some good insight from PGA Tour Veteran, Tom Gillis, on how and why he broke the Matt Kuchar/El Tucan payment story.  Also hear why Tom Gillis had to WD from the event.   Also, with the NCAA Men's Championship having the quarterfinals and semi-final events today, we get into a bit of a college golf discussion, which got pretty lively.  Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

 JP does a remote call in as he is currently preparing to caddy for James Mason in the Senior PGA this week.  We discuss Brendon Todd's recent success in qualifying for the US Open earlier in the week.  We also do a deep dive into Brooks Koepka.  Why doesn't he move the needle and why don't people care that he has won 4 of the last 8 majors?   

Byron Nelson, Sung Kang, Trinity Forest and then we move into the PGA Championship.  Does Tiger drive his own boat???

We had the privilege to be joined by the former host of "Golf Talk Live", Peter Kessler.  Peter hosted the first show on the first day of the Golf Channel and was intimately involved in helping to shape the golf channel into what it is today.  Nothing was off limits and the topics bounced from golf to entertainment.  Give it a listen and if you like what you hear, leave us a review and subscribe.

Great Interview with recent PGA Tour China winner, Trevor Sluman.  We talk with Trevor about how he got into golf and his journey that has led him to competing and winning in China.  It was interesting that he didn't get into golf until later, never had any college offers and now is only 1 step away from competing on the PGA Tour.  Give it a listen as it will give you a different perspective on min-tour golf and how small the world really is.  Thanks for listening!

Wow.  Did we really interview a Masters Champion?  We were thrilled to talk with 1973 Masters Champion for over an hour and we asked him what he remembered from the week of his win, which was a Monday finish.  Tommy also talked about one of the most famous scorecard incidents where he wrote down the wrong score for playing partner Roberto De Vicenzo in the 1968 Masters.  De Vicenzo missed a playoff by 1 shot!
