We're joined by David Jones UK Golf Guy who has THE bets job on the planet... he rates golf courses! Yes, that's true. The mere thought of it should make you want to quit your job! An enthusiast and true golfing fan, Dave provided us with the type of insight that we've been craving since beginning season 2.

We take you to the heart of the Open Championship, sharing our observations from the practice day and how we're excited for our Friday day at the Open. We recount our close encounters with golfing greats such as Jason Day, Abraham Ancer, and Jordan Spieth. We also discuss the course conditions and landscapes of our favorite golfing spots in Scotland. From the flatness of Hoylake to the success of Tiger Woods during the 2006 season, join us as we traverse the landscapes of Craigielaw, Kilspindie, Gullane, and the exquisite Muirfield.

The episode draws to a close with a spirited golf trivia competition and a chat about the controversies that arose during the Open Championship. We delve into the effect of the PGA Tour's involvement in the Scottish Open on fans' experiences and stir up a lively debate about the predictions for the Open Championship. Will Rory McIlroy, Ricky Fowler, or Dustin Johnson take home the claret jug? Join us for this rollercoaster episode filled with golf talk, friendly banter, and much more!
