MBM 108-Template Talk! Leven, Biarritz, Alps, Cape, Punchbowl, and Redan!
October 30, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 41.5 MBToday, we talkin' templates. More specifically, we're one of our favorite episode formats, overrated, underrated, properly rated with templates being our topic of choice to go through the deep scrutiny of the tie podcast. Architecture chats always go hard at the tie, and this conversation was no exception. We break down the strategy, origin, pros, cons, and necessary conditions of some of our favorite templates and assess where we think they sit in the context of an O/U/P chat. Tune in to h...
Sean Foley on Biomechanics and Personal/Professional Evolution
October 26, 2023 23:00 - 1 hour - 45.4 MBIf you don't already know, by the end of this episode there will be no questions as to how introspective and thoughtful of a person and golf instructor Sean Foley is after listening to today's conversation. From the DERT to talking about his time working with Tiger Woods all the way to his family life and personal development, Sean takes a wholistic and granular approach to everything. He is a self proclaimed manifester of his goals and keeps a clear vision as to where he's been, where he's...
Mudball Monday 107-What The OWGR Ruling Means for The LIV Boys!
October 23, 2023 04:00 - 47 minutes - 32.4 MBThere's a lot going on in the world of professional golf and the theme has been, well, a total lack of clarity as to where we are and where we're headed. LIV, mergers, the ~fall series,~ Netflix Cup, TGL, all this junk and we still are left with little to no sense of how these entities interact, nor what each of them are going to be down the road. One thing we do know is that the LIV tour's OWGR application being denied is a big deal. This potentially leaves in question the viability of LIV...
Casey Bannon of The Golfer's Journal
October 20, 2023 01:00 - 1 hour - 45.2 MBCasey Bannon joins us from his home state of Florida this week! Casey has played an integral role at The Golfers Journal as Assistant Editor, but has a hand in all aspects of the business. Family life, his early "tie" to the game through his father, and his passion for a great story were central themes in this conversation, but there's more about creativity and process, building a brand, and how golf puts us in positions to create meaningful and lasting connections. Cheers, - The Tie Guys...
Mudball Monday 106-Fall Ball. The Glory of Fall Golf and Other Important Matters!
October 16, 2023 04:00 - 44 minutes - 30.9 MBSome think it's the best time of year to play. Some (like me) know that #winteriscoming and get scared every time they peg it in the fall. One thing is for sure, a good round in the fall when the weather surprises to the upside, you get a touch of breeze, and the golf course is in good shape, can be as good of a golf experience as any. It's just harder to know for sure what the day will bring in the fall. Tune in to hear what we think about fall golf and all that it entails. Tips on where y...
Tie Course Reviews 5-Great Courses to Play Solo, With a Camera, and in Match Play!
October 13, 2023 00:00 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MBWe're back to talk about more course reviews! We like to do these to highlight golf courses that we think are best in class in their own unique way so rather than compare each golf course on the same set of metrics and expectation, we are here to acknowledge that there are so many great courses and for many different reasons. In today's categories, we will highlight courses that are great for a match play format, for taking photography of, and for playing all by your lonesome. These are di...
Mudball Monday 105-End of Season Awards... Tie Style!
October 09, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 42.1 MBYou all can guess that these won't be just your standard post season awards of MVP, Most Improved, etc etc. No, today we will be breaking down who is worthy of winning the highest accolades in the game, such as "The Fast Shitting Dog Award," "The Ron Weasley Award," "The Mr. Clean Award," and more. These awards recognize the true winners, and losers, of the past year that was on the PGATour with only the most important best of and worst of sort of identifications. What do these awards mean,...
Stew Hagestad-The Mindset to Win Mid Ams and Compete in Majors!
October 06, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 46 MBStew is back to break down his amazing summer of 2023, the prep and commitment that has gone into another successful run at and on the Walker Cup Team, winning his 3rd US Mid Am, and winning The Crump Cup at Pine Valley. Of course by virtue of his Mid Amateur triumph, Stew will be competing in The Masters for the 3rd time as well as the US Open for the 5th time. Pretty cool stuff and fun to get to hear how he thinks about the importance of those events to him, what the differences are betwe...
Mudball Monday 104-Post Game Report from The Ryder Cup!
October 02, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 44.3 MBWell, that was an interesting week. Maybe not quite what the American fans had hoped for, but the golf course, desired controversy, and juice from the environment all lived up to the hype we all desire out of the Ryder Cup. Always a fantastic week to be a golf fan, regardless of the outcome. We break down what we saw from the different golfers, our thoughts on some of the controversy that ensued, how the Ryder Cup has seemingly gotten so for away from both sides from a competitive standpoi...
Neal Shipley-2023 US Am Finalist on The Masters, Improvement, NIL, and Quantitative Finance!
September 28, 2023 23:00 - 45 minutes - 30.9 MBAs you can probably gather from the title, Neal Shipley is not your average Amateur golfer. Nothing against many of my other peers of the past, but not many guys are as interesting as Neal. Today we get into a great and somewhat wide ranging conversation about the notes above, the DERT of course, how Neal had such a great summer of golf, Waffle House, and more. I was highly impressed with Neal's outlook on golf and how it relates to our lives in general and his overall perspective on thing...

September 22, 2023 00:00 - 53 minutes - 37 MBFormer Stanford Golfer Patrick Grimes joins us this week to discuss his change in path post professional golf.

Mudball Monday 102-Most Iconic (Chaotic) US Open Setups!
September 18, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 42.6 MBAlthough somewhat a thing of the past, the US Open has a long history of crazy setups, some reaching the point to where players discussed not being willing to play the event or to boycott the event altogether. While the devil on my shoulder hopes that we have not moved on from those sorts of US Opens for good, the angel says it's a positive thing for the game that the USGA has gotten their hands around how to make US Open courses a stern yet fair test. With that being said, today we are tal...
Brentley Romine and Henry Preview the 2023-2024 NCAA Golf Season!
September 15, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 50.5 MBBrentley is back once again as anytime we want to get some NCAA golf going at The Tie, he is our go to man. As someone who has covered the collegiate game for over 12 years now, Brentley has as much knowledge on these teams and coaches as about anyone you will find. In this episode, Henry and Brentley attack the 2023-2024 season with a few different questions that aren't just simply a top 5 players and teams but rather some more interesting questions to get Brentley thinking about who is re...
Mudball Monday 101-The Mid Am Vibe vs The US Amateur!
September 11, 2023 04:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBThe US Mid Am, also affectionately known as simply "The Mid." A collection of guys who can definitely still play, don't take things too seriously, and are most definitely just #happytobethere. This is my maiden voyage into the world of mid amateur golf and boy am I excited to play at this level for years to come. Guys are there to compete and have fun, but at the end of the day, no one can complain because at the very least we're all taking a few days away from work and the realities of lif...
NLU's Neil Schuster-Goals, Judgement Day, and Consistency!
September 08, 2023 00:00 - 58 minutes - 39.9 MBPleased to have No Laying Up's Neil Schuster join the pod today to discuss some of the physical challenges he's taken on in the last few years and why he is inclined to set goals and seek challenges. We talk a lot about how particularly as former athletes, as we reach adult life, there are not as many goals and challenges that we are faced with and ho important it is to make a point of seeking those things. Not only are physical and athletic goals a great way to stay in shape, but the po...
Tie Course Reviews 4-Over/Under/Properly Rated Golf Courses!
September 06, 2023 04:00 - 54 minutes - 37.5 MBWe're sticking our necks out a bit today to share our takes on courses we think sit somewhere in the rankings they maybe shouldn't. While The Tie Course Reviews typically are not so much about rankings, we can't refer to a place as being overrated, underrated, or properly rated if we don't talk about where they sit in rankings. While ranking a course for everyone is a hard thing to do as not everyone is going to see a course in the same way and want the same things out of it, we did try to...

Mudball Monday 99-US Amateur Breakdown and Final Thoughts!
August 21, 2023 04:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MBWhat a blast of a week at Cherry Hills. Easily one of the more underrated golf courses I am aware of. Today we are going to go a lay deeper on what the week held, the final match as well as ones leading up to it, a few thoughts on how Henry fared out at Cherry, and the US Amateur in general. Cherry Hills was as good of a US Amateur venue as we've had on a long time and it only feels right to give it a good dose of coverage. Other than this, we of course get into the DERT, and a healthy dose...
Jaeger Kovich- Proper Golf Design & Learning From Doak, Hanse, & Associates
August 18, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 54.2 MBJaeger Kovich joins this week to discuss his career as a golf course architect. Born as a New Yorker, Jaeger was exposed to Shinnecock Hills early in his teens for what he calls his "aha moment". A few books later, the aha moment became a persistent chase to work for Tom Doak. That push included many emails, uncertainty, and nights studying mandarin in hopes of getting the next job in China. He got that job, eventually worked with Gil Hanse & Jim Wagner for many years, eventually as an as...
Mudball Monday 98-US Amateur Preview from Inside The Ropes!
August 14, 2023 04:00 - 41 minutes - 28.8 MBThis week's US Amateur at Cherry Hills has the makings of being as good as about any we've seen in a while. A fantastic golf course, intriguing conditioning that will keep the players guessing, Walker Cup ramifications on both the US and GB&I teams, and a lot more. Today, Walker and Henry break down what we're seeing this from inside the ropes and what could make this US Amateur one of the more interesting ones in a while. The golf will be on TV all week so tune in to see a wonderful golf c...
House Theory Thursday-Wild Horse GC vs. Pinehurst No. 4!
August 11, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 43.4 MBTwo great public courses here are being matched up today for a little house theory action! It's been a little while since we've done a house theory, but boy are we excited to be back. The common thread here between these two courses is public golf, and great public golf at that. Wild Horse is in the middle of nowhere and is the best/only game in town whereas Pinehurst No. 4 is surrounded by other great courses and is likely a bit overshadowed by others. That said, these courses both receive...
Mudball Monday 97-Fueling Your Round For Performance!
August 07, 2023 04:00 - 42 minutes - 29.2 MBNot always do we hop on a Mudball Monday in attempt to provide actual value; however, today that will not be the case. In today's episode we will be running through how we like to go about our fueling plan in a round of golf to maximize performance and give ourselves the best chance at success. Not every round is this necessary, but especially when in competition, it's valuable to know that a few granola bars and a beer or two on the back nine probably won't lead to your best results. If it...
Geoff Shackelford and Henry Discuss 18 of California's Finest Par 3's!
August 04, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 47.3 MBGeoff is back to talk about the best par 3's in California with Henry today! If you recall from our last podcast with Geoff, we went on a slight tangent talking about how many great par 3's there are in the state of California. So, naturally, we decided to put those thoughts to action and do a pod. Today we present to you 18 of California's great par 3's from nine different categories of holes such as short holes, long holes, great Mackenzie holes, Thomas holes, etc. Now, bear with us. Whi...
Mudball Monday 96-First Look At The Ryder Cup Teams!
July 31, 2023 04:00 - 54 minutes - 37.4 MBIt's going to be here before we know so we are getting out ahead of the Ryder Cup team breakdowns to talk about what we know today, where we think things may go with the teams from here, and what still needs to happen before we can know who the teams will ultimately be. We of course start with the DERT, and then get into a chat about the Ryder Cup teams on both the US and European side as well as talking about matchups we want to see, the golf course, and a whole lot more. Strap in, and let...
Mike Nuzzo- Aerospace Engineer to Golf Architect!
July 28, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 46.1 MBMike Nuzzo joins us today to discuss his "tie" to the game- One thing I've found common amongst most architects is that for better or worse, golf and architecture consume their thinking. For many, it does result in some extraordinary work. With Mike, I found it refreshing how much he has invested in a well-rounded life. Expect an episode that covers far more than width, angles, and strategy. We spend a good deal of time discussing his background as an aerospace engineer, the components an...
Mudball Monday 95-What Makes a Great Championship Golf Hole!
July 24, 2023 04:00 - 43 minutes - 29.8 MBGreat Championships are made by great courses. Great courses are made by great holes. Today, we are talking about what we believe makes a great championship golf hole and what the best courses and holes have in common that create for interesting and exciting tournament golf. In our opinion, there are two types of great championship holes: those that provide scoring opportunities but also present danger i.e they spread the scores, and then those that just flat out ask specific and objective...
Chandler Withington- Running Hazeltine to Capturing History
July 21, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBHello Tie Friends, Joining us this week is Chandler Withington who is now an artist focused on delivering history through his hand-drawn artwork. His "tie" to the game goes much deeper, and is the reason this was such a slam-dunk conversation for this platform. Chandler tells us about his path; navigating dreams of a career in architecture, then finding a home as a PGA Professional at some of golf's most esteemed clubs including Seminole, Merion, and Hazeltine. We discuss the demands of...
Mudball Monday 94-The Open Preview! 3 Holes and 3 Players to Watch!
July 17, 2023 01:00 - 41 minutes - 28.6 MBHoylake is undoubtedly a highly underrated open venue. While the locale may not be the best of places to be for the open relative to a St. Andrews or Edinburgh, Hoylake is a gem, and it's going to be an awesome week of golf for the 151st Open Championship. Today we will preview the week by talking about a few of the holes and players we will be watching this week at Hoylake. Walker will focus on the golf course, and Henry will be focused on the players. Stay tuned this week for a live from...
Cole Buck-From Stanford Assistant to TCU Associate Head Coach!
July 14, 2023 00:00 - 42 minutes - 29.2 MBCole Buck played for a stint at TCU before realizing his passions for the game were more in coaching others, rather than playing himself. His first coaching gig was as a graduate student at Wagner College in Staten Island, NY. Likely making him the youngest D1 head coach at the time. From Wagner, he would move on to Lipscomb University in Nashville, and eventually to Stanford, before taking the Associate head position at his alma mater just weeks ago. Cole is a passionate mentor and leader ...

Emilia spoke a lot about her decision to bypass professional golf as she decided she wanted to pursue other options such as being a commentator/podcaster, journalist, and amateur competitor. This week will likely be the first of many where we see Emilia continuing to compete in some of the world's biggest tournaments...
Mudball Monday 93-Tips for Playing your Best Without Practice!
July 03, 2023 04:00 - 52 minutes - 36.3 MBWe don't always provide "value" in the form of playing golf here at The Tie Podcast, but today, we will. The topic of today's conversation is how to get the most out of your golf game if you are someone who doesn't get much - if any - time to practice golf. In the last year or so, both of us have entered the world of "what was I thinking about last time I played... a month ago" so we are here to provide some of our thoughts as guys that used to know how to play a little bit on how to sum...
Brian Schneider and Blake Conant-Old Barnwell
June 30, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBBlake Conant and Brian Schneider are two of the most experienced folks in the industry of course design, construction, restoration, and golf course consulting work. Both sit atop a mountain of important projects as both have lent their expertise on courses many of us regard as "Bucket A" golf in the United States and the globe at large. So when they show up to build a course on sandy, undulating, forest land in South Carolina, I'm going to take interest. I first visited over the holidays...
Mudball Monday 92-LPGA Chat. How the women can benefit from the craziness in men's golf!
June 26, 2023 04:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MBThere's a lot of craziness going on in the world of men's professional golf these days and we believe this presents a really strong opportunity for the women to leverage this into a chance to bring golf back to more pure roots. From the golf courses, to the way the product is presented to us, to the players in the game, there is a lot to be interested in with what is going on in the women's game. Today we bring on former LPGA tour caddy, Matt Galloway to talk about his experiences with the ...
Lee Wybranski- Balance of the Madness
June 22, 2023 22:00 - 1 hour - 47.5 MBHELLO TIE FRIENDS, Excited to bring this chat to you all today. Lee Wybranski these days doesn't need much of an introduction, but for those of you who haven't purchased far too many golf related artwork for your workspace, Lee's is among the most desirable. This conversation provides a thorough background on Lee's journey to where he is today as a golf artist, producing prints that trigger the comradery we all know so well that surrounds our Major Championships. His work makes one fee...
Mudball Monday 91-On the Ground vs TV Experience from LACC!
June 19, 2023 04:00 - 55 minutes - 38.1 MBWhat a week at LACC! Although the reviews may have been a bit less positive than we may have expected, it was still an awesome week to be a golf fan and take in the 3rd major of the year. We split time this week between being at the event vs watching on TV so we entered into a chat today about what the experience was like on the ground vs just watching from home. We also tackle some of the common complaints we were hearing this week and break down our thoughts on whether the issues people ...
Conrad Ray-4 Players at LACC, Competing at Pinehurst in '05, and Tiger Stories!
June 15, 2023 04:00 - 44 minutes - 30.5 MBThis is an episode that has been a long time coming, and this felt like the perfect time to call in Coach Ray to talk about a big week ahead for the Stanford Cardinal at LACC. With 4 players in the field, it is already a historic week for the Stanford Men's Golf program and it will be awesome to see where things shake out over the course of the week. While Coach Ray has 4 players in this week's US Open, his depth with this event and golf course go much further than that. As a competitor in ...

June 12, 2023 04:00 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MBWe're here! This is a week we've been fired up about for a long, long time and we couldn't be more excited that it's here. A major championship, on an incredible golf course, with a golf world that is in a super interesting spot, what a time to be having an event like this. To kick the week off, we are going to talk about who we each think is going to finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at this event, and of course why. It's a course that we don't know a ton about relative to many US Open course whic...
Mike McCoy-2023 USA Walker Cup Team Captain!
June 09, 2023 04:00 - 49 minutes - 33.8 MBWhat a treat to have Mike McCoy here to talk about his preparations for this summer's Walker Cup as well as his own background in the game. A few highlights: - 2013 US Mid Am Champion - Competed in 2014 Masters - 2015 US Walker Cup Team Member - 66(!) time USGA competitor What a list of achievements and captaining the US side at St. Andrews later this summer surely will be moved close to the top of that list. Fascinating conversation to hear how Mike is going about selecting the team, beg...
PIF-PGA Emergency POD! With @sticksgolf
June 08, 2023 04:00 - 51 minutes - 35.4 MBHad to do it! Like every golf podcast under the sun, we are here to hop on and chat about the LIV-PGA merger and what we think about how things have gone down so far.

Although there will be some... the intent of today's pod is not to sling one hot take after another...
Mudball Monday 89-NCAA Golf. What We Love/What Can be Better!
June 05, 2023 04:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MBNCAA Golf was a hot piece of the golf landscape over the last few weeks and we consumed A LOT of it. As the years have gone on, more and more people seem to be really intrigued by what is going on in the college golf space; however, the communication through the broadcast of the format, who the players are, and the overall context of the championship just flat out needs to be better. While some of the the people who have been involved in putting the broadcast on have been great additions to...
Tie Course Reviews 3-Routing, Greens, and Features. Somerset Hills, Bandon Trails, Kapalua, and more!
June 01, 2023 22:00 - 50 minutes - 34.7 MBThese are some of the more subtle features in a golf course that often may or may not be discussed at as much length as other aspects when we value a golf course for its architectural merits. That said, these are some of the features of courses that take good courses and make them great, and make the elite ones as described. Today we tease out why these 3 categories can add so much to a golf course and the true value that is created by having great greens, features, and a top bar routing. T...
Mudball Monday 88-Block Talk. A deeper Level on Michael Block!
May 29, 2023 04:00 - 45 minutes - 31 MBWe're here to talk Block. Michael Block. Block Talk, if you will. Everyone has been all over this guy and what he has been up to the last couple weeks, and we are here to break it down. The exemptions, the performance at Oak Hill, the quotes, the twitter discourse, all of it. This guy has become the American dream of golf in the last couple weeks. We build him up to heights no one can sustain just to subsequently break him down to follow. There's certainly more to come from Mr. Block, bu...

Mudball Monday 87- Rahm and Brooks. Character Development of Pro Golfers!
May 22, 2023 04:00 - 53 minutes - 36.8 MBThe best part of pro golf or any pro sport is the figures we follow and how they develop as characters over time. This game certainly has many of them, but arguably none better than Rahm and Brooks in the current landscape of the game. These are two guys who have had long careers in the spotlight, a ton of success, plenty of controversy, and have changed who they are and how they want to be seen many times throughout their careers. To us, what makes each of these guys really intriguing a...

Mudball Monday 86-PGA Championship Week! The Increasing Value of Majors!
May 15, 2023 04:00 - 47 minutes - 32.9 MBAs the money in golf continues to go up, the elusiveness of a major seems to only be accentuated. With so many great players these days, there is one thing that you can't just buy or get anywhere, and that's one of the 4 trophies that matter. More and more players are becoming the types of guys who just don't care very much about what their paycheck looks like at the end of the week, but what they do care about is winning the big ones. This is making major championship weeks better than ev...

Today, Andy I and break down how what we see out on tour affects...
