Agree w/ GS, you have to get fans around the greens if at all possible.

The Farmers ended with a hole out too but there's no comparison in the atmosphere after.

Here was Rahm's eagle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq1OUYndHIg&feature=youtu.be

This was a very enjoyable podcast, I prefer the no-guest ones where Geoff and House trade opinions. I'm glad they took Gladwell to task here - as a prior fan of his, I was really disappointed in his Revisionist History podcast on LA golf clubs. Not so much for the stance he took as much as the approach he took to the argument, which as House and Geoff point out had so many things wrong with it, it was embarrassing.

Yes, no guests! Great chat on the many weird matters in the game. You guys have really gelled. Fun listen.

Re: Gladwell

As a fan of Gladwell and Shackhouse and golf, this was conflicting. Gladwell usually provides fresh takes and interesting perspective so it was hard to listen when he led off saying "I hate golf." However, the only part I support of Gladwell's is the tax thing.

Pretty rediculous (and a somewhat accurate reflection of our society/politics) that a bunch of rich people can shape/influence politics and legislation to save themselves millions at the expense of others.

In conclusion, I love golf, Shackhouse and Gladwell and like Shack said- its good for these examinations (particularly from golf outsiders) to take place from time to time. Golf need not be insular and exempt from public scrutiny, despite what rich people (like House) say.
