    328: From Pro Golfer to Master Craftsman: Dave Frisch's Putter Revolution
    Send us a textWhat makes the perfect putter? It's a question that has fueled endless debates among golfers, but few have explored it with the depth of knowledge and hands-on expertise as Dave Frisch of Goodwood Golf Company. Transforming from golf professional to self-taught CAD designer and master putter craftsman, Dave brings remarkable insights into both the artistic and scientific elements of putter creation.This episode peels back the curtain on the custom putter industry, revealing how these precision instruments are designed, manufactured, and personalized. Dave walks us through his journey of teaching himself computer-aided design and machining, explaining how he transforms blocks of carbon steel and stainless into heirloom-quality putters that perform as beautifully as they look.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Dave shares findings from his ongoing research comparing different putter designs. Using sophisticated tracking technology, he's challenging some of the boldest marketing claims in the industry, particularly those surrounding "zero-torque" putters. His data suggests what many experienced players intuitively know—there's no universal solution in putting, and the best putter is one that complements your natural stroke pattern.Beyond technical details, we explore what makes custom putters so special: personalization. From custom stamping that commemorates meaningful dates or initials to precise specifications tailored to individual stroke characteristics, these aren't just clubs—they're personal instruments that often become treasured possessions passed through generations.Whether you're fascinated by the craftsmanship behind golf equipment, considering investing in a custom putter, or simply love geeking out about golf technology, this conversation offers valuable insights that might forever change how you think about the most personal club in your bag.

    327: Our PGA Championship Take: Should Majors Be Played at Tour Stops?
    Send us a textThe divide between golf purists and pragmatists takes center stage in this episode as we explore what truly gives a major championship its identity. Fresh off Scottie Scheffler's commanding PGA Championship victory, we examine not just his dominant performance but the deeper question: should prestigious majors be played on familiar tour stops, or does that diminish their special character?When industry insider Aarik Greenely unexpectedly joins the conversation, the debate intensifies. Drawing from his extensive background in golf, Aarik offers a nuanced perspective on the PGA Championship's place in the major hierarchy—challenging enough to test every aspect of a player's game without crossing into the punitive territory of a US Open. "I don't like watching the best golfers in the world get embarrassed," Greenely asserts, sparking a thoughtful exchange about what makes tournament golf compelling for both players and spectators.Between discussions of Scheffler's potential Grand Slam path and Harry Hall's strong T19 finish, we share the excitement of our community-building ball marker scavenger hunt across Las Vegas. This local initiative has listeners following social media clues to find hidden Ball Markers at unexpected locations—from local golf centers to poke restaurants. The episode closes with an intimate equipment conversation as we reveal our favorite clubs and golf balls, offering both personal insights and practical recommendations for fellow golf enthusiasts.Join us next week when Dave from Goodwood Putters visits to share his expertise on custom putters and the craft behind them. Until then, keep an eye on @hittinggreens on Instagram for the next ball marker drop somewhere in the Henderson area!The Golf StopAn indoor Trackman Lounge in the south end of the valley featuring four bays, a snack bar, and beer!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

    326: Is the PGA Championship missing its identity as a major?
    Send us a textStunning course conditions at Las Vegas National set the stage for an exciting Vegas Golf Network tournament this weekend. The greens are rolling true, fairways are immaculate, but beware those crusty bunkers that might swallow your ball! We break down the weather forecast from our resident meteorologist Matty G, who predicts light rain and gusty winds that will separate the serious contenders from the fair-weather golfers.Golf's equipment world is ablaze with controversy as Odyssey releases a putter bearing striking resemblance to the wildly popular Lab design. We dive deep into this heated debate, examining how Lab has disrupted the industry to become the third best-selling putter brand while exploring the long history of manufacturers "borrowing" designs from competitors. Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery, or has Odyssey crossed a line?The identity crisis of the PGA Championship takes center stage as we analyze what makes golf's four majors distinct from one another. While Augusta demands precision, the US Open tests grit, and The Open challenges players with elements and terrain, what exactly is the PGA Championship's unique challenge? We propose solutions that could give this major a stronger identity, including a potential return to its match play roots.Our custom Goodwood putters have arrived, and we share our first impressions after taking them for a spin. From immediate adoption to careful consideration, each host has a different experience with these beautifully crafted clubs. Will they replace our current gamers or become cherished collection pieces?Share your thoughts on these topics and join us every Tuesday at 8:30pm Pacific Standard Time.

    325: Discovering the Soul of Coyote Springs and the Odyssey Putter Phenomenon
    Send us a textGolf is about finding what truly works for you - whether that's the right putter, the perfect course challenge, or that one magical shot that keeps you coming back for more.This week, we dive deep into the surprising reality of equipment choices on the PGA Tour, revealing that despite Scotty Cameron's cult following among amateurs, the best putters in professional golf overwhelmingly choose Odyssey mallets. Our analysis of the top 25 strokes-gained leaders challenges conventional wisdom and might make you reconsider what belongs in your bag.The conversation pivots to course conditions as we explore Coyote Springs' dramatic transformation. The maintenance team has allowed rough around bunkers to grow to punishing heights, creating "automatic penalties" for players who miss the fairway. This approach has turned an already challenging course into an even more formidable test - one that will humble even the most confident golfers. We compare its value against Piute, weighing factors beyond just price to help you decide which desert gem deserves your next tee time.Dan shares the story of his recent albatross (or double eagle, depending on your preference), a statistical rarity even more uncommon than a hole-in-one. His driver-pitching wedge combination on a par 5 serves as a reminder that golf's most magical moments often arrive unexpectedly.We also touch on Scottie Scheffler's dominant performance at the CJ Cup, where he tied the PGA Tour scoring record, and critique the disappointing television coverage of the recent Black Desert tournament that failed to showcase one of America's most visually stunning courses.Whether you're debating your next equipment purchase, planning a Las Vegas golf trip, or simply looking for insights into what makes a golf course truly great, this episode delivers the perfect combination of practical advice and pure golf appreciation.
