**Capital Golf Gang**

“The Capital Golf Gang” reflects who we are and where we are from. Steve Czaban, John Ronis, Ron Thomas and Jon Guhl — four golf fanatics, from four distinctly different “sectors” of the “industry” and we’ve lived here in the Washington D.C. area for most of our adult lives. Our goal for this golf podcast is to be ruthlessly entertaining, informative, and beholden to nobody. At times, our bare-knuckle truth will sound like four guys shooting the sh#t after a round in the clubhouse, over a beer. Which is precisely the goal. As such, don’t expect a bunch of bubble gum card names on this podcast. By being brutally honest, you accept the fact that you may not make friends with everybody in the game. But we’ll always be fair, and there’s enough divergent opinions to keep everybody in check.

BONUS EPISODE: Hey You Kids! Stopping Hitting The Ball So Far! Dec 07, 2023

Show notes

In the ultimate "Get Off My Lawn" bureaucratic move, the governing bodies of the game of golf have decided to "do something" about distance in golf. Too bad, it really won't do anything but lead to lawsuits and arguments. JOHN RONIS and BUDDY CHRISTENSEN joined Czabe today on his CzabeCast podcast to discuss, so we decided to cross-post it here as well for you golf nerds who don't listen to Czabe on a daily basis.
