McKellar Golf Podcast #69 Geoff Shackelford and Lawrence Donegan, with guest, former PGA Tour pro Joe Ogilvie Mar 08, 2023

Show notes

This week Geoff and Lawrence are joined by Friend of the Pod, Joe Ogilvie, one of the smartest, most thoughtful guys to ever play in the professional ranks. Joe, once touted as a future PGA Tour commissioner, gives us his thoughts on the tour's proposed schedule changes for 2024, both the good and the baffling, and what one version of the future might hold for LIV. It is definitely an "elevated" discussion. Before that, our co-hosts talk women's college golf, NBC's coverage, and this week's Players championship. We give Jay Monahan's press-Players press conference the Rotten Tomatoes treatment (look away now, Jay!)

McKellar Golf Podcast #68 Geoff Shackelford and Lawrence Donegan, with guest, James Corrigan of the Telegraph newspaper Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

This week Geoff and Lawrence discuss the PGA Tour's proposed schedule for the 2024 season. Elevated events! No cuts! Limited Fields! Does it all sound a little familiar? We break down....sorry ... we break it all down. In our irregular USGA segment, we look at the organisation's new "national development" plan, and at its proposal to allow rich old dudes to run amok at the Walker... (correction: endow the Walker Cup and Curtis Cup for future generations) . Friend of the pod this week is James Corrigan of the Telegraph, who takes a look back at his trip to Mexico for last week's LIV event and looks ahead to what's next for the "renegade" golf tour. It's a bumper show, especially for anyone who enjoys a good "Donald Trump going into the dressing rooms at the Miss Universe pageant" metaphor.

McKellar Golf Podcast #67 Geoff Shackelford and Lawrence Donegan, with guest, LIV caddy Craig Connolly. Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

This week Geoff and Lawrence discuss a great 2023 Genesis Invitational at Riviera - Tiger's appearance (and performance), a compelling Sunday climax, and they dissect the golf course, its genius and its flaws. They also chat about the Netflix documentary and the sad death of long-time rules official John Paramore. Long-time European and PGA Tour caddy Craig "The Weeman" Connolly joins Lawrence to discuss his new life working with Martin Kaymer on the LIV Tour, which starts its 2nd season this week. Don't ever say we're not fair and balanced.

They also take a stroll through the biography of Reed's lawyer and look back at exciting Sunday finishes in Abu Dhabi and Palm Springs. Friend of the Pod Iain Carter of the BBC checks in from Dubai and reports on the mood in and around the Europea...sorry... DP World Tour.

Show notes

Lawrence Donegan and the great Geoff Shackelford look back on a tremendous (and tumultuous) year in the world of golf, from the major championships to the major bust-up between the PGA Tour and LIV golf. Be warned - we only had an hour so we couldn't get round to everything, just highlights (and the lowlights), but as always we had an entertaining, informed conversation.
