Episode 50: The Golf Bucket List...What's On Yours?

08/18/23 • 55 min

It's a milestone as we reach the recording of the 50th episode of the Flagstick Podcast.

As such, while we run through some of the latest golf news from the region and Canada, we put a lot of focus on the back nine for this show.

There we talk about Golf Bucket Lists. You know the ones; the course we want to play, the milestones we want to break, the other goals we would like to accomplish.

Jeff and Scott run through some of their bucket list items while encouraging listeners to share some of theirs on the Flagstick social media channels.

We talk about past list items for us, ones we still want to take on, and even explore the emotions that tie us to the items that we all put on our lists.

We also reveal the winners from the TaylorMade Golf contest from earlier this year.

Next Episode

Episode 51: CPKC Women’s Open, Tour Championships (PGA TOUR and PLAY Junior Golf Tour), and Over/Under Par Game

Tournament season is winding down for some golf tours and ramping up with some big events for others so there is plenty to talk about on this episode.

On the Canadian front, we give a full recap of the Flagstick.com PGA of Ottawa Tour Zone Championship, the PLAY Junior Golf Tour Kevin Dickey Tour Championship, along with the results of the Flagstick.com Cup on that junior tour.

We dive into this week's CPKC Women's Open, Canada's only LPGA TOUR stop, to discuss what we expect from the course, the players, and especially the Canadians. That includes a new look for Brooke Henderson and a look at the parts of the game where she has had some issues compared to last year.

We discuss the PGA TOUR's Championship and conclusion to the FedEx Cup race, including our favourites, dark horses, and some opinions on the format.

We have a game to close out the show, with Over Par/Under Par opinions of a variety of topics that often divide golfers, or at least cause some discussion.
