    Travelers was a blast to watch. But one thing that the broadcast noted was how the sign boy (er, standard bearer) was replaced after the fifth playoff hole because he was exhausted. Do you really need that guy at all in a playoff? Everyone on the course knows who the players are, and their overall tournament score is meaningless at that point. Just a weird golfy thing.

    They never mentioned if they swapped on-course cameramen and audio engineers or not, but the folks walking back and forth on those last couple of holes seven extra times have to feel it in the hamstrings this morning.

    There was an LPGA playoff a couple years ago that I think played the 18th hole seven times or something like that without ever going to another hole. When "sudden death" backfires ...

    It was like Ghost Golfers in the Sky. Condemned to chase the devil's ball, across the endless 18th hole.

    Is @NoLayingUp just a content farm for a real estate hustle? Who's behind that?

    Just searching around, it almost appears to be a Jayski-for-golf kind of venture. Four guys with other jobs who love golf enough to brazenly call up people in the industry and do podcasts.

    And why would I be surprised Bam Bam's agent is named FALKOFF?

    They rent out a house at Sweetens I believe, but I think they make their money in podcasts and videos. It's like a mini Ringer or Barstool for golf.

    some of their content isn't bad but their Tour coverage is much too fanboy for my liking.
