Nice

Chill plus insights. Plus gotta love anytime a host throws a little shade at oil companies.

Good

Clayts and Shack do a lot of moaning but Rod balances them out with his upbeat attitude. Maybe a little too much ball roll back talk but the architecture side of things is great, even if I don’t enjoy wide open golf courses.

Great GOLF (not PGA tour) podcast

Great podcast about golf! The conversation is about golf, architecture, issues, etc. and not merely focused on the US or European tours. The drinking game (roll back the ball) is fun too!!

Never Miss an Episode

State of the Game takes on the relevant issues of the game, and does so with a group of some of the most respected voices in the game. The team at State of the Game doesn’t just talk to hear themselves talk, they are knowledgeable, informative, insightful and they know how to cut through the nonsense.

One of my favorites

These gentlemen are some of the best minds on golf today. They inspired me to make a trip to the Melbourne Sandbelt in the next few years and think about the game different. They challenge the game to improve without being overly negative. Adrian & Rod are great but the best pods are when Michael Clayton joins.

Fun podcast but

This is a really nice podcast, but the host often turn into old curmudgeons from the muppets. With them, older is always better. They bemoan the passing of the hickory club and hate everything new. It can get annoying at times.

State of the game

A great way to listen to a collection of architects and architectural golf critics on what is good and bad going on in the world of golf.
