Welcome to our first-ever "post-show" podcast. Currently, we're calling this the "After-Show," but who knows if that sticks around.

Thank you for being a subscriber to CDP Premium! We hope to have much more content on this side of the CDP! FYI, these are raw, unedited conversations that have zero agenda, besides adding some golf content, at the same time, non-golf content to your life!

Thanks again!!

The best golf stories usually happen between tee times. We start with an NFL‑boosted charity auction that lights up the leaderboard, then dive headfirst into the places and moments that make golf trips unforgettable: Dismal River’s off‑the‑grid calm, Gamble Sands’ magnetic remoteness, and that magic Sandhills light that turns a golden hour into two. Along the way, we break down why Nicklaus’ White and Doak’s Red at Dismal feel so different yet complementary, and why template holes—Redan, Biarritz, Road—still thrill when a muni squeezes them onto small, sloped greens.

If you’ve ever debated stay‑and‑play convenience versus a zigzag road mission, you’ll feel seen. We weigh the comfort of Bandon‑style hubs against the chaos of dirt roads, sketchy motels, and last‑minute reroutes that become core memories. Expect practical tips too: shoes that actually work for wet mornings, bug defenses that survive Midwest summers, simple filming rigs that stake into turf, and the low‑tech medical kit that can save a walking day. We even confess our gear gripes, like “wireless” chargers that still need wires, and share the easy content wins that help you remember the putt your buddy spite‑threw into a lake.

The stories get real: a lip‑out “ace” that stopped on the rim during a tournament, generational hole‑in‑ones on the same green, and post‑ace rituals from burger dogs to pub takeovers funded by the “dollar‑per‑yard” rule. We map compact, high‑yield routes in Wisconsin—Sand Valley, SentryWorld, Lawsonia, Erin Hills, Geneva National—and sketch a cross‑border dream from Banff’s cliffhanger par‑3s to Gamble Sands’ big‑sky drama. Hidden gems pop up too, including a Jerry Pate favorite in Alabama and thoughtful Carolinas picks that reward a short drive off property.

If you love golf travel, course architecture, and the kind of road stories that turn into tradition, press play. Then tell us: are you team stay‑and‑play or team road warrior? Subscribe, share with your foursome, and leave a review so more golf‑obsessed travelers can find us.
