Birdie Board Podcast
Golf Is Better With Friends.
The Birdie Board Podcast is a show about the game of golf and the people who play it. From major championships and rising stars to weekend matches, golf trips, equipment, course design, and the traditions that shape the sport, we explore why golf is more than just a game.
Each episode focuses on the stories, moments, and friendly competition that make golf meaningful, whether you’re following the pros or teeing it up with friends. If you enjoy the banter, connection, and shared experiences that come with the game, this podcast is for you.

Episode 19: Penalty Areas Explained - Red Stakes vs Yellow Stakes
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Episode 19 of the Birdie Board Podcast, Corey breaks down penalty areas in a simple, practical way. You’ll learn the difference between yellow stakes and red stakes, what actually counts as “in” the penalty area, and the two core decisions you always have: play it as it lies, or take one penalty stroke and use your relief options.
Corey walks through the exact drop options for yellow stakes (back on the line or re-hit) and the extra option you get with red stakes (two club lengths). He also covers common real-world situations like uncertainty about whether your ball is actually in the penalty area, identifying your ball in messy spots, what you can and cannot move, and what happens when your attempt to play out of the penalty area goes sideways.
