We've got an absolute beauty this week with the one and only, Tron Carter, from No Laying Up.
In this week's episode, we take a deep dive into how Tron and the No Laying Up crew create amazing golf content and how it all began.
Never one to hold back, Tron brings the heat and we're thrilled to share our little chat from the couch.
It's been a wild week in professional golf, and although this episode was taped before the LIV/PGA TOUR merger, there's still a ton of nuggets in this episode.

After a couple of weeks off from the podcasting, our crew is back in the studio to catch up. In this episode, we learn a little more about Pricey's near miss at a US Open Local Qualifier, and his travels to bucket list courses around the Northeast. Speaking of travels, our boy Matty was roaming the fairways at Oak Hill for ESPN+ during the PGA Championship. So we take a dive into his time inside the ropes following Jon Rahm, Cam Smith, Matt Fitzpatrick, Phil Mickelson, Ricky Fowler, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa and The Postman himself, JT Poston!
Solid lineup there.
We're also treated to a a little cameo at the office from the backbone of Live Forever Golf—Scott Toole!
Enjoy yourself.

It’s been a wild couple of weeks around the studio. We just moved from the Live Forever Golf garage into a new office space and we’ve been a little tied up with decorating the new digs.

On the couch today we’ve got—Will MacKenzie, Cam Smith, Tom Hoge, Billy Horschel, and The Mayor of Tempo Town, Chris Kirk—all here sharing their deepest darkest secrets!
Enjoy.

We’ve been kicked out of the garage, but the casting couch found a new home at Live Forever Golf HQ, and we’re thrilled to bring you our first episode from the new location!
In this episode, we chat about the USGA’s decision to alter criteria for exemption in the US Open, taxes paid overseas for LIV Golf events, and a classic prank Matty pulled on Riles.
It’s also member guest season in the south, so we recap Pricey’s recent trip to Baker’s Bay, where he almost took batting practice from Tim Wakefield.
Inspired by Talor Gooch’s recent run, we also work in a little Taylor Swift talk as well!
We hope that you enjoy the show.

We’re back on the couch this week to chat about world ranking points, LIV Golf, and little league baseball playoffs!

Meanwhile, our boy Spencer Levin bags his first Korn Ferry Tour win, so we share a few of our favorite Spencer stories to celebrate.
So, join Scott, Matt, and Aron for another honest and hilarious takes on the game we all love.

Joining us on the couch today is one of the the PGA TOUR's most trusted employees, and a true student of the rules of golf, Mr. Stephen Cox.
For the last 15 years, Cox has served as a rules official at the highest level in the game, and in this episode we dive-in to slow play, some of golfs unwritten rules, player fines, and a few war stories from Matt and Aron's time on tour. In fact, Every shares a little history with Stephen, and we get a couple of gems from their run-ins on and off the course!
While umpires and referees are sometimes the punching bags for the professionals in other sports, Stephen's role serves to protect not just the player, but the entire field of play.
Their hours are ridiculous during tournament play, and we truly respect the jobs that all officials perform for all the tours.
We really enjoyed this one, and we hope you do too!

We’re delighted to be joined on the couch this week by an international golf star, a broadcaster, and one of the nicest guys to be around—Graham DeLaet.

After retiring, Graham jumped into the booth to help off the course with TSN and PGA Live. But more importantly, he’s got more time now to spend skiing and doing dad stuff with the kids in Boise... he's also got one of the best mustaches on the planet!
So, we take time to talk about all things golf and the stories that come with it. Graham opens up with us about his much-improved health, some takeaways at the In this episode we chat about the recently concluded Masters, changes with the golf ball, and taking phone calls on the course.

We're back this week with our very first chat with someone from the golf media. He's not only a journalist, he's an INXS aficionado, and the pride of St Andrews, Australia, Mr. Evin Priest!
Evin currently covers the Aussie beat on both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, which allows him to bring a fresh perspective on the current state of both tours. With so much division in the professional game, Evin felt it is was crucial to cover both tours, and offer a fair take by reporting on the future of professional golf with rival tours.
In this episode, we cover a variety of hot topics, and Evin shares a few of his stories from the road. Including nuggets like his Open Championship celebration last summer at St Andrews, where he got to drink from the Claret Jug and blast INXS with Cam Smith!
He's the first guy we've met that's taken an Uber down Magnolia Lane, and we really enjoyed getting to know Evin Priest. We hope y'all enjoy!

Welcome to Tempo Town, all caddies welcome!
We’re joined this week by the mayor himself, Chris Kirk, to chat about his recent win at The Honda Classic, his rotation of caddies, bullpen sessions, and how to pause at the top of your backswing.
After an 8 year draught, Kirk is back in the winner’s circle, and talks about how instrumental his caddie was to that win. Hint, it wasn’t Pricey.
Some might call it a sliding door moment, but Aron Price can fully claim Kirkie’s win after leading him to an MC at the Waste Management Open, and a WD at Riviera.
Having played many rounds together over the years, Matty and Pricey bring up some great stories from the past, and chat about Kirk’s time at UGA.
He’s got bros in different area codes. Please welcome, Chris Kirk!

We sat down with Tom Hoge before the start of The Players to reflect on money games in practice rounds, his breakthrough win at Pebble Beach, and the future of the PGA Tour.

With a sparkling weekend at Sawgrass, Hoge rose to #24 in the Official World Golf Rankings, and #1 in our hearts.
