If you’re a course architecture aficionado, a private club enthusiast, or just love hearing about new gems in golf, this episode is for you. Plus, there are great personal stories, can’t-miss signature holes, and plenty of reasons why you should add Broomsedge to your golfing bucket list. Stick around to the end for some fun rapid-fire questions and insights into what makes the game of golf—and the Broomsedge Golf Club experience—so special.

You might think “flat and cold” when you hear Nebraska, but Brett’s here to set the record straight—Nebraska is packed with hidden gems, offering everything from rugged sandhills retreats to challenging links-style public tracks like Landmand and Indian Creek.

Brett shares his unconventional journey from broadcasting hopeful to full-time promoter of Nebraska golf, giving us a peek behind the scenes at how the game is exploding across the state—yes, even with that short Midwestern season. The trio swaps travel stories, discusses must-play courses for your Nebraska itinerary, and lets you in on why places like Prairie Club and Sand Hills continue to top bucket lists (even if they take a five-hour drive to reach).

You’ll hear about Brett’s most memorable golf shots (and, okay, some not-so-glorious moments), the unique camaraderie and growth happening in Nebraska’s junior golf scene, and why golf here is so much more than a game—it’s about people, community, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re chasing albatrosses or just love great golf stories, you won’t want to miss this one.

From creating some of the most exhilarating modern courses to redesigning beloved classics, Tim and David share the inside scoop on what it really takes to craft courses that are as fun as they are challenging.

You'll hear about the inspiration behind the legendary Bad Little Nine at Scottsdale National, the unique challenges and rewards of building a course from scratch versus working with natural landscapes, and why making a course playable and enjoyable is always at the heart of their design philosophy. The conversation also digs into what makes a golf course memorable—not just for low handicappers, but for every golfer looking to find joy (and maybe a little humility) in every round.

Course Corrections - Episode 3 - Breaking 90 at The Old Course!!! Robby and Jonathan are back with another episode of Course Corrections! They take us on a candid journey through their pursuit to get better at golf. Picking up from Jonathan’s initial fear of being told “you suck so bad” by a golf instructor, we follow his breakthrough after taking his first lesson—and how it fundamentally changed his approach to the game. From revisiting the basics with his gap wedge to embracing body-driven swing mechanics, Jonathan shares his aha moments and the sometimes hilarious perils of golf practice.

The episode covers more than just technique: the guys get real about their own struggles with consistency, motivation, and sticking to training regimens like The Stack System. Jonathan openly admits to his ups and downs—days he felt like quitting golf entirely, emergency calls for lessons, and unexpected victories. There’s a heartfelt celebration when he finally achieves his goal of breaking 90, and not just anywhere, but at The Old Course in St. Andrews.

Of course, the conversation dives into experimentation, like Jonathan’s ambitious “nine-iron experiment” with single-length club shafts. Robby and Jonathan also reflect on lessons learned from playing with accomplished golfers, smarter decision making on the course, and the real weight of data from tools like Arccos.

Whether you’re a weekend hacker or someone on a mission to lower your handicap, this episode is packed with laughs, honest assessments, practical takeaways, and a reminder that the real joy in golf often comes from the journey—and the company—you keep.

]]> Join Robby & Jonathan as we gather a stellar lineup of golf aficionados for a gripping BestBall Roundtable previewing the 2024 Masters. In this episode, we convene beneath the shadow of the iconic pines of Augusta National to slice into the heart of golf's most anticipated tournament.

Feel the hallowed grounds come alive as our guests, including golf enthusiasts Mark, AJ, Jason, Joe, and David, gather around the mic with hosts Jonathan and Robby. They'll cycle through Masters traditions, share personal anecdotes dripping with history, and even extend an invite to Jonathan's legendary Augusta get-together—a haven for putting green aficionados and swimming enthusiasts alike.

Dive into the intricacies of pimento cheese sandwiches, sip on the allure of economic concessions, and revel in the quirky must-haves at the exclusive Masters' pro shop alongside our fellowship of the green. Who dropped almost two grand on Augusta souvenirs? Tune in to find out.

So, come for the camaraderie, the respectful nods to history, the technology blending seamlessly with tradition, and an appreciation of Augusta National's serenity. From those stepping through its gates for the first time, declaring it "heaven on earth," to the seasoned patrons reliving the 2005 Tiger Woods triumph, we've packed this preview with strokes of insight and reflections from every corner of the golf world.

Fill your divots, adjust your visor, and prepare for an auditory journey that will leave you reaching for your Masters chair. All this and more on the latest edition of the BestBall Roundtable.

Get ready to hit the proverbial fairway with our latest guest, Bryan Tweed, as we journey through the intersecting worlds of golf and film on The Hole Story Podcast.

Bryan steps onto our green with whispers of a John Daly movie and dreams of a Tiger Woods biopic, igniting a wave of silver-screen nostalgia and spirited dialogue. Join us as we reminisce about the fond memories of movie store visits and the simple joy of watching films unfold.

Our conversation then arcs perfectly onto the course — diving into Bryan's cherished golf shots, his adoration for Pinehurst No. 2, and his growing golf destination bucket list featuring Pebble Beach and Cypress Point. We'll also humor a debate on which golf brand would best fit Kramer from Seinfeld.

Ever active with his 9,100-strong Twitter following, Bryan shares how social media has served as his tee box for incredible auction opportunities and bonding over birdies, with upcoming rounds at exclusive courses like Marion thanks to these connections.

But it's not all about the strokes; as Bryan, Jonathan, & Robby highlight the importance of camaraderie on the golf course and the life stories shared between each hole. Adding a personal touch, Bryan reminisces about meeting his wife to the backdrop of "Anchorman," unwrapping his love for movies and his go-to snack combo of popcorn and a large Dr. Pepper.

Beyond the laughs, Bryan immortalizes his dream foursome with beloved family members and delves into film critiques from "The Godfather" series to the exemplary work of director Christopher Nolan. With an impressive track record of 545 golf courses played (probably more by now) and a dream to reach a thousand, your hosts encourage you to follow this golf aficionado's journey on Twitter at @BrianTweed16.

Join us on The Hole Story Podcast, where we traverse the fairways with Bryan, shedding light on the unsung golfing gems across the Midwest, the allure of short par-three courses, and the key to sustaining the golf boom with new strategies.

We talk about his love of golf, photography, and the great people he meets on and off the course.

But, wait - there's more! We also talk about the challenge of playing 18 or 36 holes of golf a day, playing fast, and managing the logistics of a trip like this. Life on the road isn't always smooth sailing - broken ACs (yes, multiple) in the RGV, unpredictable weather, and having to edit photos, do social media, and respond to emails after a long day of playing golf. We did get a quick peek inside the RGV to see his growing collection of golf memorabilia from his course visits. So, buckle up and get ready for a roller-coaster ride of humor, insight, and plenty of golf!
