We sure did, and that's why we're taking a break to share laughs over a YouTube poll about voting and the barrage of political texts that have been clogging up our phones. Join us as we joke about launching a mass text campaign featuring Joe’s remarkable golf snaps for some much-needed relief.

    Switching gears, we couldn't resist exploring the captivating contrasts between classic East Coast golf courses and those in the ever-bustling Las Vegas. Imagine the thrill of playing a round where crossing highways is part of the charm, a rarity for us Vegas golfers. Our journey continues with tales of local happenings, including our excitement over Biderman logo merchandise.

    There’s a buzz about upcoming events, including a unique edition of "The Match" featuring non-golfers like Ken Griffey Jr. and Mark Wahlberg. We're betting on the unpredictable dynamics to spice things up, especially before the TGL kicks off on ESPN in January. Recent outings at Paiute Wolf and Revere Concord stunned us with their pristine conditions despite a few three-putt frustrations. And as we approach our milestone 300th episode, we’re ready to unveil our 2024 Vegas golf rankings.
