On this week’s episode, we’re joined by the “other” Scott Stallings and his wife Jenny, the two good Samaritans who got the real Scott Stallings’ Masters invitation in the mail. They tell us how the whole mix-up unfolded, and how it inadvertently got them their own invite to Augusta National in April. Plus, Andy Lack, our newest member of the Golf Digest betting panel, joins us to preview the Sentry Tournament of Champions and the rest of the upcoming golf season. 
 

Fresh off caddieing in last week’s Bermuda Championship, ESPN+ and Golf Channel announcer Doug Smith joins The Loop to tell us about the experience. He’s also played Tony Finau for cash recently (only getting one a side!), so Smith tells us what it’s like to play with Finau. Plus, he has some hilarious stories from the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla when he almost took out Jim Furyk in the parking lot and got quite a death stare from Tiger Woods. Plus, the boys celebrate their first Victory Cigar moment in a long time (courtesy of Cuvana) after hitting a college-football total and going a combined 7-2 last week in the NFL.

Join Joshua, Jeb, and host Tony Pellegrini as they discuss teaching, learning, and service at Southern Utah University (SUU).  Dr. Joshua Price received the 2021-22 Faculty Distinguished Service Award. Dr. Price came to SUU eight years ago and has made an indelible impression on the campus community. With a bachelor’s degree in economics from BYU and two master’s
degrees and a Ph.D. in economics, policy analysis, and management from New York’s Cornell University, he uses his extensive knowledge to inspire students by tailoring his courses to their interests. Aside from his work as an associate professor of economics and director of the Health Education Action Lab (HEAL), he volunteers his time to provide color commentary for radio coverage of SUU women’s basketball games and to mentor new football recruits. Josh supports all of his students both inside and outside of the classroom with his knowledge, kindness, and humor.

Dr. Jeb Branin was one of three 2021-22 Distinguished Educator recipients. He is an assistant professor in the Department of Theatre, Dance, and Arts Administration who has taught and nurtured SUU students for 24 years. He has earned degrees from Snow College, Utah State University, and Brigham Young University. He teaches many general education courses for his department, and in the past, taught “English Through the Internet” courses through the MOFET Institute and Talpiot Teacher College in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Additionally, he designed the “SUU in London” program, taking students and community members to London, England, to study theatre. Jeb carefully constructs his courses using the principles of intentionality, interconnection, and reflection and believes that failure is essential to learning. He provides his students opportunities to fail safely and learn by correcting their mistakes.
