In this episode, the Great Predictor Steve Johnson and Minnesota Tim Parochka take a look at the Valero Texas Open and wonder why players play it in to prep for the Masters when the courses aren't very similar. Then the guys explain why it's musical chairs on the PGA TOUR and they finish up discussing the early favorites for the Masters.

I’ve always enjoyed story telling by producing radio features that are generally distributed by US, UK, or Canadian Networks to affiliated stations.   I just heard this week’s Valspar Championship preview targeted to the English-speaking audience in Africa and could not resist sharing.

Over the last week, we traveled to Palm Beach Gardens where Sepp Straka won his first PGA TOUR event, and where Zach Johnson was named by the PGA of America as the next Ryder Cup Captain for Team USA. 

This morning, the Valspar Championship held its media day preview featuring defending champion Sam Burns who was in Tampa before heading here to Orlando for the Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by Mastercard - an event that is now without its defending champion Bryson DeChambeau as the Florida Swing rolls on.   

Rick Gehman of RickRunGood.com joins the “Be Right” boys to give his insights on TPC Summerlin, a course he’s played multiple times recently. Gehman explains how to handicap this week—after hitting Sam Burns last week in the GolfDigest.com experts’ picks column. Steve Hennessey also hit Sahith Theegala as the first-round leader at the Sanderson (80-1)—so the boys look to stay hot as the Vegas Swing kicks off. Plus, we have competing hot takes for the first time in podcast history—so you don’t want to miss out!

As always, be sure to check our final bets in the GolfDigest.com experts’ picks column, where we have predictions from an anonymous caddie; Pat Mayo, Gehman, Brandon Gdula, Lee Alldrick and Gehman.

This week all four guys are back to catch up on things in the world of golf, both professionally and personally. After spending two minutes on the WGC tournament in Memphis, the group talks about golf in the Olympics ... and go completely off on a tangent that connects Rickie Fowler to F1, why breakdancing is an olympic sport, and what events make up the modern pentathlon.

Oh yeah, the golf. Brian loved the back nine of the final round drama in the women's tournament, including the horn for a weather delay while they are on the 71st! hole.

After that we spend the second half of the podcast talking about recent golf we've played. Brian broke down his round with Colin at a parent-child alternate shot tournament, Doug had a round at the ultra exclusive Sanctuary Golf Club outside of Denver, Dave brags about his kids' performances at the Drive, Chip, and Putt, and Todd took his daughter out to the course for her first experience.  (I can't stress enough ... all of these stories were great, but most reinforce just how great relationships with your kids can be.) Hope you listen!

On today's episode, we congratulate K H Lee for his win at the Byron Nelson. Before the deluge of rain Sunday the players absolutely drowned the course with birdies, so Brian and Doug break down why TPC Craig Ranch played so easy and whether this type of scoring is good for golf viewers.

Brian also bitches about CBS' coverage of the rain delay, we air out the NCAA for their handling of the women's regional, and break down a few items from Spieth's recent interview on the No Laying Up podcast that resonated strongly with us.

Finally, we talk about if a hole in one from the red tees counts and if the golden age of movie making is a lost art in this current realm of CGI'ng everything.

In this week's episode, we welcome Doug back into the fold after a few weeks of celebrating the birth of his son, Isaac. He provides us with a few nuggets of new fatherhood before we dive into the world of golf.

We celebrate Sam Burns' win at the Valspar and wonder at the awkwardness of Keegan Bradley's golf swing.

Next we dive into a course review of The Grizzly, just outside of Cincinnati, OH and the troubles Todd found himself in throughout the round, and Dave's near miss for a closing eagle.

Then we conclude the golf portion of the show with an animated conversation around the issue and impact of dress codes in golf, what their purpose is, and are they barriers to bringing new golfers in, especially women and juniors.

Finally we conclude with Brian ranting about his driver woes, his son's recent soccer goal, something Doug found unexpected as a new parent, and Dave's excitement at his daughter Sara using golf as a way to strengthen friendships. Todd tried to tell a story about downspout gutters but he was shut down. Do better next week Todd!
