If you were scrolling through golf-related Twitter last Sunday looking for opinions on FedEx St. Jude or LIV Greenbrier, chances are the algorithm served you something entirely different, an endless string of opinions and thoughts about an entirely different golf event unfolding in real time: the demise of “Country Club Snob,” a parody account that had attracted more than 30,000 followers by posting (often hilarious) opinions on “mid-level” country club life.
If you’re still scratching your head after reading that paragraph, you’ve come to the right place. This week on The Loop podcast, we’ll analyze to the best of our ability this Golf Twitter frenzy you didn’t know you needed in your life. And if you’re interested, you can also check out my in-depth analysis of the situation on TikTok. Fasten your seatbelts, because this is a great story.
Of course, there was a lot to talk about last weekend, including Hideki Matsuyama’s rollercoaster Sunday in Memphis and Brooks Koepka’s stunning fifth win on the LIV Tour. Alex Myers, Stephen Hennessy and I also discussed what to make of the FedEx Cup Playoffs and shared some early predictions for the BMW Championship.
But most importantly, our intrepid producer Greg Gottfried chatted with the one and only Shooter McGavin, aka actor Christopher McDonald (his “real name”). This is, if we do say so ourselves, an A+, jam-packed episode. Be sure to give it a listen below and make sure you like and subscribe to The Loop wherever you listen to podcasts.
