KVV calls in from on site having witnessed Minjee Lee's meltdown, and Yuka's ridiculous shots into the 15th and 16th holes. A fun recap!

Customer Reviews
Saved my Golf Content Life
Before No Laying Up, everything else in the golf contents space was complete garbage. This brand saved my golf life and many of my fellow breathren. I insistently consume this brand nonstop. Although it is not for everyone if you give enough time and go back to and listen to enough older episodes, you start to really like the podcast and know the participants better. Everyone who enjoys the pod should hop over to the trap draw and listen to the episode with Neil when he visits TAIII in Las Vegas.
Array of Hosts Include:
TC always brings the controversial hot takes, he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but he doesn’t go and conform to the consensus of the group making for good banter. Neil (TCs Younger Brother) - Cracks me up. Randy is the voice of reason and someone who has general appeal to the masses, the “Everyman” of the show. DJ and Cody are OK and play the “role player” personas to perfection. Soly (main host) has gotten much better over the years, but sometimes I miss the little flare for not doing this so professionally, but he has good questions and insight and really knows golf. He knows golf statistics as well, but he could possibly describe those statistics (and what they mean) when bantering to give the audience a better idea.
Lastly, KVV, gives the podcast journalistic integrity and he’s very well informed and a fantastic writer. His piece on Victor Hovland is fantastic, he really captures the essence of, Joe Mayo - a golf coach that approaches the game a different way and a coach who doesn’t normally do interviews.
If you’re looking for your standard PGA Tour Fluffer podcast, this is not the place for you, if you want to hear somebody talk about the real issues that affect golf, subscribe and listen.
If on the golf course if you find yourself consistently falling behind or other groups playing through, this is not the show for you.

No Laying Up review
Easily the best golf podcast available. The No Laying Up guys provide insightful information about both pro and amateur golf, they get great interviews with people involved in different aspects of golf( players, course designers, caddies, golf media members, commissioners of both the lpga and pga tours and many others) And their travel series and original content is just fantastic.
Need to be left behind
These guys are all that is wrong with the golf media, totally unable to see any other perspective than their own because in their eyes they can’t possibly be wrong.
