Hosts Kenny Mayne, Brian Baumgartner and Cooper Manning are looking for just one thing: someone to fill out their Saturday morning tee time. Join them each week as they talk to their famous friends who all have one thing in common: their love (and oftentimes hate) for the game of golf. They care less about swing speeds and spin rates, and more about who’s the biggest cheat their guests have ever played with, or what the perfect golf vacation looks like. It’s the podcast version of a round of golf with your buddies - if your buddies were comedians, actors, athletes, musicians, and other celebs.

He breaks down how he went from hating golf on his very first round to building Vibes Golf Club, a community aimed at changing who shows up on the course, and co-hosting We Know Ball, a show built to bring golf to people who'd otherwise never tune in. Plus: the saga of his five broken drivers this year, his ongoing campaign for left-handed golfer rights, and why he's still chasing his first round in the 80s while playing nearly every day.","meta_description":"Melvin Gordon still thinks about the 41 yards that kept him from passing Barry Sanders' rushing record — and how that ties into his love for golf.
