2026 PGA Merchandise Show & Joe Takes His First Golf Lesson in 25 Years

·1 hr 7 min·4 clips

Cobra’s 3D-printed irons use lattice structures inside the head to move weight and change performance.

The show opens with Nick and Joe trading updates and settling into the usual back-and-forth. Joe's first golf lesson in decades becomes the anchor for the episode, mostly because it is hard not to notice how strange that is after such a long stretch. They cover a PGA show trip and some news and notes before drifting into the off-season training report. A reminder to rate and review the show comes up more than once, with the kind of urgency that suggests the hosts have seen enough four-star behavior. The episode also has a truly epic Mad Golfer of the Week, which gives the banter some bite. From there, the talk turns to motorized push carts and whether they are useful, annoying, or just another expensive thing to manage on the course. One host is openly skeptical of the whole category. The other thinks a lighter, battery-assisted version that still behaves like a normal push cart makes more sense. That leads to a longer argument about hills, late-round fatigue, and what actually feels useful on a real course. They also touch on rental carts showing up at a local course and how people react to them in the wild. The conversation stays grounded in everyday golf annoyances rather than glossy equipment talk. There is room for jokes about bad golf, bad backs, and the strange dignity of caring too much about a small piece of gear. Near the end, the tone stays loose and practical instead of polished. The hosts wrap by telling listeners to get out there and practice, whether that means hitting into a screen or going to the range. The episode closes on the familiar note that 2026 is here and it is time to get ready.

As heard by us

A loose golf hang that keeps travel, lessons, and push-cart debate in play.

Nick and Joe turn a PGA show stop in Orlando into a golf chat that starts with travel and settles into gear, lessons, and the sort of roundside frustration that feels familiar.
