PGA leadership change, Scottie season “asterisks,” and Vanity Handicap advice | The Shotgun Start

Brendan and Andy close out the month of June with this Friday episode ramble on Seth Waugh’s sudden departure leading the PGA, some on-the-ground intel about deliberate backboarding setups on multiple tours, and discourse around Scottie Scheffler’s season getting into nitpick territory. They attempt to “flip it” to a new area of scrutiny with the world No. 1, namely a self-correcting driver. There is cutthroat corner for one player in Detroit who somehow snuck in the field despite not being a competitive player for the past few years. They close it out with robust SGS Golf Advice on how to deal with a vanity handicap and what constitutes actually “playing golf” when in negotiations with your significant other.

We want answers regarding the disappearance of the shed! Where is it?

Day 4 of asking Andy why he isn't in the shed.

[@Nadia_Milkova]

If you want to "asterisks" Scottie's season you have to "asterisks" everyone's season on LIV too. When Koepka won on LIV, Scottie, Rory, Aberg, Hovland and Schaffle were not there: Therefore Brooks's win should have an "asterisks" next to it. The logic goes both ways.

ANDY STOP INTERRUPTING BRENDAN FFS IT'S SO GOD DAMN ANNOYING
edit: some of your interruptions are egregious as well, like Brendan is reading a golf advice email and he's just getting into it and here's Andy with his 20th, "Hey, can I ask you a question?" interruption. I bet Brendan hates it as well and it's really annoying to listen to.
