It is a first of the month recording for the Shotgun Start, which means extra pep and enthusiasm. Brendan is joined by Joseph LaMagna to discuss the Rocket Mortgage Classic, specifically what “hypnotherapy” is and why it is working for the winner in Detroit. They also discuss how this could be the blueprint for a PG-B Tour event with its nice field mix and good Sunday leaderboard from it. They discuss Cam Young’s rough Sunday, snapping his driver, and the discourse around him being unable to win. They also hit on Akshay’s three-putt to lose and  his current positioning for the Presidents Cup alongside many others outside the auto-qualifying spots. The odd finish on the DP World Tour is cause for a separate chat on what it means to be “choking” in golf, but that’s after they discuss what may be the greatest backboarding moment of all time, one so bad it’s good. The U.S. Senior Open will bring us Blandemonium Monday, which is a thing after producer PJ jumps in with his notes on the weekend in Newport. News hits on Nelly having to WD with a dog bite and Chambers Bay entertaining the idea of hosting a LIV event with the USGA perhaps leaving them out in the cold.

The Shotgun Start with Andy Johnson and Brendan Porath of Fried Egg Golf is a podcast waiting for you early in the morning that quickly blasts through a variety of topics (usually) related to golf and (ideally) relevant to the day. It covers news from the pro tours around the world, amusing and important topics from the amateur game the rest of us play, and some irreverent stuff in between. There will be short interviews, previews, reviews, and dives into the archives. It provides what you need to know on golf through a rapid and fun catch-up discussion.
