Interesting maneuvers
So neil shows up, starts with the fact that he has no idea whats going on and doesn't know what to say, then just goes rough shot allllll over every episode that he is allowed on.. he's on board. KVV? The journalist that took this show to a completely new level as far as story telling and reporting goes?? Has to go?? Guess I'll just keep listening less and less - sigh* Bad move.

“Don’t let your job define who you are” - KVV
The chokie
“Listen”
“Listen” is the new “Um” - it’s a ridiculously overused verbal tick co-opted from bad sports shouting shows. I had AI analyze your last 1000 hours of audio and you lead the league in starting sentences with “listen” among qualifying podcasts. You’re better than that.

Right again, TC
… Scotty is nothing when it comes to winning. Heck, look at Yipsy. Every time Yipsy won, Yipsy went out and banged another diner waitress. Sucked down another quart of overpriced booze. Screwed another Sin City call girl. Did another line. Yipsy knew then - and still knows now - how to put winning in its proper place and reach the pinnacle of greatness. *** TC’s screaming echoed around the globe at Tommy Boy slowly choked on the back nine, ending in his three putt on the 72nd hole that gave Keegan the victory and $3.6 million paycheck and forever classified Tommy Boy and TC as Losers on the PGA Tour. How sweet it is!

TC gotta be better when acting like he knows all the grasses about these places… Cannot say Riv has bermuda rough. It’s kikuyu and so so so different than bermuda and is a very central element to Riv. Just standard ballknower stuff.

Language
I enjoy that golf talk but I don’t understand why you can talk golf without the bad language.

Muni Episode
Great episode on Muni‘s. Little fun fact Ken Venturi‘s parents ran the pro shop at Harding Park for many years… I think.
Also, when do we get sun sleeves with the NLU logo in the Merch shop?

Not too much gambling talk
I have long tried to find a golf podcast, but most of them just talk about gambling, which is not interesting at all to me. I appreciate that this one keeps the gambling talk to a minimum

Always Pushing Content Forward
The NLU boys are fantastic and consistently try new formats, platforms, and mediums for content. Can’t recommend enough to the golf sicko.

Argentina dreamin
Woke up in Denver to another spring snowstorm. Listening to the Argentina trip and the grilled meats, flowing fanta and unspoiled old school golf and thinking I should be there now. Thanks for sharing.

Sound & Vision
The Sounds of the Masters pod was brilliant guys. What a way to experience Rory's win a second time. All-time favorite!

Sounds of the Masters
The Sounds of the Masters episode is simply the best podcast I have ever listened to.

TC is the Frankie of NLU
I used to enjoy No Laying Up, but I just can’t listen anymore because of Tron Carter. The guy makes everything about himself, and it’s exhausting. Take a look at him on tonight’s 3rd round recap. What started as a great golf podcast with insightful takes has turned into a sideshow where TC dominates the conversation with his opinions, tangents, and forced humor. He reminds me of Frankie from Barstool—constantly trying to insert himself into the story instead of letting the content breathe. It’s frustrating because the rest of the crew brings solid analysis and good discussions, but TC derails it too often. I’m out.

Pick a side
I don’t understand.. you dog Rory each tournament there’s always a what if. Then when he plays well you dog him again. Either be a full supporter or get off the train.

Wrong more often than a coin flip
Low low low level of discussion that hits the sweet spot for the totally uninformed.

NLU Got Me Back Into Golf
Insightful and funny. I stopped playing golf in high school because it was so stuffy, and this podcast was the catalyst for me playing again. Great cast of personalities on the show. Shout out KVV and the narrative podcasts.

Long-time listener pushed over the edge
You guys have been incredible for years from your criticisms making real change in coverage to the to the greatest comradery I have found on the airwaves. The reason I’m leaving this review (a thing I have done only one other time to my memory) is because of, on top of all that, KVV’s narrative pods have been brilliant! They stand out and above almost everything else I listen to. I put them on the level of Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History. Thank you all for your work.
P.S. Can’t wait for next year’s Scavenger Hunt and your Goals pod is the best piece of content you do in my opinion. For some reason I am also compelled to say, I go back and watch the Stapped: California episode 1 about every 4 months. The ending with Jon Prine’s ‘How Lucky’ playing gets me every single time. I appreciate what y’all do.

I’m not crying. You’re crying.
KVV’s piece on Calvin Peete is riveting! I’m crying in my car. I can’t let my wife see me like this. I’ll have to explain how a golf podcast wrecked me on the way home from dropping off our daughter at school. It’s ok though. I’ll get to share what I just heard, and one more person will know about the incredible existence of Calvin Peete. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Best Golf Podcast out there!
An enjoyable listen every time….the guys clearly love the game and are true fans. The content keeps getting better and better ….like the tee time special projects and the majors deep-dives as just a couple of examples. Keep up the great work!

First time I’ve ever listened to a podcast and as soon as it was over I immediately restarted it and listened again.

Good show. Just skip the ads.
Funny that these guys are so pro-roll back but have no issues taking that Titleist money and going into ads about the “new” Pro-V1. Overall, Pretty enjoyable show once you skip the ads.

Golf Spotlight
I loved this episode, Had no clue TC and Neil were brothers and I’ve been listening for 2 years! Loved the backstory and the goals of a realistic golfer! Please continue to do more of these! Loved it !!!

Great Journalism
Ever since LIV-PGA Tour split happened I’ve slowly cared less about the week to week events from the tour but with the NLU deep dives and special projects it keeps everything fresh. The stories of golfers like the NYC guys trying to get bethpage tee times to the deep dives of majors/players keeps me reeled in. Nothing against the Valero and events like it but when NLU goes out of their way to make their own projects it’s much more interesting than what the tour can provide.

Great food deep dive!
Loved the episode with Keith. So cool to hear what these guys like to do off the course.

Good for news/golf inside info
The good:
Good source for golf news, the guys can be funny/entertaining, and the interviews/deep dives are informative and interesting. When the guys are into a tournament it can be a great recap/banter. I especially enjoy how they do 4 live shows for majors/players which typically are the best episodes.
The bad:
These guys come across as casual golf fans sometimes or that they didn’t even watch the recent tournament. I get some PGA events are weak, but these guys usually have no interest in talking about golfers who aren’t the big names. They just will be like “why should I care about this event” which will kinda stink when you’re 5 minutes in and can tell the episode is gonna barely be about the recent tournament. I enjoy watching golf and talking about it, seems like it’s a chore sometimes for them. Also I would appreciate more DPWT/global golf conversation (again these guys don’t care unless an event has the big names) but I understand I may be in the minority there. Maybe they lost interest because they’ve been doing it so long, but seems like weekly recaps talk less and less about the tournament (unless it’s a signature event/major) and talk more about their personal games/endeavors. When the show is good and the guys are vibing/actually interested, it’s a great listen.

Used to be great
This was once a great, insightful podcast into the world of golf from an outsiders view. They are now part of the golf establishment and it’s sad to see. I’ve tried to come back several times but, sadly I’m finally done.

The criticism of former commissioner Samaan only comes out in force only after she is gone. Need more contemporaneous honest takes. Be willing to take the heat in the moment. Even if it damages relationships.

Stop the sap
Please stop these KVV sappy over-dramatic pods. It’s unlistenable. The banter between hosts is what got me hear. KVV solo is awful and awkward. For the love of God, stop.

E-9 segment
You need to find a new name for the E-9 segment. Stealing it from Golf Subpar. Buschleague move

You probably need to be American to enjoy this
I was trying to get some insight into the president cup. Limited options out there. I could only stomach about 10min before I gave up.

More Jordan Deep Dives
Love the podcast, especially women’s golf coverage as well as men’s. Last episode on history of the Women’s Open was great and would love to hear more historical and other content from Jordan and others on the women’s game.

Experts
Probably played on their high school golf teams watched a lot of golf on TV now they are self proclaimed “experts“ foul mouthed punks

Voice golf NEEDS
I’m a little shocked by some of the 1-2 star reviews from people who just don’t get it or totally misconstrue a conversation..
The guys don’t have to hold your same opinion on EVERYTHING lol

Golf Sponsorship 101
Golf Sponsorships 101 was excellent. Would love to see a 201 or some other hybrid business interests episode during the off season. Would love to know the angle from the host club’s perspective for playoffs, majors, presidents cup etc…

Sports washing works
KVV is a great addition. I am disappointed that the rest of crew have come to embrace LIV. To call out Sally Jenkins and her editorial on Bryson was shocking!

Incredible episode from KVV. Thoughtful and insightful about a taboo subject.

A complaint about their complaining
It’s no doubt these guys are knowledgeable and offer great insight on players, courses, tournaments, etc. But my god they find a way to either hate on, complain, or whine about…players, courses, tournaments, etc. at every opportunity. It’s hard to listen to at times but informative and entertaining golf podcasts are hard to find so there’s no other option.

Performative?
I watch golf to be entertained! Is Bryson that awesome that he can switch between authentic and inauthentic? Kind of a bonehead stance. Still yet, I enjoy the pod!
