Hosted by broadcaster Shane Bacon, Get a Grip is a golf-centric podcast making light of a rather stuffy sport with legitimate insight into the game. It’s essentially the public golf course of podcasts. The show will offer a look into the PGA Tour week in and week out and have some fun at both the players' and golf fans’ expenses.

Get a Grip with Shane Bacon

Shane Bacon and Andrew Putnam return as the PGA Tour's regular season wraps up with this week's Wyndham Championship. To start, the two break down Andrew's performance at the 3M Open ahead of the Olympics. Andrew discusses his walk-and-talk interview with the CBS broadcast on Saturday and what he thinks he found on Sunday that allowed him to rebound to close out that tournament. After that, Shane and Andrew turn to the current FedEx Cup standings, as Andrew sits ranked 73rd in the race for the Top 70. The two talk through Andrew's mindset going into this week at the Wyndham, changes in his preparation with a new caddie on the bag and what goals he is looking to accomplish during one final playoff push. To close out this episode, Shane and Andrew share observations about the current crop of college graduates and young players on the Korn Ferry Tour and how these players seem to be better prepared for the PGA Tour than in years past.
