Flashlight on Little Sluman, Ryder Cup mayo sandwich, new Tour health guidelines

Published: May 13, 2020, 3:20 a.m.

This Wednesday episode goes in several different directions, from news of the day to two separate \u201cFlashlights\u201d at the end. Brendan and Andy begin with some reactions to the PGA Tour\u2019s health guidelines and policies that were sent to the players on Tuesday in a 37-page deck. They got a look at the deck and pulled out some of the more substantive, amusing, and concerning points as things prepare to return next month at Colonial. Then they get to the further details of the match at Seminole, including reactions to not having to hit the fairway on the two long drive holes. The fearsome foursome that now makes up the US Ryder Cup captaincy group is reviewed, and it appears Zach Johnson is heading for the main job. They demand more spice, some new blood. But is this now a closed loop of captains and assistant captains or are there just not that many options out there? Then they transition to two short Flashlights, first on the 1994 Shell\u2019s Wonderful World of Golf at Sunningdale between world No. 1 Greg Norman and No. 2 Nick Faldo. They praise the compact product, player interactions, and legendary course. A second Flashlight shines on the 1988 PGA in what would have been PGA week. Jeff Sluman\u2019s win and career is given the treatment, as well as the odd history of the \u201888 venue, Oak Tree National, and the \u201cOak Tree Gang,\u201d a prelude to the #JupLife collective.
