The Dope Stroke Podcast Show

Scottie Scheffler finally switches drivers and wins big - Trottie breaks down exactly what goes on behind the scenes at TaylorMade to get a driver like that in a major champion's bag, and why some players fight it for months. Then we get into LeBron James dropping a golf YouTube channel with 1.5M views out the gate - and why that does more for "growing the game" than every USGA campaign combined. Bubs and Trottie also go to war on the handicap system (it needs to be scrapped, fight us), college golf vs the Asian Tour route for young pros, and Trottie's insane story caddying with the Pop Stroke national champion who read greens like he had x-ray vision. Oh, and mini golf gets formally banished from the sport.🎙️ Dazzler, Trottie & Bubs👊 New eps every week - subscribe, we're not slowing down------------Got a question for the guys?

Bubs is on holiday, so it's Dazzler and Trottie carrying the show this week. Trottie talks about a US member-guest chip-off that descends into a forty-person standoff after a kid turns round when he shouldn't. Someone nearly gets disqualified, and Trottie almost tells the wrong guy to go back to Oregon. From there it's straight into a long drive bracket where he draws the section he privately calls the Thug Group, finds forty extra yards on the range by accident, and somehow makes the final off a driver he wasn't even planning to use.The boys talk about how a rules official's leg turns a playable lie into a gorse bush at the Women's Open, and they ask the question golf keeps avoiding: when the same kind of moment keeps swinging tournaments away from certain players, is that still just bad luck? Trottie takes it back to Costantino Rocca and John Daly to make the point. Infantino's under fire for World Cup ticket prices that would bankrupt a family of four, and the guys ask plainly how much money is ever enough.Plus: Nelly Korda's 66-degree wedge and why she won't hit a shot that doesn't draw, Dazzler falling asleep in the Augusta grandstand after a self-inflicted food poisoning disaster, Charlie Hull's scratch card prank, and the Wilson 8802 tape story Trottie still won't let die.------------Got a question for the guys?

This week on the Dope Stroke Podcast Show, Bubs, Dazzler and Trottie tackle the fallout from last week's Bryson DeChambeau penalty debate, and the Instagram pile-on that followed. The guys revisit the core question they were actually asking: if a penalty only gets assigned because five zoomed-in cameras were trained on one player, is that a level playing field?Using DJ's controversial 2016 US Open ruling as a case study, Bubs breaks down why the same infringement gets punished for a leader under the microscope but waved through for a player mid-pack with no cameras on them at all, and what that means for how golf polices its own rules.The conversation opens out into a wider debate: should video evidence overturn what's decided in the field of play? What happens if this scrutiny hits a player standing on the 18th tee with a two-shot lead on a Sunday? And is golf's rulebook ready for an era of total video coverage?Plus: the guys react to the DMs and comments accusing them of wanting killers released from prison (yes, really), Trottie explains why he's been keeping his opinions in check lately, and a quick-fire debate on the worst cheating moments in sport history.All that, plus aim point etiquette, spike marks on the greens, and why a kid on his third pro start just won a tour event, on the number one golf podcast in the Ivory Coast.------------Got a question for the guys?
