I apologize in advance because this came to us organically and didn't really have a name ready when we were recording it. So welcome to The Dad Golf Trip Bible. You can definitely expect the same banter, however, we are doing a series to help you on your next golf trip. Hambino and the Golf Trip Junkie are experts in this area so we thought we would bring that to you!

In our very first episode we have a guest joining us. Followers of the pod will recognize the voice of Greg from our Episode 6.

On this episode we talk about Greg's favorite trip (Pinehurst), his best budget find (Greensboro, NC) & his dream trip (Scotland)  

Many of you have heard us talk about Western Scotland and since The Open is next week so we are on a Scottish fix. We do have a small spin though. Instead of going on our typical Par, Birdie, Eagle we are going Hidden Gems, Not on the open rota and Open Championship courses. With the first episode in our rota we are going courses around Glasgow. Most of these are on the Irish sea but we did through in one or two recommendations that aren't in Ayrshire (I promise). Check out this episode and please rate us 5 stars!

With the Ryder Cup right around the corner we continue our episodes on building out the perfect Dad Golf Ryder Cup. If you didn't catch last weeks episode, we talked all about formats for Dad's to play with their younger kids. This week we are talking about where we would go. It is a little different than our typical Golf Trip Bible, but we still go through a Par, Birdie & Eagle locations. Take a listen and let us know if we are missing one of your favorite places! 

Its playoff season... well for some of us it is. If the College Football Playoff hasn't made you a bitter and hostile person (like Sauce & Hambino), this is a fun spin. We look at the best cold weather spot, best warm weather spot, the best international trip and the best budget golf trip you can take. For such an ambitious undertaking we need a guest. And who better than Ben at Kid Caddie to help us out. Make sure to check out our polls on instagram and vote for your favorite. 

Hambino and Sauce are joined by Allan from Golf Pops Classics to take a look at golf trip destinations across the USA.
