Inside the Grass League with Ethan Casto & Cody Roth
This week, Hawleywood sits down with Ethan Casto and Cody Roth of the Grass League: the world’s first high-stakes, par-3 golf league that’s flipping traditional golf on its head. Every hole a par 3, two-person scramble teams, city-based franchises, and events played under the lights in front of thousands of fans. It’s part sport, part spectacle, and it’s growing fast.
Ethan and Cody break down how the league works, what it’s like competing (and building) inside this new format, and where they see Grass League heading next. Whether you’re a die-hard golf traditionalist or just curious about golf’s answer to pickleball, this episode has something for you.
