   S2E35- The End of the Season

   On this season finale, the boys start the pod catching everyone up with what they've been doing in their golf worlds. Not much from Josh, but Reed got out to an outing with friends and gagged with his putter. Then, the guys share some big news they've been sitting on. They've found a home for their podcast: The Spark Podcast Network! More content coming from the I Hate This F***ing Game boys throughout the year! Hell yes! Next, Reed and Josh turn their attention to the Tour Championship at East Lake. Viktor Hovland does his damndest to win, but he fought his swing all weekend which lead to the number one player in the world and the Player of the Year, Scottie Scheffler, to swoop in and take the crown. Absolutely well earned and the stats from Scottie's year were really and truly unbelievable. We are all witnessing something historic. In Golf News, the guys looked at the Presidents Cup rosters. Both teams are pretty stacked, but who has the edge? Reed and Josh also dip their toes into the Good Good controversy. What is the problem and what can be done about it? In the last piece of news, LeBron James takes his golf obsession to the people by sponsoring an event and promoting the game to the youth. Love to see it. Reed and Josh wrap up the episode with some Questions from the Internet. One Reddit user wants to know if he was not following proper golf etiquette. The guys look at what courses or golf regions are underrated? Which are overrated? Lastly, they discuss what it means to be clutch on the golf course. All this and more on this week's (and season finale) show.
