   The CUP Stays With US

   The President’s Cup is over, but DA and 15-year Tour Caddy Mick Middlemo are still breaking it down — because apparently watching competitive golf once wasn’t enough. On this episode of Tales From The Tips, DA and Mick take a deep dive into Team USA’s performance at the President’s Cup, examining the players, the pairings, the pressure, the course conditions and the strategies that made foursomes look either brilliant or completely maddening. They break down individual performances, the challenges of team golf and what the experience could mean heading toward the next President’s Cup at Kingston Heath. The guys also tackle one of the more frustrating parts of modern golf: fan behavior. When the competition gets intense, the galleries can become part of the story — sometimes for all the wrong reasons. And because this is Tales From The Tips, there’s no chance the conversation stays on golf. DA and Mick jump into the PGA Tour fall series and DP World Tour, talk about the challenges of the foursomes format, make their baseball playoff predictions, and react to some seriously unexpected performances around the NFL. Add in Mick’s caddie perspective, DA’s takes, a few personal stories and plenty of sports-world nonsense, and you've got another episode that refuses to stay inside the ropes. Golf. Football. Baseball. Foursomes. Fan behavior. Predictions. Pressure. And a caddie who has seen just about everything. That's a pretty normal day at Tales From The Tips.

   From Titles to Chapter 11...Golf is Hard!

   From NFL football taking over Australia to the latest twists and turns in professional golf, DA and 15-year Tour Caddy Mick Middlemo cover a lot of ground in this episode of Tales From The Tips. The conversation starts Down Under, where the NFL’s recent events in Australia spark a bigger discussion about the cultural impact of sports and why some games travel better than others. From there, DA and Mick head straight back to the golf world, breaking down the Biltmore Championship, BMW PGA Championship, standout player performances and the unique challenges that come with life inside the ropes. Then things get really interesting. With the Presidents Cup in the spotlight, DA and Mick dig into the international team, the strengths and challenges facing both sides, and what it takes to perform when the pressure gets turned all the way up. They also tackle one of the biggest storylines in professional golf: LIV Golf’s Chapter 11 filing and what it could mean for players navigating an increasingly complicated professional golf landscape. Can players move between tours? What pathways exist for golfers trying to get back into competitive events? And with the professional game still working through its evolving structure, where does that leave the players, caddies and fans trying to make sense of it all? Add Mick’s firsthand caddie perspective, DA’s questions, plenty of golf opinions and the usual Tales From The Tips humor, and you’ve got another episode that goes well beyond the scorecard. Football in Australia. Championship golf. Presidents Cup pressure. LIV Golf. Caddie life. The future of professional golf. Because apparently, golf needed more plot twists. Watch or listen on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeart Podcasts.

   Check 1.2.3...YEP Scottie is GOOD!

   Golf, politics, Presidents Cup snubs, Tour Championship drama… and NFL predictions? Yep, DA and 15-year Tour Caddy Mick Middlemo went there. On this episode of Tales From The Tips, DA and Mick Middlemo tee it up for a wide-ranging conversation that covers everything from charity golf and member-guest tournaments to the biggest storylines coming out of the Tour Championship and the future of the PGA Tour. First up, Mick shares stories from his recent charity golf outing before the boys look ahead to the chaos, competition and questionable decision-making that comes with every good member-guest tournament. Then it’s time for the Tour Championship. The guys break down Scottie Scheffler’s dominant performance, what separates the best players mentally, and the enormous pressure that comes with being the guy everyone expects to win. Is golf more about talent, preparation or simply being able to keep your brain from becoming your own worst enemy? From there, DA and Mick zoom out and take a look at the PGA Tour season as a whole, including where professional golf is headed, potential changes to the Tour, and the complicated relationship between players, tournaments, memberships and the people who actually get to decide where events are played. The conversation gets especially interesting when they dive into the challenges facing historic golf courses, the politics surrounding tournament hosting, and why getting an event on the calendar can involve a whole lot more than just having a great golf course. And then comes the Presidents Cup. The guys break down potential team selections, player form, who deserves a spot, and which players could be left wondering, “What exactly did I do wrong?” Expect plenty of opinions, plenty of debate, and absolutely no shortage of armchair captaincy. Finally, because apparently golf wasn't enough, DA and Mick jump headfirst into the NFL, making predictions for the upcoming season and weighing in on teams, players and potential surprises. Golf analysis. Tour politics. Presidents Cup debates. NFL predictions. Basically, it’s another episode of Tales From The Tips where the only thing more unpredictable than a member-guest partner is the conversation. 🎙️ Watch or listen to Tales From The Tips on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeart Podcasts. #TalesFromTheTips #GolfPodcast #PGA #PGATour #ScottieScheffler #TourChampionship #PresidentsCup #Golf #GolfLife #GolfTalk #GolfPodcast #NFL #football Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Setup 03:04 Mick's Charity Golf Experience 06:04 Upcoming Member Guest Tournament 09:05 Tour Championship Overview 11:59 Scotty Scheffler's Performance 14:54 Mental Challenges in Golf 18:00 Tour Championship Takeaways 20:59 Reflections on the PGA Tour Season 23:57 Future of the PGA Tour 26:49 Closing Thoughts and Highlights 32:19 The Politics of Golf Tournaments 34:06 Historic Golf Courses and Their Challenges 35:31 Team Selections for the President's Cup 39:20 Analyzing Player Performance and Selections 43:03 The International Team's Prospects 44:49 Transitioning to NFL Predictions
