Ep 2 - When Golf Gets Tough: Brookhaven, Bad Breaks And The Rise Of A YouTube Golf Tour

Episode 2 of Divots & Skins is all about adjusting when the course refuses to let you get comfortable. Jake and Brett talk through their early rounds at Brookhaven in Greenfield, N.Y., a course that has already forced both of them to rethink club selection, course management and the urge to pull driver on every tee box. They also get into birdie tracking, breaking 90, Jake’s chip-in birdie and why golf can feel like one big Rubik’s Cube. The episode also covers a few practical golf rules, including embedded ball relief and whether stakes can be moved when they interfere with your swing. Then the conversation shifts to the growing world of YouTube golf, including Grant Horvat, the Bryan Bros and the launch of the Your Golf Tour. Is it good for the game? Is it entertainment, competition or a potential circus? Jake and Brett have some thoughts. A little course strategy, a little rule talk, a little ranting about pace of play and plenty of amateur golf honesty.
