Is Golf Becoming Boring?

from The Golf Asylum Podcast with Ian Fraser · host The Fraser Golf Institute

Golf is in one of the quietest stretches of the season—but does the PGA Tour have a scheduling problem, or is it simply struggling to create new stars?This week, the boys discuss why the weeks between The Open Championship and the FedEx Cup Playoffs often feel flat, what makes events like the Ryder Cup so compelling, and whether professional golf is doing enough to build excitement around its next generation of players.The conversation looks at Michael Thorbjornsen's breakthrough PGA Tour victory, the impressive crop of young talent making their way onto Tour, and whether golf has a genuine "star problem" as established names play lighter schedules.Away from the headlines, the guys dive into equipment and coaching, including why the seven wood continues to gain popularity, swing observations from the PGA Tour, what frustrates them most about modern golf broadcasts, and practical practice ideas for creating more width and improving ball striking. They also answer listener questions on club fitting, discuss whether fittings belong on the golf course, and finish with an update on Fraser's return to hitting balls as his back continues to recover.
