Wilber and McCormick, Tag Team Unscripted #7

In this pre-holiday episode, Dave introduces his new puppy, Walter, named after Walter Woods, venerable course manager at the St. Andrews Links. Peter laments a depressive nosedive since he lost his dog, Frosty... coupled with short day length and the upcoming holidays, both of which can be emotionally problematic for many people. He relates his challenges with Christmas tree stands this year, in particular. Moving on to turf, the talk ranges from Toro's newly introduced autonomous fairway mower all the way back to F-10s, HF-15s and Parkmasters. Dave recalls being considered a rebel when topdressing before aerating, and both Dave and Peter applaud the rising role of equipment managers. Peter waxes poetic about his Ooni pizza oven and the challenges of creating a great dough, along with the social benefits of making pizza for dinner guests... before announcing that he has given up mushroom coffee in protest of Facebook group censorship.
