Ep.4: The General, The Cart Girl and Our Producer Tell Their Tales (updated 4/6/26)

Ep. 9: DVC Recap, Member-Guest Magic and the Bracket Battle That Got Heated

The crew is back from a brief hiatus with special guest Gary Wilkerson—men's club leader, member-guest committee member, and the club champion who finally dethroned longtime rival Troy. Gary recaps his nerve-wracking final-hole victory, shares how he landed at the club during COVID, and breaks down the value-adds he brought to this year's member-guest: a record $34K Calcutta, on-course sponsors, hats, and that beloved cocktail station on five. The guys recap the Diablo Valley Classic (DVC) then dive headfirst into the new buddy-pal knockout bracket, drafting a hole-by-hole, team-by-team prediction battle complete with upsets, Cinderella runs, and trash talk—plus a pitch for a full March Madness–style selection show.

Ep. 8: Fire, Fairways & Farewells — The All-Star Episode You Didn't Know You Needed

JD and Brett bring the heat (or should we say fire?) with an all-star lineup featuring Pete Schuman, Greens Committee Chair and secret Aquaman; John Bevin, the man turning cart-cleaning into a life lesson; and everyone's favorite server, Audrey Butler, who's trading Contra Costa for coral reefs at the University of Hawaii. Along the way: a bear raids Brett's Bronco in Tahoe, Mrs. McCormick asks a winemaker about his hair, and Aaron Strout rolls in for a quick bocce update. The course is playing the best it has in 30 years. Don't miss this one. It's fire. (Not on fire. Fire.)

Ep. 7: The Contra Costa Kid: Carl Campos on Baseball, Basketball and Finding His Game

In this week's episode, JD and Brett sit down with Carl Campos — architect, club legend, and self-described late bloomer. During the conversation, Carl shares his journey from segregated El Paso to Cal Poly to Contra Costa. From watching future NBA stars integrate Texas basketball to discovering golf after years in the gym, Carl's stories are as big as his handshake.

Ep. 6: Cart on Fire, The Old Course and the Straw that Stirs the Drink(s)

This episode covers a lot of ground. We start with board member, John Sala and The General recounting the story of their cart catching on fire and burning to the ground while playing in Las Vegas. Then host JD McCormick and our producer, Aaron Strout, sit down with Gordon Keyden of The Royal and Ancient (R&A) course in Scotland to talk about the birthplace of golf, The Old Course and differences between the game in the UK and the US. Finally, JD and Brett Thomas walk down memory lane with CCCC legend, Luis Escobar, one of the mainstays of the Club's dining room.

Ep.4: The General, The Cart Girl and Our Producer Tell Their Tales (updated 4/6/26)

This episode is a fun one. You'll hear part one of a long and fascinating conversation with one of the club's most beloved members, The General. Next come stories from someone you always love to see out on the course, Aury (pronounced "Audi"). And finally, you'll also hear from our producer, Aaron. He talks about how he got started with podcasting back in 2006 and surprises JD and Brett with a few of his famous guests including the keyboardist for the Rolling Stones, Chuck Leavell.
