Weekday Golf

The Los Cab Cup, Part 1: The Before

Two years ago, a golf trip to Wickenburg, Arizona brought together 44 guys for a long weekend of golf, games, and stories. This year, it became something much bigger. For Part 1, we teamed up with our friend Scott Walker, co-host of The Edge podcast, and recorded live from Rancho de Los Caballeros just before the 2026 Los Cab Cup began: 90 golfers, 22 teams, and three and a half days in the Arizona desert. At the time of this recording, nobody knew how it would go. Could the magic of a golf trip still hold at this scale? Could new friendships form? Would people care more about the golf, or the experience around it? This is the before. Part 2 — what actually happened — coming soon.

What It Takes to Host a Major Championship | with Jason Soucy, PGA Championship Director

This week we sit down with Jason Soucy, Championship Director for the 2028 PGA Championship at the Olympic Club, for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to stage one of the biggest events in golf. Jason takes us inside the enormous scale of a major championship — from building a “startup” years in advance for what is ultimately one week of golf, to coordinating thousands of workers, city agencies, broadcasters, vendors, players, and fans. We talk about the evolution of the fan experience, what makes Olympic Club a special championship venue, how a course is prepared to crown a worthy champion, and what success looks like when the trophy is finally hoisted. It’s a conversation about stewardship, spectacle, and a side of golf most of us never get to see.

When Golf Stops Being Your Future — But Not Your Identity | with Marissa Mar

There’s a moment for a lot of serious golfers where the path changes. You’ve spent years competing, improving, chasing something—and then, at some point, you realize it’s probably not going to be your profession. But that doesn’t mean you stop. This week, we talk with Marissa Mar, a Stanford golfer and elite amateur, about what happens after that decision. We get into the difference between loving the game and needing it, what competitive golf looks like when it’s no longer your career, and why some of the most meaningful golf happens later than you expect.

Golf Friendships — Real, But Different

Golf friendships are real—but they’re different. We talk about what makes them unique: the time you spend together, the “hang,” and how the shared love of the game can lead to legitimate friendships without needing to get into deeper life stuff. We also get into how these friendships form, why some people find a crew and others don’t, and whether playing well matters more than we want it to. At the end of the day, it’s about the people you play with—and why that might be the real soul of golf.

From Thinking to Instinct, with Nic Noya (Part 2)

In Part 2 of our conversation with Olympic Club instructor Nic Noya, we shift from Nic’s playing career to how he now thinks about coaching—and what actually helps golfers improve and perform on the course. Nic breaks down how he evaluates players, why he focuses on ball flight over mechanics, and how he tailors his approach depending on the person in front of him. Through contrasting examples—including how he would coach Oliver versus Preston—the conversation explores different paths to getting better. At the same time, the discussion turns to performance: why playing under pressure often matters more than practice, how competitive environments change behavior, and what separates golfers who can translate skill into scoring. At the center of it all is a key idea: the goal isn’t to think more—it’s to build something you can trust. Nic explains how great players move from conscious thought to instinct, and why neutrality, acceptance, and preparation matter when it’s time to hit the shot. In this episode: * How Nic evaluates players and coaches different players in completely different ways * How tournaments and competition reveal your real game * What great players are thinking (and not thinking) over the ball * How to turn thinking into instinct on the course * Why golf is better—and improvement easier—when you do it with someone Contact us: weekdaygolfpodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @weekdaygolfpodcast YouTube: @weekdaygolfpodcast Twitter/X: @weekdaygolfpod Design by: Austin Wooldridge Music provided by: ⁠https://www.classicals.de/mozart-figaro
