In Episode 355, the guys dive into a massive gear and instruction download. Matt shares the details of his recent in-person putting lesson with highly regarded coach Preston Combs. From realizing he was trying to "hit an 8-iron 160 yards" with his putter to fixing his posture and tempo, Matt gets a "snap of reality" about his flat-stick game.

The conversation then shifts to bucket list golf, as the guys reminisce about the Bandon Dunes Solstice—walking 85 holes in a single day—and debate which course at Las Vegas’s Paiute Golf Resort offers the "dopest experience" for first-timers.

In this episode:

  • The Preston Combs Experience: Matt breaks down his lesson, utilizing Vertex Golf technology to analyze tempo and why he is switching to a 33-inch putter.
  • The "Cruising" Stroke: Why you shouldn't push through to the finish like Ace Ventura sliding into a parking spot.
  • Course Talk: A breakdown of the Snow, Sun, and Wolf courses at Paiute, plus news about a new King Collins course coming to Kohler.
  • Banter: The guys discuss the new Japanese egg salad sandwiches at 7-Eleven and why Episode 354 vanished from Spotify due to a copyright snag.
  • Housekeeping: A shift in YouTube strategy with the launch of the new "Chasing Daylight Clips" channel for short-form content.
