Film Room: Roger Steele vs TC at Castle Pines

+1. Dude is a menace. Also this course is sick

Edit: didn’t realize it was a Nicklaus design. Leaving room for it to be the only good Nicklaus course, but major points deduction

Let me introduce you to a little tournament known as The International. Played on this course with a stableford scoring format. Legit one of the best 5 non-major events on the schedule.

I wish I was a golf sicko back then. Hopefully there’s some YouTube deep diving (spelunking even?) to be done

This will wet your appetite

Speaking of Rog, scrolling through his GHIN and recent rounds, hitters only in terms of courses.

Medinah, Olympia Fields, RHF, Shinnecock, Whistling Straits, Castle Pines, HALLA, Bluejack, Bandon.

Loved the leave a birdie putt short, owe everyone 5 bucks rule. I would go broke so quickly.

He really is an elite trash talker because it’s a nice blend of subtle “You are not rolling it like someone who is three down” and vicious “tell me you want it” and everything in between. Having different quips for different moments oozes cool.

There are for sure different paths and types of cool, but putting Roger Steele next to members of the “cool” golf social media company shows how uncool golf is. Golf could use more personalities like Roger Steele.

NLU’s content would be significantly better if TC was not part of the group.

It was his third design so maybe that helps. They’ve done a lot of renovations over the years too.

Was TC’s hat in honor of United Airlines?

Edit: just seen them as “Airline” cap in the shop.

No way. Gotta have at least one guy who is a little over the top in some ways, it livens everything up and adds levity to everything. Plus villains give everyone someone to play off of. If he’s a villain, that is. But he’s actually a great guy. And anyway, it’s an entertainment product.

I don’t need a villain in my golf recap podcasts. Also I have personal reasons that I’m not crazy about the guy.

Are you an executive at American Airlines?

This is quite something to just drop here. But maybe I’m reading it too harshly.

Crazy take, TC flew to the UK on a whim for Tommy Lad and facetime’d into the pod from the airport. Built different
