NLU Episode 204 - Steve Elkington

I’m only 17 minutes in and this thing is gold. Highlight so far “Some of us don’t forget about Phil. He’s been an asshole his whole life.”

Wait until you get to the Shigeki letter in a couple of minutes. Laughed my ass off all the way into the office after finishing that much on my commute.

Yeah he’s a gold mine, even has Randy taken aback a couple times. Wish we had a hardass on tour still like Elk

Kinda sad they didn’t ask him about coming for Rory’s life on twitter. Might’ve been the funniest podcast NLU has ever done.

I was so waiting for someone to post this thread. not trying to give any thing away but “FAT TITS!”

Steve Elkington might be a new hero of mine. One of the best Pods to date!

So good. Best podcast I’ve heard in a while. Would be an incredible recurring guest.

The story about sneaking up on Monty while he was having a quick snack was gold. “Oh, hello, Colin…”

Sooooo…I may (or may not) have pissed my pants with laughter on my drive in this morning. Elk is a total Beauty. The whole “custard castle” bit with Monty put me over the edge. I haven’t laughed that hard in years.

Absolute gold

I really enjoyed some of the Tiger anecdotes too, like when he told Elk to go kick ass on Sunday at Whistling Straights in 2010. The Lee Trevino and Tommy Smothers stuff towards the end was excellent as well.

I used to dislike Elkington (not even sure why). He’s gone to the top of my list after that pod. Absolutely fantastic.

I don’t care for Elk’s politics, but that’s fine. It’s refreshing to hear someone absolutely unafraid to tell stories and not tow the corporate line.

He was a joy to watch as a player. That swing was a thing of beauty.

That shot to the top of my all-time favorites. Can we get him added as a regular correspondent?

Wow, almost crashed the car driving to work this morning because I was laughing so hard. Any way to get him on the pod more would be a win. Sheesh, the Bubba stuff too? Ruthless. And how he keeps going back to, “so wait, you’re really a Phil guy?”

That is where I am at with him. I really enjoyed the stories and having someone who isn’t afraid to say what he thinks.

One of the best Podcast guests ever, no doubt. Elk is an absolutely phenomenal storyteller. I’ve heard the Monty custard story before, and it just never gets old.

The aussies have always been gold I feel like on their interviews… this was :fire:

Elk = Tron Carter with world class golf game.

Elk on a future Wild World of Golf, either as the on-course reporter or playing

Edit - Him roasting Tron or Randy would be awesome. I feel like a new format is in order. Tron, Randy and Neil in a scramble vs Elk!
