ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the nolanga podcast my name is dj uh this is it's our sunday episode technically but it's gonna be a lot different than our normal sunday episode that's because we're off filming a season of our travel series tourist sauce and so what you're gonna get tonight is actually part two of our deep dot our deep deep deep dive on architect extraordinaire pete dye if you've not listened to part one That should be the previous one in the feed. Go check that out. Me, Neil, and Charlie Van Kirk having a lengthy chat about Pete's bio. The first couple courses that we wanted to cover, we're doing this as kind of a history of Pete Dye and 10 golf courses. So we covered the first three.
In episode one, we're going to cover the rest of them here in episode two. Lots of fun. Excited to get into the remainder of our research today on this episode. Before we get started, I want to give a shout out, as always, to our friends at Titleist, presenting sponsor of this here podcast. Like I mentioned, we are off shooting our travel series of Tourist Sauce right now. I'm probably standing somewhere in Scotland right now with a GTS2 driver in my hand, maybe even feeling whiffs of confidence off the tee for the first time in quite a while. I got fit for the GTS driver. it's been a couple weeks now i feel like i'm i finally have have worked out any kinks i'm used to it i'm ready to rock uh and it's it's been truly delightful i just checked my arcos right before this i'm actually gaining shots with my driver for the first time in quite a while i ended up getting fit like i said into the gts2 it was a good fitting process because a lot there's a lot of combinations there's a lot of stuff to uh look into a lot of levers
you've got weights in the front you've got weights in the back you've got a lot of different combos uh which just leads to a lot of uh different improvements i i have what i would call a little bit easy power don't have feel like i have to swing out of my shoes to still get the ball out there which is maybe you know the dispersions become tighter with the weights in the back feeling more stability it's a great combo of speed and stability and it's been really really fun to hit off the tee and i hope i'm standing in the middle of a fairway right now uh after just striping one but If you have not been fit recently, there's a good chance you're leaving performance on the table. So head to Titleist.com to find a GTS fitting near you.
Let's get on with the program. Part two, guys, our Pete Dye deep dive rounds for home. We're doing part two tonight. Sun's going to be going down behind me. It's a little Pete Dye after dark. Which is fitting. We've got some characters in this half. Neil, how are you? Ready to go, man? Oh, man. I just want to shout out to anybody that's going back to back on these. It's listening to it, you know, a week after we put them out because we're going back to back, baby. Had a little dinner, had a little witching hour. And now now we're going to get into it. All right. I'm doing fantastic. Let's go. The kids are asleep. The high noons have cracked. It looks like you've got a little summer shandy, a little taste of Chippewa Falls going on over there.
I just sounded like, yeah, it's just like a cold summer beer sounded like something that Paul Dye would be into. I love it. Maybe Paul Jr. as well. You know what? He was into it. Yeah. Yeah. Up to a point. Up to a point. Okay. Charlie. Charlie Van Kirk is here as well. Charlie, what's up? Good evening. Characters, welcome. Ready for this round two. Excited to throw Neil as many curveballs as we can. Yeah, let's do it. Let's get right into it. If you missed the last episode, go back and listen to it. But if you refuse to do so, we talked a lot of biography. of the great man, Pete die.
