Introducing 3 Putt Bogey

3 Putt Bogey is a golf podcast hosted by Chuck Bryant and Adam Pranica, two mid handicappers who are just good enough to know exactly how bad they still are. The name says it all: one great shot, followed immediately by the kind of self-inflicted disaster only a mid-handicap golfer can produce. That's the whole sport, really, and this show lives in that gap. Every week, Chuck and Adam break down their most recent rounds, dig through the bag, and try to actually get better — which is harder than it sounds when social media serves up an endless, contradictory firehose of tips, drills, and gear you're told you absolutely need. They'll talk about what's actually working, what's total crap, and what happened when they tried it on the course anyway. Expect gear talk, course recaps, golf movies and video games, rules debates, questionable gambling picks, and a healthy amount of self-inflicted misery, all in service of two guys trying to shave a few strokes off their game and laugh about it along the way.

  And I'm Adam Pranica of The Greatest Generation and Greatest Trek.

• 1:25Chuck Bryant?

  We decided to start a golf comedy podcast because we're both big golf lovers and we wanted to spread that joy and it's called Three Put Bogey.

• 1:33Speaker 02

  It's coming from the perspective of golfers who are sometimes good enough to hit two great shots in a row, but almost never good enough to hit three. And a three-put bogey is kind of the purest expression of that. Every golfer knows what that's like.

• 1:47Chuck Bryant?

  Yeah, I mean, that's kind of the show in a nutshell. Obviously, we're gonna talk a lot about the game of golf that we love so much, how absurd it is and how fun it is and how just, you know, it's vexing and frustrating. But more than anything, just how much we love the greatest game in the world.

• 2:02Speaker 02

  We love it anyway.

• 2:03Chuck Bryant?

  We're putting these out every Friday morning for your weekend golf routine. Yeah, Adam, I wouldn't hit a shot the other day in front of the cart girl.

• 2:14Speaker 02

  Let's talk about the meltdown a little bit because at this level, it is so much less about making birdies.

• 2:21Chuck Bryant?

  Yeah.

• 2:22Speaker 02

  And so much more about avoiding doubles and triples.

• 2:27Chuck Bryant?

  It's the curse of where I am right now, which is truly great shot, truly terrible shot. It's weird how much it changes from shot to shot at this point.

• 2:38Speaker 02

  This is a show about sharing our experiences on the golf course and how absurd and funny they can be.

• 2:45Chuck Bryant?

  Yeah, and you know, one thing for sure we're gonna do every week is our personal golf journeys because we come from a couple of different places. I'm here in Atlanta, playing basically weekly casual rounds with some of my oldest friends and shooting like in the low to mid 90s still.

• 3:01Speaker 02

  And I'm playing a lot of club tournaments in Los Angeles, which for some reason, hasn't managed to take all the fun out of my game. We're trying to make the golf podcast we want to see out in the world.

• 3:11Chuck Bryant?

  Exactly. I would listen to this show if I wasn't me.

• 3:15Speaker 02

  And that's what Three Putt Bogey is.

• 3:16Chuck Bryant?

  Is Three Putt Bogey, everybody, out every Friday. You can find it on the iHeart Podcast app or wherever you get your podcasts.

• 3:24Speaker 02

  So just to, just to paint the picture here, you went to a driving range with a, with a golf club covered in Saran Wrap and painter's tape?

• 3:33Chuck Bryant?

  Yes, yes, yes.

• 3:34Speaker 02

  Did you take pictures of this?
