Marty lost a ball on a par 3. Four of us watched. Also: the case against your 3-wood, and a poll.
Breakfast Ball
No. 214 Monday, Sept 14
A golf podcast. Recorded Thursdays in a garage in Columbus, Ohio. Out Mondays.
Marty lost a ball on a par 3.
Four of us watched it. It’s still gone.
Morning. Short one, because the episode is long and most of it is Marty.
Thursday at Ridgeline, the seventh, 146 yards, 8-iron. Good swing, good sound. Four grown men watched it against a clear sky and, at some point, stopped. No water on 7. No real rough. We looked for eleven minutes, played on, and open the show with it. We do not get to the bottom of it.
Then: Dez on why your 3-wood is the least honest club in your bag, Marty’s spreadsheet nobody asked for, and a mailbag question about using a rangefinder against your own father. We took it seriously. Mostly.
Thursday, 9:40 pm. Marty (right) explaining where it went. Dez (left) not accepting it.
Dez Okafor
14 handicap. Believes he’s a 9. Bought a driver in March and another in June.
Marty Lindqvist
6 handicap. Keeps a spreadsheet. Lost a ball on a par 3 this week and would like to move on.

Your 3-Wood Is Lying to You
Dez v. the 3-wood. Marty v. a spreadsheet. A ball v. physics.
Back in lime. One size. The egg is stitched, not printed.
The egg tee
$32
Heavyweight. “Take it again” across the back, small.
Marty packed and shipped the last run himself, which is why two of you got the wrong size. He’s sorry. Code EP214 is $5 off through Sunday.

Provisional Cold Brew
Coffee for your second first tee shot.
“This week’s episode is presented by Provisional, and for once that’s not a sentence I’m reading. It’s cold brew in a can. It fits in the cart. It is the only reason the 6:40 tee time is possible for me as a person. Marty drinks it black. I’m not going to say what I do to mine.”

The match · week 3
Closes Sunday
Beat Marty.
We put the seventh at Ridgeline in your phone. 146 yards, three shots, closest to the pin. It plays in the browser; there’s nothing to download. Marty is at 7’2” and has mentioned it twice. Beat him and we read your name on 215. Dez is at 11’4”. Nobody needs to beat Dez.
