Off Course is back this week with a fantastic show and this is episode 276. Hosted by Dan Edwards, each Friday he gives you a deep look into the world of golf and equipment in a way unlike any other podcast has done before. Today, THP Forum Member amarkabove, joins the show in a unique conversation about falling in love with the game of golf and what it is like having nearly a full year lead up to the Grandaddy of Em All with Callaway Golf.
It wouldn’t be Off Course without some tangents, but Dan and amarkabove dive into many topics including who exactly is the 2025 Grandaddy Captain and the idea of a brand having something intriguing for everybody. This show has a lot going on and is one you will not want to miss as amarkabove from the THP Forum goes Off Course.

Episode 276 is here and Dan and amarkabove discuss the following topics and a whole lot more.
Who is the 2025 Grandaddy Captain?
Falling hard into the game
Golf’s funny way of having location based course preferences
Callaway’s products to always have something intriguing
Breaking down the 11 month lead up to the Grandaddy
And so much more

Sorry guys. It seems there was an issue earlier with the distribution of the podcast. I didn’t notice because I was watching on YouTube or would have caught sooner. Hoping its resolved in an hour or so as its been resubmitted.
In the mean time you can listen right from the article page or the side panel on the forum if you don’t want to look at peoples mugs haha

Should be all good on Apple and Spotify now. Thanks for saying something [USER=41109]@THE BOV[/USER] [USER=53139]@Templet0n[/USER]
Just fired this up a few minutes ago!
While I’m happy to get the shoutout, I’m so glad you are getting to know Cap here. The videos I’m a part of doesn’t do these guys justice fully getting to know them. This has been a great listen so far!
What a question at the end for [USER=75272]@amarkabove[/USER] ! Damn!!
Spectacular episode gentleman [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] [USER=75272]@amarkabove[/USER] ! Convo seemed effortless!
Always great to learn more about our captain. I enjoyed it so much on my drive over to play with [USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER] and [USER=62865]@Scooby45[/USER]
Dan shot a bogey free 64. It was magical to watch.
Halfway through and this one is a good one…watch out [USER=68899]@AT_CG[/USER] this guy might like to dance!!! Show him what the Nest is all about!
This was a great listen this morning. Getting more and more excited for this each day.

Cap bringing up Game Gear codes was not on my bingo card this morning ?

Loved that part lol
The Sudbury Pomegranate Pomeranian sweater in the background was a solid choice.

I may or may not have been a dancer in my youth. The world will never know.
Just watched. Excellent job [USER=75272]@amarkabove[/USER]

Great episode, the discussion was really good and they had an audio quality battle going between two solid mic setups.

Solid Sudberry Blueberry Bulldogs jersey in the background too [USER=75272]@amarkabove[/USER]

That, and no less than 5-6 guitar cases in the background, were the first two things I noticed. :LOL:

5-6 seems like a reasonable number. Let’s go with that.

We are going to need a fire beat for [USER=79855]@Michael.Sandoval33[/USER] and the bus Cap.
Great episode, Cap! Getting more excited each day.
This was a very cool episode! I can’t believe cap [USER=75272]@amarkabove[/USER] has been here for that little time. It feels like years more! I still remember when you started being active and the way you jumped in. Kudos to the way you’ve gone hard on a hobby, like you said in the episode.
[USER=2320]@Canadan[/USER], I’d love to hear more from Experience captains or long tenured members, if and when it feels like there would be a good convo.

Just watched. Started up again in 23…that’s crazy.[ATTACH=full]9390771[/ATTACH]
Great episode, fellas!
Really good listen. Cap has had a long haul steering this ship but we’ve set our course for The Hideaway and there’s no looking back. Full speed ahead.
