Did Luke make the right call with his money digs? How badly did Keegan blunder with his Justin Rose / Justin Leonard faux-pas?
The guys discuss all of that and more on today’s ep.

The Ryder Cup Commute - Day 1 - LIVE from Bethpage

It’s another huge week in golf which means it’s time for another series of ‘Commutes’ from The bunkered Podcast.
Michael McEwan is in New York state for this week’s Ryder Cup match at Bethpage and, on today’s episode, he’s joined by bunkered’s senior writer Ben Parsons to discuss their early impressions of the golf course and the surrounding set-up.
The guys also get into the biggest talking point of the week so far: the $500k payments to each American player and their captain Keegan Bradley. Is this, as Ben puts it, an “unfathomable mistake” for the hosts to have made?
Tune-in now and every day this week!

As well as picking a winner, the guys also try to predict who some of the pairings may be and weigh up exactly just how abusive the home fans might be.

The Walker Cup needs to do something radical (or does it?)

Another Walker Cup, another US win. Last weekend made it five in a row for the ‘Stars and Stripes’.
So is it time for the match to get a Ryder Cup-style shake-up? Or maybe enlist the support of some of the game’s best-known pros? Michael, James and Lewis discuss on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, there’s reaction to Rory’s win in Ireland and a warning to fans, as well as news of another tour pro’s premature retirement.
Oh, and Michael would like to apologise to Ryan Fox in advance.

Did Luke Donald get his Ryder Cup picks right?

Okay, so here it is. We now know the 12 players who will represent Europe in the forthcoming Ryder Cup, with captain Luke Donald naming six picks to go with the half-dozen who qualified automatically for his side. But did he get those decisions right? 
Michael, James and Lewis debate that on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast. 
Who was the most contentious decision? Who might still withdraw from the match? Which players have the most legitimate case to be miffed at missing out? And is the European Tour less valuable in a Ryder Cup context than ever.  
Tune-in to hear what the guys think about all this and more.

Captain Keegan’s Ryder Cup risk - but will it pay off?

So, Keegan Bradley will NOT become the Ryder Cup’s first playing captain in more than 60 years. The US skipper has opted not to give himself one of his six picks for the upcoming match at Bethpage.
But is that the right call?
Michael, James and Lewis debate that decision and weigh up the merits of those he did pick… and those he didn’t.
Elsewhere, what’s next for Tommy Fleetwood now that he’s finally a PGA Tour winner and what convinced Lewis to heckle Luke Donald at the Scottish Open?

BONUS POD: Happy Gilmore 2 full review (with spoilers!)

At long, long last, Happy Gilmore 2 is here. The much-anticipated sequel to the 1996 comedy smash landed on Netflix this morning, with Adam Sandler reprising the titular role.  
Michael, James and Lewis got the popcorn out and sat down to watch it the minute it dropped before recording this pod with their unvarnished, unfiltered, kneejerk reactions.  
How well did it blend in all the cameos? Was it as good as the original? And did they steal the idea from Michael?!  
Have a listen and decide for yourself... 
(Also, Scottie Scheffler: ‘Champion Golfer of the Year’ and Best Supporting Actor Oscar front-runner.)

The absolutely huge Open Championship review

With the dust settling on Scottie Scheffler’s emphatic win at Royal Portrush, Michael, James and Lewis reflect on an epic week in Northern Ireland.  
What is the new ‘Champion Golfer of the Year’s’ major ceiling? Could he challenge Tiger’s haul? Maybe even Jack’s? Or is that mental? 
Also, what about Rory? How many more chances will he have to win the Claret Jug on home soil? Is the Dunluce Links now permanently on the Open rota? And is Chris Gotterup a US Ryder Cup team lock? 
The guys debate all of this – plus cows, ghosts and Gary Player – on a particularly feisty, sleep-deprived ep of The bunkered Podcast.
