Thanks for quarantining with us!
It's Day 35 of The Lockdown Golf Podcast and Bill and Kris are wrapping up the week with all of the hits.

Just when we thought the show was wrapping up, Jon gets caught up in some crucial TV Talk with Bill and Kris to start the week.
Special thanks to Jon for joining us this week!
Day 30 and there is a LOT of golf to talk about. Golf is opening back up in Illinois but still feels dicey.
Kris and Bill are fairly sure they’re only playing vintage clubs this season because they know they’re going to be terrible. Bill has rediscovered a lot of his classic putters and golf journalism is digging deep.
Day 29 opens with Bill and Kris settling some beef before moving onto Bread and Raccoon Talk, even though they purposely intended on not doing so.
There was actually quite a bit of golf talk to cover in the second half including walk-up songs and Phil v Tiger II.
Day 28 of The Lockdown Golf Podcast starts with some baseball talk straight out of left field (pun unintended but quite welcome) which leads into a conversation about the best athlete in Chicago since Jordan...and Bill is mad at himself for missing the clear, correct answer.
Also, some very important Raccoon Talk. They’ve made a new move at Bill’s house and things are starting to get tense.
Sticking with fan favorites, Kris got into some quick Bread Talk.
We’ll have golf topics back tomorrow!

Otherwise, Kris and Bill have some pretty mundane quarantine weekends filled with cleaning and yard work. Don’t worry, they still managed to squeeze in fan favorites like Kris’s Bread Talk, some great additions to the Raccoon Talk world, and some actual golf talk managed to sneak in.
Day 25 of the Lockdown Golf Podcast and the boys open the show with a tribute to the late Brian Dennehy aka "Big Tom Callahan".
Kris updates us on a ton of riveting Bread Talk (obviously) and Bill has moved on from Raccoon Talk to a full-on crisis of nature havoc in his neighborhood.
Then they kick off golf talk with information about a charitable giveaway Driving Range Heroes is organizing to help a good cause.

Then some serious Ian Poulter/Ryder Cup talk comes up before the group decrees that all older players operating on age limit restrictions for Major championships shall be granted one additional year of allowance in their participation.
This may be the longest episode yet, but it's a fun one so have a listen to help pass your Monday!
Day 20 opens with Bill talking raccoons again. This time about a very informative video his mom sent him. He also talks about Scott Readman Concepts and a recent eBay find.
Kris and Bill also talked about PGA Tour’s write up of Tiger’s top-10 clubs of all time which was actually pretty interesting.
The guys wrap up with a little TV talk that causes Bill to end the show so he can go watch the Walking Dead season finale.
It's day 19 and not much is going on, which means Kris jumps right into TV talk. Then Bill gets into how quarantine life is running WILD in his home town. Bill also has an update on his ongoing Amazon Prime drama.
Kris gets the show back on track with some golf talk. He’s been getting dialed in with his old school putter and can’t wait to get it out on a real course.
Day 18 of The Lockdown Golf Podcast is the definition of boring quarantine life.
Still, Bill and Kris managed to fill a whole show ramblin' and rantin' about golf social media (and social media/the internet, in general, for that matter), people failing to just stay home, and then some more bread talk.
Sorry, no TV talk today. It'll be back tomorrow, we promise.
Whew, Day 17 was a WHIRLWIND for the boys. They start the show talking raccoons and Kris’ latest deliveries to his house before the show is interrupted by a mild Bush-household crisis.
They get back on track with some golf talk including Amanda Balionis’ potential quarantine post-round interviews plus the new PGA Tour schedule taking place.
Of course, no Lockdown Golf Podcast would be complete without some TV Talk.
Day 16 of The Lockdown Golf Podcast has Bill and Kris catching up on their weekends. Bill talks about some good social distancing activities in his neighborhood and Kris talks about his dog stroller and ordering bread making tools.
Then they moved onto some actual golf talk. Bill’s been chipping foam balls in his yard and bribing his daughter to help him practice. Kris also explains how a certain golf media publication/website is struggling as much as we are to come up with relevant content during the lockdown.

Day 15 of the Lockdown Golf Podcast and the boys are recording deep into the night!

The show wraps up with a lot of Masters/Augusta National/golf architecture talk. Frankly, we're just as surprised as you are that there wasn't much TV talk and plenty of golf topics.
Day 14, and Bill and Kris are fired up! So much to cover...
First, Kris breaks some ACTUAL news and it even involves a really big golf event. We promise, this one really is news.
Some highlights: Bill updates Kris on the painting of his classic irons and how his hands are unreasonably dry now. TV Talk makes its return and Bill talks about his ongoing neighborhood battle with the Raccoon.

Day 11 of lockdown and the boys seem relatively alright on this episode. Quick note, given the strange circumstances these days, this episode is doubling up with their weekly YouTube show, That Range Life - A Show Sometimes About Golf (so check that out on Thursday).
