    Feb 26 2026

    Send a text

    Welcome to Episode 367 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast! This week, we are joined by a special guest, Jacob Safar, the creator and developer of Grassy.

    If you've ever wanted a dedicated platform just to nerd out about golf courses, Grassy is exactly what you've been looking for. Jacob breaks down how he built this iOS-exclusive social platform to help golfers track their travels, rank their favorite courses, and build their ultimate bucket lists.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • What is Grassy? Think of it like a restaurant review app or "Letterboxd," but specifically curated for golfers to share course photos and reviews.
    • The Origin Story: Jacob explains how he developed the first version of the app in less than three weeks out of a coffee shop.
    • App Features vs. On-Course Tracking: We discuss why Grassy focuses on the off-course social and discovery experience rather than competing with live GPS trackers like 18Birdies.
    • Future Updates: We brainstorm some new features live on the show, from adding a Chasing Daylight group ranking page to a "Pokedex" for golf courses and AI caddy recommendations.
    • Massive Giveaway: Jacob shares details on the current Grassy app giveaway, including a Callaway Quantum Max driver and over $500 in PGA Superstore and Grassy gift cards!

  • 366: Matt’s Knee Surgery Saga, The Anthony Kim Debate, & The Great Skechers Roast
    Feb 19 2026

    Send a text

    On this episode of the Chasing Daylight Podcast, the crew is back with a slightly sedated host! Matt recounts the wild and hilarious details of his recent total knee replacement surgery—from the pre-op prep to the strictly enforced "new knee, gotta pee" discharge rule.

    The boys also dive into the biggest stories in golf, debating Anthony Kim’s return to professional golf. While it’s a feel-good story, is it really the "greatest comeback ever" compared to Hogan or Tiger?. Plus, we break down the action at Pebble Beach, Scottie Scheffler’s Sunday charge, and the electric crowds at LIV Adelaide.

    We also host a live giveaway for a spot in the sold-out Birdie Gang Invitational in Las Vegas, roast anyone under 50 wearing Skechers, and geek out over Quantum drivers and vintage Adams irons.

    In this episode:

    • Matt’s Medical Adventure: Hallucinations, hospital roommates, and the road to recovery.
    • The AK Debate: Why Anthony Kim’s return is amazing, but maybe not the G.O.A.T. comeback.
    • Vegas Golf: Hype for the Birdie Gang Invitational and the "Whatnot" crew.
    • Gear Talk: Why everyone is suddenly switching to Quantum drivers, and the nostalgia of Adams Tour heads.

  • 365: New Knees, Pebble Beach Preview & The Waste Management Hangover
    Feb 11 2026

    Send a text

    We’ve officially hit a milestone—Episode 365! That means we have a full year’s worth of audio for you to binge (if you’re brave enough). On this episode, the mood is a mix of celebration and nerves as Matt prepares to go under the knife for his full knee replacement surgery the very next morning.

    In this episode:

    • The Bionic Leg: Matt talks about the high-tech recovery gear dropped off by Cobra Medical and discusses the timeline for his return to the links (Landmand or bust!).
    • Tour Talk: We recap the chaos and "cultural experience" that was the Waste Management Open and look ahead to the 80-man, no-cut field at Pebble Beach.
    • Halftime Hot Takes: The crew debates the Super Bowl halftime show—was it a vibe or a snooze fest compared to Prince?
    • Tech & Trivia: Matt terrorizes the guys with creepy AI-generated videos, and we play a round of "Google Gemini" trivia regarding the most important dates in modern golf history.

    Plus, we talk TGL failures, Disneyland horror stories, and give away some fresh Garson gear.

  • 364: Precision Pro Co-Founder Jonah Mytro & The Million Dollar Rangefinder
    Feb 5 2026

    Send a text

    In this episode, the boys are joined by Jonah Mytro, co-founder of Precision Pro Golf, to pull the curtain back on the golf technology industry. Jonah shares the origin story of taking on industry giants like Bushnell and Leopold by bootstrapping a company focused on what golfers actually need—not just expensive bells and whistles.

    We dive deep into the tech, discussing why rechargeable batteries are the future, the science behind "slope" algorithms, and why some major brands are failing on stabilization. Jonah also gives us an insider’s look at the PGA Show, the rise of golf influencers (from Good Good to No Laying Up), and the frustration of "Chinese crap" flooding Amazon.

    Plus, we talk about the legendary "$1 Million Duct-Taped Rangefinder," the differences between Asian and US market designs, and give away an NX9 Slope to a lucky listener.

    In This Episode:

    • The Origin Story: How Precision Pro started with a $200 price point to disrupt the market.
    • Tech Talk: Why battery replacement programs matter and the truth about waterproofing.
    • Hot Takes: The problem with cheap Amazon knock-offs and "race to the bottom" pricing.
    • Course Talk: Dream rounds at Bandon Dunes, Landmand, and Rusty Canyon.

  • 363: Golf Etiquette Rants: Loud Music, Lazy Bunker Players & Social Awareness
    Jan 29 2026

    Send us a text

    On this episode of Chasing Daylight, the guys are back to break down a wild week in golf and weather. While the East Coast is buried under 38 inches of snow, the crew took advantage of the Vegas sun to play The Legacy Golf Club, leading to a heated discussion on course conditions and the infuriating laziness of golfers who refuse to rake bunkers.

    Matt opens up about getting "checked" by his daughter regarding his "old man" take on course music, sparking a broader conversation about social awareness and volume levels on the fairways. The guys also dive into gear, officially dubbing themselves the "Quantum Boys" as they share their hands-on thoughts with the new Callaway Ai Smoke Quantum driver and fairway woods.

    In professional golf news:

    • Scotty Scheffler continues his dominance with his 20th victory.
    • 18-year-old phenom Blades Brown impresses the crew.
    • Brooks Koepka returns to the PGA Tour at Torrey Pines—will he miss the cut or contend?.
    • The guys debate the viability of the TGL and why simulator golf on TV might be a hard sell.

    Plus, updates on the sold-out VGN event at Rhodes Ranch, Rocky’s move to Alabama, and Matt’s upcoming knee surgery.

    Jan 22 2026

    Send us a text

    This week, the boys are breaking down the biggest equipment news of early 2026. Matt brings the heat with an exclusive in-hand look at the new Callaway Quantum driver lineup. We dive deep into the tech, including the new "polymesh" material, the 14% thinner face, and the unique weighting system that is changing the game. Is it actually better than the Ai Smoke? Matt shares his personal fitting numbers and ball speed gains to prove it.

    In this episode:

    • The PGA Show Report: Roars is on the ground in Orlando, and the verdict is in—attendance is down, and the show floor feels different this year.
    • Callaway Quantum Reveal: A full breakdown of the Quantum Max, Max D, and the Triple Diamond. Plus, we look at the new adjustable lie angles on fairway woods and the new Opus Max irons.
    • Golf News & Rumors: We discuss the insane rumor regarding Bryson DeChambeau seeking a $500 million contract renewal with LIV and thoughts on the future of the league.
    • Life Updates: Matt is 21 days away from his total knee replacement and becoming a "cyborg".

  • 361: Brooks Returns to the PGA Tour, Golf Travel Buckets & Scotty Cameron Pilgrimages
    Jan 15 2026

    Send a text

    Dan is away getting his reggae on in Mexico, so the crew calls up a heavy hitter from the bullpen: Mike from Beautiful Golf Courses joins Matt, Joe, and Jeremy for a packed episode.

    The guys dive immediately into the biggest news in golf: Brooks Koepka is officially back on the PGA Tour. We break down the strategic timing, the specific parameters that allowed his return (and seemingly excluded Phil Mickelson), and what this means for Bryson DeChambeau, Cam Smith, and the future sustainability of LIV Golf.

    Later, the conversation shifts to "Experiential Golf." Mike and the guys discuss why difficult-to-reach courses like Landman, Dismal River, and Gamble Sands are worth the journey. We debate if the hype is real, the logistics of booking tee times, and why the "hang" is just as important as the golf.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • The Return of Brooks: Analyzing Brooks' statement, the financial penalties, and why the PGA Tour needs Bryson back next.
    • LIV Golf Status: Is the league on the verge of folding, or will it evolve into something else?.
    • Game Time: Matt hosts a round of "LIV Golfer or Southern Nevada Amateur?".
    • Matt's Road to Recovery: Matt announces his official date for total knee replacement surgery and his goal to be ready for the team trip to Landman.
    • Scotty Cameron Pilgrimage: Jeremy recaps his first-ever trip to the Scotty Cameron Gallery in Encinitas and the process of buying a Circle T.
    • Wisconsin Lore: A strange detour into Green Bay fandom, cheese, and Wisconsin’s surprisingly dark true crime history.
    • Course Reviews: Thoughts on Coyote Springs (and the Bob Does Sports episode), Prairie Club, and Sand Valley.

    Mentioned in this episode:

    • Vegas Golf Network: The season is starting soon! Visit VegasGolfNetwork.com to sign up.
    • New Merch: Check out the new "Evolution" mug and T-shirts on the website.
    • Precision Pro: Coming soon to the show.

  • 360: Paiute in the Fog, Callaway Chrome Tour & The "Joker" Revealed!
    Jan 8 2026

    Send us a text

    Two truths can exist at once: golf is thriving, and some of its boldest experiments still can’t find the right stage. We start the year by proving why the local game matters most—new energy in the Vegas Golf Network, a private Facebook group where real debates live, and our fresh “Joker Low Net” format that rewards players who go low! We also welcomed Relic Body Arts as a sponsor and spun up live giveaways because community isn’t a slogan for us; it’s the point.

    Gear lovers get plenty to chew on. Callaway refreshed the Chrome Soft family and teased the Quantum driver, with materials and cover tech designed to add speed without sacrificing feel. We talk about where gains might come from, how fitters will test the claims, and why early-access fittings at private clubs can be a cheat code for smarter buying. Then we press into the TGL problem: elite players, clever tech, but buried time slots and an audience left guessing. Our fix is simple—put it on Golf Channel in prime hours, replay it smartly, and partner with OEMs to explain equipment choices in real time so the product tells a story the average golfer can follow.

    The heart of the show is a fog-drenched round at Paiute that reminded us why we play. With visibility down, we moved up a tee box, hit more short irons, tightened dispersion, and tied a personal best. It wasn’t about ego; it was about making the course fit the day and the body. That theme rolls straight into putting: a quick posture reset led to a shorter putter and a better stroke. If you can’t reach a studio, grab a roll-out mat, a mirror, and a yardstick to lock in start line and face control. For newer golfers, we lay out a sane gear path—shop quality used sets or get a fit, and if you’re slicing, buy one lesson and actually do the work.

    We finish by spotlighting the LPGA at Shadow Creek, a full-field event at a bucket-list course that most fans will never step on. That’s how you build intrigue the right way. The West Coast swing is loading—Sony, AmEx, Farmers, Phoenix, Pebble, Genesis—and we’ll be ready with takes, gear notes, and more community wins.

    If this mix of real-world golf, gear honesty, and smarter practice vibes with you, tap follow, share the show with a golf buddy, and drop a review. Your support helps us grow the community and bring you more fittings, giveaways, and deep-dive episodes all season long.
