1083: Weekly Recap + Se Ri Pak Deep Dive

Dr. Sasho Mackenzie returns to the pod for an eye opening discussion around all things putting with Soly, Neil and Cody. Sasho has developed a Stack Putting app as a companion to his speed training work and the research into rolling better putts led to a ton of questions from us around what differentiates good putters and bad putters, how different putter types and grips affect success, green reading mistakes, putting while looking at the hole instead of the ball, and a ton more.

Two weeks ago, we sent Neil to Bethpage to record his experience at the 2025 Ryder Cup.

Our coverage of the 2025 Ryder Cup moves in the US post-mortem phase as Soly searches for answers and insights into what makes the European Ryder Cup machine so effective.  In this two-part pod we open up with Duncan Carey - one of the first analytics consultants for the European team in the 2010s - for his thoughts on what the US got wrong on the setup at Bethpage, plus the story of the role of analytics in team competitions, how pairings are formed, and his work with the International teams during the Presidents Cup.  In part two (39:00), Soly chats with Jamie Kennedy - Golf Digest director of Digital Content, and social media contributor for the European Ryder Cup team - for a behind the scenes look at what the Euros got right at Bethpage, the role of their various captains, and some guesses as to who’ll be the captains for both sides in 2027 at Adare Manor.
