384: Bandon Dunes Secrets, PGA Tour Changes with Tim from Looper Talk

Welcome to Episode 384 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast! We are officially celebrating our 1,000-subscriber milestone on YouTube, and we are kicking things off with an announcement of our 1K giveaway, which will include a brand-new Callaway golf bag. 

We are joined this week by Tim from Looper Talk, an 11-year caddie at Bandon Dunes and a PGA Professional. Tim brings the heat with incredible insights from the loops, a deep dive into golf's hottest current events, and some legendary stories from the bag. 

In this episode, we cover:

• Celebrating our 1,000 subscriber milestone and dropping details on our Callaway bag giveaway. 
• The hilarious moment Dan pure-striped a ladies' Reva 3-wood. 
• Tim's journey as a caddie at Bandon Dunes and why Bandon Trails is an absolute masterpiece. 
• A breakdown of the newly announced 2028 PGA Tour format, featuring the Championship and Challenger Series. 
• A candid debate on why the industry should focus on "finding the game" rather than forcing "growing the game". 
• U.S. Open course conditions, the mental grind, and Wyndham Clark's massive victory. 
• An unbelievable, behind-the-scenes caddie story involving Hale Irwin, Jack Nicklaus, and some very clean tee boxes at Cherry Hills. 
• The equipment rollback debate: why shrinking driver heads might be a better solution than rolling back the golf ball.
