Devil Ball Golfcast, episode 54: Talking golf media and club grudge matches with Dan Levy

It's a quiet time in golf, so we're bringing on a few guests over the next few weeks to get a new perspective on the game. We start with Dan Levy, podcaster extraordinaire (if you're not listening to his On The DL podcast, you should) and proprietor of the sports media blog Press Coverage. As you'd expect, we talk golf media today -- the way that the golf media does and doesn't cover the stories of major significance. We kick around a few other topics -- Tiger vs. Phil, of course, and the relative weights of the majors -- and then Dan offers up an outstanding idea for a multistage November tournament. Listen for the details, but think Tavistock Cup without the annoying rich-folks-keeping-out-everyone-else factor.

As always, I'm joined by Shane Bacon, writer here and at Dogs That Chase Cars. (Follow Shane on Twitter right here, and while you're there, follow me too.)

We welcome your thoughts, ideas and recommendations on the podcast. Hit me up at jay.busbee
