“The Capital Golf Gang” reflects who we are and where we are from. Steve Czaban, John Ronis, Ron Thomas and Jon Guhl — four golf fanatics, from four distinctly different “sectors” of the “industry” and we’ve lived here in the Washington D.C. area for most of our adult lives. Our goal for this golf podcast is to be ruthlessly entertaining, informative, and beholden to nobody. At times, our bare-knuckle truth will sound like four guys shooting the sh#t after a round in the clubhouse, over a beer. Which is precisely the goal. As such, don’t expect a bunch of bubble gum card names on this podcast. By being brutally honest, you accept the fact that you may not make friends with everybody in the game. But we’ll always be fair, and there’s enough divergent opinions to keep everybody in check.

Czabe is joined by Jon Guhl and John Ronis to pick apart &#34;moving&#34; day at Augusta, where only a few people moved, as conditions were almost as difficult as Friday.

Who isn&#39;t rooting for the &#34;Vibe King&#34; Max Homa? And watch out for young sensation Ludvig Aberg. Also Czabe says the course was &#34;too long, and greens too fast&#34; for what he likes at Augusta. Is he right, or a heretic who should be burned on a stake outside the Butler Cabin?

In the ultimate &#34;Get Off My Lawn&#34; bureaucratic move, the governing bodies of the game of golf have decided to &#34;do something&#34; about distance in golf.

“The Capital Golf Gang” reflects who we are and where we are from.

Our goal for this golf podcast is to be ruthlessly entertaining, informative, and beholden to nobody.
