A Good Talk Spoiled Golf Podcast

We are back after a sabbatical...no jetski accidents or unexplained hiatus, it just happened!

It's here....oh thank god it's finally here!! Masters week has hit and we do our best to keep ourselves from babbling and dribbling with excitement as we chat everything Augusta.
