Fire Drill 086: I Am The Walrus
With Alan Shipnuck and Michael Bamberger
In this Fire Drill Podcast, Alan Shipnuck and Michael Bamberger break down the highly anticipated Open Championship at Royal Liverpool, Rory’s win at the Scottish Open and more on the ongoing battle between LIV, the PGA Tour and the future of professional golf.
In 1994, Alan wrote his first cover story for Sports Illustrated as a 21 year-old intern, and in the ensuing quarter-century he typed two dozen more. He is the author of eight books, including best-sellers Bud, Sweat & Tees; The Swinger (with Michael Bamberger); and Phil. Shipnuck has won 13 first-place awards in the annual Golf Writers Association of America writing contest, breaking the record of Dan Jenkins, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame. Alan lives in Carmel, Cal.
This podcast could have gone on for hours and I would have listened to the whole thing.
“And I “quote”, I don’t even know why I said that, I’m quoting myself.”
And the parlay bet story was fantastic.
Thank you — your fantastic discussion was a true treat.
Bamberger!!! FFS it is “the Open” or “the Open Championship” That’s it. No need for misleading geographical references. Royal Portrush is not in Britain. Just “the Open”Love your stuff boys. Thank you and keep it coming!
