This week we're joined by a legend from the world of golf, Sir Nick Faldo. Faldo is a recent pickleball convert and is building a court at his Montana home. Faldo made news last year for using pickleball to roast LIV Golf's viewership numbers. We draw comparisons between golf and pickleball's different iterations of Tour Wars. Plus Erik Forsythe was the biggest story coming out of MLP New York. We hear about his experience stepping out of the crowd and onto the big stage. Finally, Zane recaps everything that happened in pickleball last week, including APP Newport Beach, PPA Malaysia, and roster moves around the league.
