Mudball Monday 180-The AI Affect on Golf!
Sunday, 4 May, 2025

In this episode of Mudball Monday, hosts HS and Walker Simas discuss various topics including the significance of May 4th, the PGA Tour, and the impact of AI on golf. They explore self-care practices, including sleep, eating, learning, and fitness, before diving into how AI is reshaping golf culture, competition, and equipment. The conversation highlights the balance between technology and the human elements of the game, emphasizing that while AI can enhance performance, it cannot replicate the emotional aspects of sports. In this engaging conversation, the hosts explore the intersection of golf, AI, and competitive sports. They discuss the evolution of golf, the challenges of course setup, and how AI can enhance understanding and analytics in the sport. A thought experiment about how many men it would take to defeat a gorilla leads to humorous and strategic discussions, culminating in a reflection on the limits of human competition, illustrated by the "hippo theory."Hope you all enjoy this conversation.Thanks for the support as always!Cheers, - The Tie GuysChapters:00:00 Introduction and Celebrations03:55 AI in Golf: An Overview10:26 Self-Care: Sleep, Eating, Learning, and Fitness18:05 AI's Impact on Golf Culture24:07 AI's Influence on Competition and Strategy35:01 The Future of AI in Golf Equipment36:04 The Evolution of Golf and AI's Role39:03 Course Setup Challenges in Competitive Golf41:22 Understanding Golf Analytics with AI44:39 The Gorilla and the Men: A Thought Experiment56:10 Strategizing Against a Gorilla01:00:21 Hippo Theory: The Limits of Human CompetitionWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thetiepodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/thetiepodcast/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mobile.twitter.com/thetiepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GoodWalk Coffee:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://goodwalkcoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ CODE: thetie for 20% off BDraddy: bdraddy.com CODE: thetie25 for 25% offLivPur Hydration:livpur.comCODE: Sticks20Keywords:AI, golf, self-care, Rory McIlroy, PGA Tour, technology, competition, culture, fitness, betting, golf, AI, course setup, golf analytics, competitive golf, gorilla experiment, hippo theory, sports analysis, golf evolution, golf distance rollback
