Under The Covers

Golf, Sports

Hosted by Kevin, Matt, and Dominic, this podcast lives at the intersection of pro golf, equipment obsession, and questionable takes. They dig into what the best players on the planet actually have in the bag—what’s legit, what’s marketing BS, and what might actually help your game (no promises).
