In this episode of Hold the Green, Twitterless Steve records a solo Saturday night episode previewing the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, sharing why the Open is his favorite major to watch and recalling key Birkdale moments like Spieth's 2017 win and Palmer's 1961 shot, along with recent Scottish Open betting and weather challenges. He breaks down Birkdale's defining sand dune corridors, flat narrow fairways, small greens, and the sixth as the toughest hole, then covers course renovations since 2017 including a potentially drivable 5th hole. Steve debates strategy for the week and shares his take on how the course will play. He closes with an early weather preview and how it might effect scoring.

In this episode of Hold the Green, host Twitterless Steve returns Monday after a week off, recaps Chris Gotterup's John Deere win and Ben Cole's Sunday collapse, then previews the Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club. He covers the course's Tom Doak design, coastal features, and the 2026 nine-hole reroute, plus why the strong co-sanctioned field, headlined by Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, and Patrick Reed, sets up as a preview for next week's Open Championship. The numbers favor long-iron approaches and a driver-putter game, drawing comps to St. Andrews and Kapalua. Boston Capper joins Tuesday for the weather and betting breakdown.
