Plus, in a light-hearted aside, we nod to the now-infamous FOXY thread on X (formerly Twitter), sparked by the No Laying Up podcast, and those oversized FOXY hats that stirred up a storm. We chuckle, but also zoom out—because the real story at Royal Dornoch is far more meaningful than social media squabbles. This episode goes deeper than the threads and trending memes—this is about real leadership, real legacy, and a real plan for the future of golf.
