Fore Play picked the perfect week to drop a heavyweight episode. With the US Open looming and the Ryder Cup creeping closer on the calendar, the boys booked 2018 and 2027 Team USA captain Jim Furyk alongside JT Poston, who's still riding the high of a career-altering Memorial win. That's a guest list that does the heavy lifting for you.
The Fore Play crew announces the Furyk and Poston double-booking.

Furyk didn't come on to read off talking points either. The headline take: the thing that's been holding Team USA back in the Ryder Cup is alternate shot. Foursomes have been the format where the Europeans repeatedly eat the Americans' lunch, and hearing the actual captain say it out loud — not a pundit, not a podcaster — hits different.
Furyk diagnoses alternate shot as Team USA's biggest weakness.
The other slice everyone's going to clip is the captains' radio chatter. Kiz got Furyk to walk through what's actually being said over the wires between vice captains and the captain during a Ryder Cup session — the stuff fans never hear and have spent decades guessing at. For a tournament built on vibes, lineup math, and momentum reading, that behind-the-scenes view is gold.
Kiz and Furyk crack open the Ryder Cup captains' radio.
Poston's segment is the softer counterweight, and a deserved one. The Memorial isn't just another win — it's a Jack Nicklaus-hosted invitational with a winner's exemption that reshapes a career. Getting him on the pod days later, fresh off the biggest check and biggest moment of his life, is exactly the kind of timing that makes Fore Play feel less like a podcast and more like the clubhouse.
Poston reflects on the Memorial win that changes everything.
Stack it up: a sitting Ryder Cup captain spilling on alternate shot and radio comms, plus a brand-new Signature Event winner, dropped right as Oakmont comes into focus. Fore Play has done bigger names, but rarely a more timely two-for-one.
