Zac beats Lefty Lockwood with only a putter on PMTV

The setup is as dumb as it sounds, which is why it works. Hank gets to play real golf. Zac gets 1 club, and it's the one you're supposed to use last.

Some background on who's playing. Hank has been with Pardon My Take since February 2016. He started as the producer and is now the show's third chair. Zac is the new guy. He joined in 2025 with the job title "Vibes/Misc." Big Cat hired him for the Barstool Chicago Cream Team, and he originally interviewed with Jon Gruden. That's a strange résumé for someone who just took a lefty to the course with 1 club, and the YouTube upload doesn't hide how it ended. It's titled "Zac Beat Hank In Golf Using Only A Putter!" No score has been posted, so we won't make one up. A loss to a putter is bad enough for Hank without a number on it.

A putter-only round has a weakness, and it shows up when the ball isn't sitting nicely on short grass. In one clip from the round, a ball is half-buried in the grass right by a red hazard line next to a rocky little creek. The choice is to take the 2-stroke penalty or try to dig it out with a putter.

We're not spoiling that shot. Watch it. The other running joke this week has nothing to do with golf. The crew is traveling, and Zac's main responsibility at the office is a lot narrower than his job title suggests. On the Yak on 2026-11-05, Big Cat summed up Zac's workload.

So when the road trip turned up an empty freezer, people noticed. The crew had 2 members of the Cream Team on the trip and still couldn't get any ice cream into the place they were staying, and Big Cat clearly isn't letting it go.

PMT has two members of The Cream Team on the road with them, and they STILL don’t have any ice cream in the freezer. @DKSports #DKPartner

That's PMTV at its best: a pointless competition, an inside joke, and a new guy who's somehow 1-for-1 on the course and 0-for-1 on the only job he was hired to do. Hank has to live with losing to a putter. Zac still has to find the freezer aisle before the next road trip.
