Given our ongoing technical issues, it’s inspiring that so many people showed up to participate in Request Line last week. With apologies for the brevity today (I’m becoming a fancy Hollywood player, so I have to start building my skill at abandoning those who got me where I am today), I thought today’s topic could be the famous golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia, which began yesterday and will finish on Sunday. I can’t think of a single song about golf off the top of my head, so please be as liberal as you like in your interpretation of the theme, and please feel free to comment on the ongoing Masters tournament while you’re ate it. I’ll get us started with a band who is no stranger to the country club (not actually joking, Lars Ulrich made a bid to become a professional tennis player while still in his teens). Have at thee!
Hootie and the blowfish had a video of them golfing, back when MTV played videos ( blah blah get of my lawn you damn cloud) figuring out the song would require putting effort into something hootie related and that ain’t gonna happen

I have to admit while I’m 100% sympathetic to their cause it was truly hilarious that people tried to get Augusta to say anything regarding the new Jim Crow laws in Georgia.
Yeah. “Um…do you know who we are?”
Elin got pissed when she found out about

It’s spelled “Ellen” and it’s actually “Elliot” now.
Until pretty recently, this song described every member of Augusta:

How about something from Huey Lewis & The News album Sports.
