Episode 121: But My Friends Call Me Randy – The Golfer's Journal Podcast
Tron doesn’t hold back on Twitter. Soly shared his No Laying Up origin story in TGJ No. 7, and DJ’s byline is a regular in The Golfer’s Journal. But what about the member of No Laying Up whose presence, quite literally, overshadows them all?
Phil Landes (aka Big Randy) has become one of golf media’s favorite characters via his appearances across NLU’s platforms, yet a part of him is ducking the spotlight—not an easy feat at 6’8”. He joins the podcast to talk with Tom Coyne about how this former accountant and freshmen basketball coach came to find himself drinking out of the Solheim Cup, and whether this dream job is a really that dreamy after all. In this honest and insightful discussion, Phil reflects on living with two names, his current romantic circumstance, how we’re all just a different shade of short to him, and why he doesn’t want to meet your dog.
