Tim sat down with Doug Schroder of the Kansas City parks department to discuss Swope Memorial's historic renovation and restoration work approved Thursday, October 25 by city Council. Kansas City Golf guy goes into great detail about the courses past and it’s a W Tillinghast design as well as changes throughout the years that took it away from its intention and how an $8.5 million restoration will return it to greatness.  Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast for weekly golf content.

The Break80 Podcast is a weekly conversation with Stouds, Mike, and Tim, three friends who find as much to talk about in the game's margins as in its major championships. This isn't just a recap of tour scores; it's a deep dive into the personal stories, the memorable rounds, and the local characters that give golf its texture. You'll hear their own experiences on the course, the good shots and the bad breaks, all framed by a genuine curiosity about what makes the sport compelling. The show actively seeks out the people and places that don't always make the headlines but are essential to the game's heart. It's built on the idea that the pursuit of that magic number-breaking 80-is a universal struggle, a mix of technical challenge and personal narrative. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair in the grill room after a round, where the discussion ranges from equipment quirks to course design, always with a focus on the camaraderie that keeps players coming back. The Break80 crew operates with the understanding that the difference between a 79 and an 80 is everything, a philosophy that colors every story they uncover and every topic they share with their listeners.
