An emotional return in Bermuda, an African Safari, the LPGA's rising star Gabi Ruffels, and NYC rapper, screenwriter, actor, and artist Nik Moody on this week's podcast.

• It's officially the holiday season, and host Alex Lauzon is ready for it, as is cohost Michael Russell, begrudgingly (2:10).


• At the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, Adam Long ended his fairways hit streak at a childish number, and Camilo Villegas returns to the winners circle after an emotional few years (3:36).


• The LPGA had its inaugural Anika Driven event, hosted by the legend Anika herself. With some virtual credentials, Alex was able to chat with up-and-coming LPGA pro Gabi Ruffels, who had an impressive week in Florida (7:18).


• Past Masters Champion Angel Cabrera is out of prison, and is eyeing a return to golf and even the PGA TOUR, which seems surprising (18:10).


• The DP World Tour was in South Africa, and after enjoying the African safari, Max Homa played his way to his first international victory (21:15).


• Over on our YouTube channel you can see some behind the scenes from the Desire Cup, held at the beautiful TPC Sawgrass, as well as a very important mini-golf challenge between Alex and Michael (23:27).


• The PGA TOUR ends its 2023 calendar with the RSM Classic at Sea Island, featuring a very boring field (25:06).


• Nik Moody is a rapper, screenwriter, actor, artist, and now a returning guest to the podcast. Nik chats with Alex about his new movie, his new music, and his new partner (26:30).


• Alex has two winning weeks for his picks in the college football world, and makes a bold prediction for the CFB Playoffs (50:08).


• The race to the bottom continues for Michael's Giants and Alex's Patriots in the NFL, as these teams continue to lose at embarrassing levels (51:46).


• As we #AwaysEndWithFood, it's all about Thanksgiving, from the turkey to the sides to when you need to be taking that bird out of your freezer (hint: a lot sooner than you think) (55:54).
