The Fore Play crew rolled into Tot Hill Farm for another stop on the Barstool Classic road trip, and within minutes the pod had its first bit of chaos: Frankie and Trent showed up in the identical adidas fit, down to the white spotted polo and the caps.

Tot Hill Farm itself is the real star of the visual side of this stop. Riggs called it an OG Mike Strantz design that got a 2023 restoration, complete with exposed rock and 'holes like you've never seen' — and once you see the fairways carved through red dirt embankments and bunkers, it's obvious why the crew keeps circling back to this course for the tournament.
On the actual golf, the group had a real name-drop moment to lean on: Gary Woodland was cooking, and not just in Fore Play's imagination. Woodland opened the BMW Championship at Bellerive with a 6-under 64 to grab a share of the first-round lead, chasing a spot in next week's Tour Championship.

That timing made Kevin Kisner's story land even better. Kisner and Woodland were actually paired together for the first two rounds of the 2018 PGA Championship, also at Bellerive — the event where Woodland led outright before a bad break in an unraked bunker on the 10th hole cost him a triple bogey and, eventually, the tournament. Fore Play brought that history back up on the pod this week, with Woodland's current Bellerive form giving the old story new juice.

Back at Tot Hill Farm, the actual golf inside the group was less clean but more entertaining. Trent kept finding trouble off the tee and somehow kept walking away with bogeys instead of the doubles and triples the shots deserved, with Kiz and The Grint Golf talking him through the recoveries green-side.

The scramble math paid off in the standings, too. Yip Strickler had reportedly sealed his Day 2 picks in an envelope before the round even started — a bit of a superstition move — and the pick that came out of that envelope ended up carrying the team to the win. It's the kind of detail that only means something in a tournament built on team best-ball scoring, where the Barstool Classic sends its top 5 net teams from each stop to the championship at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale this November.

Between the matching outfits, the rules debates over a hole-out after a drop, and a real PGA Tour storyline bleeding into the banter, Tot Hill Farm delivered exactly what these Fore Play stops are supposed to deliver — a golf tournament that takes itself just seriously enough to be funny about it.
