Golf is full of opinions, traditions, and marketing claims. Off TRAQ is where we slow down and actually talk about them. Hosted by Charles and Roy, the Off TRAQ Podcast explores the questions golfers genuinely debate — from equipment and swing myths to tour storylines, industry narratives, and the culture of the game. No hot takes for the sake of it. Just honest conversations about the game we all care about. 🎙 New episodes every other Tuesday 🏌️ Presented by TRAQ Golf
