Barstool Sports’ Fore Play podcast just got a major upgrade, adding PGA teaching pro Cody “Beef” Frake to its lineup. Known for his sharp golf mind, laid-back personality, and ability to make the game accessible to all skill levels, Frake is the perfect fit for Fore Play’s unique blend of entertainment and golf insight.
So why is this move such a big deal?
1. A True Teaching Pro Perspective
The Fore Play crew has always done a great job capturing the fan experience, but Frake brings a new level of expertise. As a seasoned PGA teaching professional, he understands the mechanics of the golf swing, course management, and the mental game in a way that casual players don’t. Expect his presence to bring more instructional elements to the show—without losing the fun, beer-on-the-course vibe that makes Fore Play great.
2. Relatability Meets Real Knowledge
One of Fore Play’s biggest strengths is its ability to connect with everyday golfers, and Frake fits that mold perfectly. He’s not some stiff, technical instructor—he’s got the personality to match the rest of the crew while still offering real, actionable advice that listeners can use to improve their games. Whether it’s fixing a slice, dialing in a short game, or just breaking down what’s happening on Tour, Frake will add substance to the show’s golf discussions.
3. A Stronger Fore Play Brand
Barstool’s golf brand has exploded in recent years, from their YouTube series to the success of the Fore Play podcast itself. Adding Frake is a sign that they’re continuing to evolve, blending top-tier golf content with the entertainment value that makes them so popular. With his coaching background and easygoing nature, he’ll help take Fore Play to the next level.
Barstool just made an already great golf podcast even better. Welcome to the squad, Beef!
