Jim chats with Tony Pancake, the Director of Golf at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Indiana. Tony talks about his 40-year career as a PGA professional, recently culminating in being honored as the PGA of America Golf Professional of the Year for 2024. 

Tony tells some fascinating stories about his 20 years at Crooked Stick, including a round with Pete Dye during his job interview, memories from the many professional tournaments hosted over the years and more recently how the club honors the Dye-family legacy through the Dye Junior Invitational.

Tony is also the father of an accomplished amateur player, and shares tips for raising children in the game. All culminating in a special moment shared with his daughter Annabelle at last year's British Women's Amateur.

In Angle of Attack, Andrew, Joseph, and Jim discuss takeaways, follow-ups and observations from the first volume of Angle of Attack, take a deeper dive on Rules and provide a preview of Volume 2.
