In the United States, if you mention in casual conversation to someone that you played college golf, chances are the person would be a little impressed and believe you to be an excellent golfer. However, that would not be the case if you made the same comment in Europe 

In this week's podcast, Robin and Michael compare the two systems in creating winners, and take a very light-hearted look at the glaring differences between the two experiences. They both recall extraordinary tales from their days playing college golf that would cause any coach in America to roll their eyes and immediately expel anyone who followed Robin and Mike's examples. But it was very character-building, they claim.

The number of major winners who started playing college golf has been significant from the 1960s onwards. The competitive and professional approach taken by students in the top golf colleges prepares them very well for life on the tour, and in the single matches in the Ryder Cup, they seem to have a much better record. Is this a consequence of playing under extreme pressure every week?
