Join me for another awesome edition of Riding The Pine! In this episode, I'm back with another interview only show with a guest who has made a tremendous impact on the Pepperdine men's golf program, Derek Hitchner (2:07-31:25)! Derek and I discuss his decision to go to Pepperdine to further his golf career and what it was like for him getting adjusted to playing in a new weather climate with him being from Minnesota originally, how he handles pressure in golf and some tricks he's learned over the years to calm himself before big rounds, what his mindset was going into his first ever NCAA Regionals last week and so much more!
