We sit down to chat after an 18-hole round in this June edition of 2nd Swing + Member Guest.

Tyler Clippard is a former MLB pitcher, 2x all-star turned professional golfer.  Now, he is a 2x winner on The Pro Tour USA - a professional golf tour for retired pro athletes.

Tyler and Jordan talk about the transition from MLB to Golf and his success in The Pro amongst athletes like Ray Allen, John Elway and JR Smith.

The PGA Tour is in the middle of a back injury epidemic. Tiger Woods just had his seventh spine surgery. Justin Thomas had a microdiscectomy. Will Zalatoris re-herniated two discs. Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, and Hideki Matsuyama have all withdrawn from events with back issues in the last year. So what's actually going on?

This week we're joined by Dr. Marc Hope to unpack the real culprit - the modern power swing, the X-Factor, and the lateral "crunch" that's wrecking lumbar discs. We dig into the specific cases making headlines, the swing faults amateurs share with the pros, and the simple mobility, warm-up, and core habits that can keep your back in the game for decades.
