next on the tee

The Wedge Guy, Terry Koehler, takes us through his new Edison 2.0 Wedges and why they are the best wedges on the market for average to high handicappers. We hear how his proprietary sole design and weight distribution around the clubface helps average golfers get more distance, improved accuracy, and consistent results. I also get his thoughts on proper gapping, an explanation of what smash factor is, and how it impacts wedge play.

Linda Hartough shares the story of the Augusta National member who launched her on the path of being one of the all-time great golf landscape artists. We also hear about the New York Times article that named her the Rembrandt of the Back Nine and the bucket list of courses she'd still like to paint.

Tom Patri and I discuss the Australian tax man taking 47.5% of Talor Gooch's $6M from his winning paycheck at the LIV Golf Tournament in Adelaide, Australia. Tom also tells us about one of the hidden gem courses in Florida, Mountain Lake. We also debate the guys we think should be the faces of the PGA Tour going forward.

Matthew Laurance is such a great storyteller and we get to hear a lot of his movie career. We get to hear about the event he hosted last Fall where he helped raise money for the flood victim in Eastern Kentucky with a special showing of the movie he starred in, Eddie & the Cruisers. He also shares stories about his relationships with Jim Boeheim, PJ Carlesimo, the crush Elton John had on him, and getting to work with Carl Reiner and Steve Martin on the movie Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.

Mitch Laurance shares a historical perspective on the top players of all-time discussion. We get to hear great stories about Old Tom Morris, Tom Morris Jr., James Braid, Harry Vardon, and Ted Ray. Mitch also talks about his recent trip to Pinehurst and a fantastic story from the round he played last year at historic Aiken Golf Club.

Keith Hirshland updated us on how things are going out on the LIV Tour. As the Producer of their golf tournaments, he shares some of the new, innovative technology they have. When you have all 48 players on the course at the same time, and balls in the air all over the golf course, keeping track of the leaders in the first two rounds can be a challenge. We also talk about LIV's team concept and how that keeps all 48 players engaged even if they're not on top of the leaderboard.

Tom Patri and I looked back at The Masters plus we discuss our Top 5 players of all time and a couple of guys who are very underrated.

Rick Fehr shares his thoughts and lessons for how to deal with tournament golf pressure. We talk about his stories from being low amateur in the 1984 Masters and US Open. What it was like for him to be a part of the victorious 1983 Walker Cup team, his win at the 1986 BC Open, and the short list of things all great ball strikers do.

The Wedge Guy, Terry Koehler, takes us through his new Edison 2.0 Wedges and what makes them better on the market for average to high handicappers.

Paul Doherty of the new brand Con.Struct Green joins me in this special bonus segment of the show.
