next on the tee

America's Caddie Michael Collins joins me in this bonus segment of the show.

Michaels shares his story of how wanting to make his mom laugh put him on the path to becoming a comedian. We hear about how he got over the fear of going up on stage the first time and the rush of getting that first laugh. Michael shares the story of meeting his first PGA Tour Pro, Omar Uresti, and how laughter helped Omar relax during his rounds and led to Michael getting inside the ropes, then inside the PGA Tour. We also hear how he got his start broadcasting for Sirius/XM radio and the night Pat Perez got hammered during their show Out of Bounds.

Michael has added great photographer to his long list of talents thanks to his personality (listen to the story) and some help from Ken Griffey Jr.

Michael makes our game, and this segment, so much fun because he's in it. I'm incredibly thankful for the time I got to spend with him. When you listen to this segment, you'll understand why he's quickly become one of my favorites.
