Rich B pleads with all golfers to make sure that they spend the few dollars to buy a bag tag and attach it to their golf bag to help easily identify clubs on the course or at the pro shop. Thousands of dollars on equipment is definitely worth identifying them with a tag!

Dr. Bob says you have to have this core belief ... "If it is to be it has to begin and end with me."  

Dr Bob says as players we become obsessed with making a certain score. You have to stay in the moment and focus on the shot that is in front of you. Golfers can check out his Golf Profile, which is cutting-edge web-based technology.

Todd felt that may force Phil to press on Sunday and that is what it seemed he did. Todd said that of the past 19 major championships, there have been 18 different winners and neither have been Tiger or Phil.

Todd and Holly wrap up the segment talking briefly about Tiger Woods' injury and it preventing him from playing in his tournament.

Dr. Gio Valiante, Sports Psychologist and Mental Golf Coach of Justin Rose and author of Fearless Golf calls in to talk to Holly and Rich. Dr Gio talks about Justin's focus that he learned from Fearless Golf. Repeating the same routine before each and every shot. Preparation is the key and that his golfers possess 

Dr Gio feels that Confidence and Motivation are two key hallmarks of the game that need to be protected. Golfers take a roller coaster ride while playing golf and he said that golfers can get easily burnout. Players need to get time away from the game. He said it is good to know why you play the game and he did a survey asking players why they play. For the love of the game, or they enjoyed some sort of reward, attention or accolade

Holly G and Rich B are in the studio on the eve of the second major of the season, the U.S. Open.

Todd is not sure if Phil is giving himself the best opportunity to win the major he so desperately wants.

Todd and Holly also discuss the focused mindset of Webb Simpson and the chances of Pennsylvania native Jim Furyk. Todd feels that Rory McIlroy is not in the right spot with his game to win this major. Todd feels that Rory's switch of 14 clubs in his bag when he signed with Nike. Todd feels that it takes any player a while to adjust to any equipment changes they make and feels that it could take Rory until the final major of the season before he is completely dialed in with his new clubs.

Philadelphia Daily News' Mike Kern, calls in from the press area in Merion to talk about the weather on the eve of the U.S. Open. Mike has written a series of article about Merion hosting the U.S. Open. "The thing about Merion is that the rough is always tough and needs to be that way since the course is short."  Mike said that the rough is akin to rough on the Tour about 10-15 years ago.

Tony Leodora, Golfstyles Magazine and host of Golf Talk Live, calls in to wrap up the show. Tony and Holly talk about Ben Hogan's famed 1-ron shot at Merion. Tony said that he favors the older players to do well at Merion because of their patience and experience. Those two elements are really the key to winning the 113th U.S. Open.

Tiger had been playing so well before the Memorial and then turned in the worst score of his career. This year he has won four tournaments and placed T4 at the Masters. Bob feels that if Tiger improves his putting that he will play well at the U.S. Open. He had one bad week.

Everyone talks about the shortness of the course at Marion but Bob feels that there are holes that have difficulty and he doesn't feel that Marion will be a pushover. Rich and Bob talk about the limited number of spectators that can come watch the U.S. Open live due to the small size of the property at Marion. The players will warm up at the West Course at Marion and then be shuttled about a mile to the East Course to play.

Holly G and Rich B are in the studio. Holly and Rich briefly discuss Boo Weekley’s win at the Colonial. That makes 3 tartan jackets for Boo, who is from Florida's panhandle near Milton.

"The Anchoring Rule ... is a very complex rule and it tries to tell people how they should hold the club, which is the first time we've done that in the history of the game. I think it is going to be cumbersome and difficult to interpret and difficult to monitor. However the USGA believes that they can rely on the integrity of the individual and his intentions to get this rule working effectively," Thomas said.

Thomas feels that anchoring doesn't improve the putting of some of the best players in the world. It does help improve the performance of some of the bad putters and the long putter is very much more efficient than the belly putter. However, we need to recognize that the best putters in the world are not anchoring. He said that about 40 percent of your score is from putting and about 45 percent of the game is spent on the putting green.

Frank teaches proper putting and has designed his own putter. "We don't really understand putting very well and it hasn't been and not been teaching teachers how to teach the systematic and structured approach to putting," he said. "When you start using the long putter you start losing feel."

Following is an excerpt from the PGA's statement on the USGA's decision. Although we do not agree with the decision, we applaud the USGA for its willingness to listen to our concerns and engage in meaningful discussions. In our opinion and based on our experience, the USGA treated the comment period for what it was intended to be -- a time to exchange opinions, concerns and potential solutions. See more

Holly G and Rich B are in the studio talking all the latest news on Tiger and Sergio, the anchoring ban and the International Network of Golf Spring Conference. While at the ING Conference at Reunion Golf Resort Holly was paired with the rep from Bridgestone golf who fitted her for the first time with the correct ball for her swing speed and smash factor. Holly said not only does your swing speed have a lot to do with the ball you should use, it also has a lot to do with where you hit the ball off the clubface each time.

Bob Harig, ESPN.com, calls in to talk to Holly and Rich about the latest news in golf. Holly asks him about Sergio Garcia's press conference at a European Tour event where he offered an apology to Tiger. The backstory is that Tiger Woods and Sergio have been going back and forth after an "incident" at The Players Championship.  With the two paired together and contending for the lead at The Players, Tiger pulled a club from his bag at the same time Sergio was about to hit his shot 50 yards away. Tiger thought Sergio had played his shot already. The selection caused the crowd around him to react and Sergio felt that the noise affected his shot. The two have been exchanging comments in the media ever since.  At a banquet in London, Sergio was jokingly asked about getting together with Tiger. Sergio said, “We will have him round every night. We will serve fried chicken.” The "racist" comment hearkened back to the comment Fuzzy Zoeller made about Woods at the 1997 Masters Tournament which haunts Fuzzy to this day. Sergio apologized at the press conference.

Bob mentions that the two have only played 20 times in the past 13 years, which is not very often and does not know where the animosity comes from? There have been a few incidents over the years where Sergio has taken opportunities to poke at Tiger and the same with Tiger and Sergio. Harig also mentions that the other part of the situation is that Sergio has to worry about his sponsors staying with him and the fallout from his comments.  Especially when he is making most of his money off the golf course.

Holly talks to Bob about his article on ESPN.com about the USGA's ban on anchoring when putting.  The ban takes affect in 2016. Bob feels that not a lot of players will be affected by the ban. Even the players that have had success with the anchoring of the putter say that it is an advantage, which is not fair to other players. There has been speculation that the Tour may do its own thing, but Bob doesn't feel that will happen.

Holly talks to Kevin Baker, Director of Golf and head PGA Professional at Reunion Golf Resort & Spa about everything that Reunion has to offer golfers and their families. Holly was at Reunion for the ING Spring Conference.  Reunion offers 3 different courses, Palmer, Nicklaus and Watson. Each course is different than the other but none is a "signature" course. Reunion is a Stay and Play resort as well as host to 1oo events throughout the year. It is also home of the ANNIKA Academy and Frank Thomas' Putting Pad - a structured way to teach putting and the new home of the North Florida PGA Headquarters.

Jeff Shain, PGA Tour.com, calls in to wrap up the hour of intelligent golf talk. Jeff and Holly talk about his latest story about the Web.com Tour. The discussion also covers the HP Byron Nelson Championship and Sang-Moon Bae's win. Also the upcoming Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Host Holly G and Rich B are in the studio talking about their recent match at Errol Estate Golf and Country Club in Apopka, Fla.  They are starting a Thursday night golf league with times from 5-6:30 p.m.

The duo talk about Tiger's victory over Kevin Streelman, Jeff Maggert, David Lingmerth and Sergio Garcia at the The Players Championship in Ponte Vedra, Fla.

Todd Lewis, The Golf Channel, calls in to talk about The Players Championship.  Todd feels that the story that people will remember is the tit-for-tat between Woods and Garcia.  But friction adds to the drama.  What happened motivated Tiger Woods. Holly asks Todd about Garcia's decision to tee it up again at the 17th after he hit his first shot in the water. Todd also recounts Garcia's inability to accept the blame for how he plays. Sergio has tremendous upside at 33 and Todd feels like he is maturing but also has to realize he hasn't lived up to what people expected him to become.

Holly also talks to Todd about Tiger's errant shot on 14 and how it allowed a lot of players to get back into the hunt. Whether the shot was proper and improperly dropped the ball. Casey Wittenberg said it was the correct place. Rich B also talked about Casey's responsibility to watch his competitor and he did just that.

Bob Harig, ESPN.com, calls in to talk to the Golf Insiders about all the news in the world of golf. "It was a heck of a golf tournament, his 4th win of the year." Bob feels that the win is overshadowed by the nonsense that has surrounded Sergio's complaint about Tiger pulling his club as Sergio hit his shot. Bob doesn't feel that Tiger was intentionally trying to interrupt Sergio's shot or pull gamesmanship. Bob also echoed Todd Lewis' comments that Casey Wittenberg told Tiger where to drop the ball, which was his call to make. Bob feels that a lot of liberty is taken on a weekly basis with the drops that follow a water hazard.

Bob Harig, ESPN.com, calls in to talk to Rich and Holly from the Wells Fargo Championship. Bob talks about the ruling with Vijay Singh and the ruling on Tiger Woods a few tournaments ago. In Bob's Birides and Bogies column, he feels that Vijay got off on a technicality. Bob said that Vijay committed the violation but they let him off. Gives golf a bit of a black eye. The USGA and the R&A released a statement in great detail about the ruling on Tiger's drop at the Masters. They should have talked to Tiger at the time they discovered the infraction.

Host Holly G and Rich Bianco are in the studio with the complete Masters wrap up.  

Bob Harig, ESPN.com, calls in to talk about the wild week at Augusta. Bob felt that the last 1 to 1 1/2 hours got really good and lots of fireworks with Justin Rose, Adam Scott, Angel Cabrera. 

"I don't think that the golfers were that affected by the rain, it was more of an annoyance toward the end," said Harig. Bob talked about the late Friday and early Saturday chaos after it was questioned whether Tiger took an illegal drop or not. Was a big two shot swing given the situation. Bob felt there was a lot of harsh comments toward Tiger without people knowing the rules. There is so much polarization and negativity toward Tiger that if it was someone else, would there have been quite the outrage.  Bob covered it in his column "Time to rethink the rules" on ESPN.com.

Bob felt that even though Tiger didn't play well he still ended up fourth. If he the ball goes in on the 15th hole instead of hitting it, who knows what could have happened? 

77th Masters is in the book. Todd Lewis, the Golf Channel, calls in to talk about the Masters with Rich and Holly.  Holly asks Todd about how the rain affected the play.

Todd felt that when Adam Scott figured out his putting on the back 9 of the final round, he was able to take over.

Todd and Holly talk about Adam Scott's past from 2009 on and his failures. Adam Scott said that he felt that his failure at The Open Championship gave him the belief that he could win a major championship.

Todd also talks about how global the win was for the game of golf. Especially for Australia. Todd feels that when the U.S. won Olympic gold in 1980 and how big that was for the U.S., it is the same for the Australians. Scott received a round of applause by the media when he walked into the press room after winning the Masters.  Todd said that Adam Scott's life is balanced off the course now which lets his game be more focused on the course. 

Vartan Kupelian, PGA Tour.com, calls in to talk to the Golf Insiders about the over 50 crowd that made the cut and played the final two days of the Masters. He doesn't feel that Couples had a collapse ... Extremely difficult for Fred Couples who is suffering from a bad back and 53.  On the other end of the spectrum, the 14-year-old Guan Tianlang from China played so well he made the cut. But he stressed that 3 years can change any golfer.

Vartan also covers Sergio has not evolved into the player everyone thought he would turn into after he battled Tiger 15 years ago at a Major championship event. 

Garry Smits, Florida Times Union, calls in to wrap up the show.  There has never been two players who have birdied the 18th in the history of the Masters. Both Angel Cabrera and Adam Scott have a history together and mutual respect for one another. Holly and Gary talk about what happened to Brandt Snedeker at the Masters and looking forward to the RBC Heritage this week. It's a short, tight course.  Gary feels that Ernie Els may win the RBC Heritage. Holly and Rich feel that Brian Gay has a good chance to win the RBC Heritage this week.
