Talking Northern Trust, Tony Finau's Big Win, US Ryder Cup Team, Rory on the Bubble, McCarron Shooting Par on One Leg, Golf Landscape Artistry, Plus Improving Your Drives & Bunker Play...
In this episode I'm joined by Top Instructor Tom Patri, former Tour Player now Broadcaster Frank Nobilo, 2019 Champions Tour Player of the Year Scott McCarron, and Golf Landscape Artist Linda Hartough.
Tom Patri shares his thoughts on Tony Finau's big win at the Northern Trust, his picks for the US Ryder Cup team, plus tips for getting out of greenside bunkers and why we should go for accuracy over distance when buying a new driver.
Frank Nobilo shares his insight from covering the Northern Trust for CBS Sports. He talks about Tony Finau getting over the hump with his second win, Cameron Smith taking positives away from his play and forgetting about the one wayward drive, Jon Rahm letting one get away, memories from Frank's win at the 1997 Greater Greensboro Open, and the arthritis diagnosis and being hit above his left eye by a stray drive that ended his playing career.
Scott McCarron updates us on his foot and ankle surgery plus the device he's wearing on that leg that I bet he could still go shoot par with. Plus, we relive a couple of his big wins on the Champions Tour including the 2018 Shaw Classic that was aided by a hole-in-one on Sunday. He also gives us a little inside information about a potential Ryder Cup like event coming to the Champions Tour.
Linda Hartough shares her amazing story of going from graduating from the Art Institute of Chicago to becoming one of the top golf landscape artists of our time. She is the only artist to be commissioned by the USGA and the R&A to paint the courses of the US Open and Open Championship. She also talks about her time at Augusta National and Pebble Beach.
