Charlie Rymer, Chris Carter, Liberty DeVitto, and Bob Winskowicz Join Me...
In this episode, I'm joined by: former PGA Tour Pro now fantastic Host of The Charlie Rymer Golf Show Charlie Rymer, the Founder of Sports Geeks Radio Network in Wisconsin, Chris Carter, former Billy Joel Band Drummer Liberty DeVitto, and Sqairz Golf Founder Bob Winskowicz.
Charlie shares his year-long battle with stage 3 colon cancer. We hear how the doctors discovered, the treatment and surgeries he went through, and how he ultimately rang the bell for being cancer free. We also talk about some of the recent episodes of his show featuring guests Paige Spiranac and John Daly.
Chris Carter talks about the great courses they have up there beyond Whistling Straits and Erin Hills. He also shares his thoughts on why LIV Golf is good for professional golf and the fans.
Listening to Liberty DeVitto was one of the most fun segments of the year. We hear how his love for the drums started when he was 1 1/2 beating on the pots and pans in the kitchen and when he saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, that cemented his desire to be a musician. Liberty tells us about what it was like traveling with Billy to play in Cuba and Russia. We hear the funny story of how he ended up playing with Paul McCartney, how much he and the band hated Just The Way You Are, and thought that Scenes From An Italian Restaurant was too long. He also talks about their concerts at Yankee Stadium and on New Year's Eve 1999 at Madison Square Garden.
Bob Winskowicz updates us on the tremendous growth of Sqairz Golf this year. We hear why you should throw away any golf shoes that you can twist in your hands. We hear why Sqairz gives you greater stability which leads to more distance and greater accuracy. Bob worked with Arnold Palmer for years at Mr. Palmer's golf company, and he tells how Mr. Palmer's principle of "what's in it for the consumer" is at the forefront of everything they do at Sqairz.
