Rob Strano, Hal Sutton, & John Cook Talk Players Championship, Ball Roll Back, & Much More...

Season 10, Episode 2,   Mar 15, 2023, 08:19 PM

In this episode, I'm joined by Top Instructor and Host of The Golf Kingdom TV Show Rob Strano, 1983 PGA Champion and 2x Players Champion Hal Sutton, and 21-time winner between the PGA Tour & Champions Tour, John Cook.

Rob Strano takes on the course at The Players Championship. Rob hosted a camp for deaf players on the grounds that week. We also get a taste of the Veterans Appreciation Event and what TV doesn't do justice to regarding the course. Rob also shares his thoughts on the rollback of the golf ball and helps us hit better pitch shots from 40-60 yards off the green.

Hal Sutton takes us back to his 2 wins at The Players Championship in 1983 by 1 shot over Bob Eastwood and in 2000 by 1 stroke over Tiger. Hal shares his thoughts on rolling back the ball and whether we're in the midst of a new Big 3 with Scheffler, Rahm, and Rori.

John Cook starts off by talking about the influence Tom Weiskopf had on his life and career. We hear his thoughts on rolling the ball back plus memories from his wins at the 1983 Canadian Open over Johnny Miller and Jack Nicklaus, and setting the PGA Tour record for low 54-hole total at the 1996 FedEx St. Jude Classic.
