Keith Hirshland, Hal Sutton, Jeff Tracy, & Dr. Bob Winters Join Me...

On this episode, I am joined by one of the all-time great Authors and Golf TV Broadcast Producers Keith Hirshland, PGA Tour Legend Hal Sutton, Host of Grilling at the Green & BBQ aficionado Jeff Tracy, and top Sports Psychologist Dr. Bob Winters.

Keith Hirshland is my all-time favorite author. He's written 6 wonderful books like "Song Girl, A Mystery in 2 Verses" (watch out for the CT Mascaro character), "Cover Me Boys I'm Going In, Tales of the Tube from a Broadcast Brat (my all-time favorite book), and his latest is the second book in the Murphy Murphy series, The Case of the Commission on Cliches. You can get all of them out on Amazon or www.keithhirshland.com. Keith and I talk about what mischief Murphy gets into this time around. Keith is also the Producer of the LIV Golf broadcasts. We hear his thoughts on Season 2 of LIV golf, if he thinks there will be a Season 3 plus some of the cool new drone technology they're looking to use in Season 3.

Hal Sutton is currently putting the finishing touches on his new course design called Darmor Club located just outside of Houston. It's an old-school Scottish design using templates from C.B MacDonald and Seth Raynor. He has created a course that we can all enjoy. I also get Hal's thoughts on the Ryder Cup and if NIL deals are about to infiltrate the world of golf. Hal also shares his disappointment about how playing on Tour used to be about the Tour and playing for charities first, playing for your coaches second, and then yourself. Now it's about self first.

Jeff Tracy is a BBQ Master. He shares his excitement over his recent first trip to a Bucky's and their barbecue and the wall of jerky. He expounds on Hal's thought of giving back and the importance of benefit golf tournaments and doing for others. Jeff also talks about the crossover between the golf and horse industries. I also got his recommendation for a great barbecue sauce and rub we can use to up our barbecue game.

Dr. Bob Winters is one of the top Sports psychologists in the country. He shares a wonderful story about Arnold Palmer and a putting tip Arnie gave him as a teenager when Bob attended one of Arnold's golf academies in Pennsylvania and that tip paid dividends when they played together again together at Bay Hill in 2007. We also learn techniques for how to calm down after a bad shot, the importance of self-belief, and his sports vision research that can lead to improved putting.
