Golf's Merger Bombshell, Jay Monahan, Yasir Al-Rumyyan, Jimmy Dunne, and Oh Yeah the US Open...

In this episode, I'm joined by our Resident Director of Instruction Tom Patri, one of the Top Golf Course Designers of our time Bill Bergin, PGA Professional and Top Adaptive Golf Instructor Joe Grohman, and the President of the Golf Heritage Society Dr. Bern Bernacki. Tom Patri shares his shock at the announced merger/partnership between the PIF & PGA Tour. We hear about Tom's relationship with Jimmy Dunne, who brokered the deal, and the reaction from around the game including Rory McIlroy feeling like a sacrificial lamb. Bill Bergin updates us on the progress of The Outpost course up at McLemore. We also hear about his experiences playing in 3 US Opens, and who he likes this week. Joe Grohman has won the Patriots Award 8 times for his work with our wounded military personnel and Veterans. He talks about his adaptive golf program and the positive impact it has on the lives of those who come to his clinics.
