Michael Breed [From the Archive] | [#246]

This week we are going back into the archives once again to bring you an absolute favorite, and one of our most downloaded episodes of all time.

Michael Breed is one of the most notable personalities in golf. He previously hosted the number one golf instruction show on television, The Golf Fix. which aired on the Golf Channel for many years.

Michael is an absolute ambassador for the game of golf and loves nothing more than helping players drop scores and enjoy the game. He is on a continuous mission to help grow the game.

This interview is one of my personal favorites, quite frankly, because I am still shocked at how enthusiastic and genuine Michael is when it comes to his passion and gratitude for the career and adventures that he’s had the fortune to experience.
