S13, EP 25: Mark Wiebe Talks Battling Golf's Greatest Legends in the Majors & David Kelly's Secrets to Better Putting | Next on the Tee

from Next on the Tee: Where Golf Legends Live & Your Game Gets Better · host Chris Mascaro

On this episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by 2013 Senior Open Champion Mark Wiebe and golf equipment innovator David Kelly. Leading things off, Mark Wiebe shares his thoughts on this year's PGA Championship and Aaron Rai's breakthrough victory before taking us back to the 1989 PGA Championship, where he recorded his best finish in a major. Mark reflects on battling some of the greatest players in golf history, including Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros, Curtis Strange, Tom Watson, Ben Crenshaw, and eventual champion Payne Stewart. He also recounts one of the most remarkable days in golf history at the 1989 U.S. Open, when he and three other players made hole-in-ones on the same hole within a span of roughly 90 minutes. Plus, I ask Mark what changes he would make if he were PGA Tour Commissioner for a day, and his candid thoughts on the future of professional golf. Following Mark is longtime golf equipment expert and Kelly & Co Golf Founder David Kelly. With more than 45 years in the golf equipment industry and experience with companies including LAB Golf and Makefield Putters, David takes us inside the evolution of putter technology—from classics like the Ping Anser and Wilson 8802 to today's custom-built designs. He explains the truth behind "zero torque" putters, why a few grams of weight can be the difference between making and missing a 10-foot putt, and how golfers can optimize feel, balance, and performance through custom fitting. David also shares the story behind his handcrafted Kelly & Co Golf putters and the personalization options that make each one unique. If you're a fan of PGA Championship history, major championship golf, golf legends, putting instruction, custom golf equipment, and insights that can help you improve your game, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better. #NextOnTheTee #GolfPodcast #MarkWiebe #DavidKelly #PGAChampionship #AaronRai #USOpen #SeniorOpenChampion #MajorChampionshipGolf #JackNicklaus #TomWatson #SeveBallesteros #PayneStewart #BenCrenshaw #CurtisStrange #ChampionsTour #PGATour #GolfHistory #GolfLegends #GolfStories #GolfInstruction #PuttingTips #PutterFitting #CustomPutters #LABGolf #MakefieldPutters #KellyAndCoGolf #GolfEquipment #GolfTechnology #GolfGear #GolfLife #GolfCommunity #GolfFans #GolfTalk #GolfInterviews #GolfNews #ChrisMascaro #SportsPodcast #ApplePodcasts #SpotifyPodcasts #WhereGolfLegendsLiveAndYourGameGetsBetter
