S13, Ep 9: PGA Master Professional John Hughes’ Best Golf Tips + NFL Star Eddie Kennison Stories | 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 get to share with you two outstanding guests who have achieved greatness in their fields and share incredible stories, insights, and advice. First up is PGA Master Professional John Hughes, making his seventh appearance on the show. Achieving PGA Master Professional status is one of the highest levels in golf instruction, earned by only about 480 of the more than 30,000 PGA Professionals worldwide—placing John among the top 1% of golf instructors. John shares fantastic golf tips and instruction to help improve your game, including how to warm up quickly when you're running late for your tee time, how to overcome fear and negative thinking on the golf course, and how to make more consistent center-clubface contact like the pros do. Then I cross over into the worlds of track and field and the NFL with former LSU and Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Eddie Kennison. Eddie reflects on his remarkable athletic career, being inducted into the Louisiana and Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, and why—more than three decades after leaving LSU for the NFL Draft—he returned to school in his 50s to earn his college degree. Eddie also shares stories about playing for legendary coaches including Mike Ditka and Dick Vermeil, discusses how the wide receiver position has evolved over the years, and even talks about his appearance on Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares thanks to his passion for cooking. It’s a fun, insightful, and entertaining episode filled with golf instruction, sports stories, life lessons, and great conversation. So sit back, relax, and enjoy another great edition of Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better. #GolfPodcast #GolfTips #GolfInstruction #PGAProfessional #PGAMasterProfessional #GolfLessons #ImproveYourGolfGame #GolfMentalGame #GolfPractice #GolfSwing #GolfLife #GolfCommunity #GolfTraining #GolfInstructor #PGAOfAmerica #JohnHughes #CenterFaceContact #GolfWarmUp #GolfConfidence #NFL #NFLStories #EddieKennison #LSUFootball #KansasCityChiefs #SportsStories #SportsPodcast #AthleteStories #PodcastLife #SportsLeadership #KitchenNightmares
