Talking PGA Championship, Senior PGA & Open Championships, Michael Block, & Handling Tournament Pressure...

In this episode, I'm joined by 1987 US Amateur Champion and 5-time winner on Tour Billy Mayfair, the Director of Golf at Alpine Country Club and US Kids Master Professional John Mascari, and our resident Director of Instruction Tom Patri. Billy Mayfair takes us back to the 1998 Nissan Open when he became the only player to ever beat Tiger Woods in a playoff. We hear how he birdied the last hole to tie Tiger and then birdied that hole again in the playoff to win. Billy also shares his thoughts on the new PGA Headquarters facility in Frisco, Texas, his T8 here at TPC Sugarloaf, the time he got paired with his idol Jerry Pate, and his chip-in to win the 1994 Greater Milwaukee Open. My long-lost cousin John Mascari is the Director of Golf at Alpine Country Club in Alpine, New Jersey. He also Co-Hosts the On The Tee show on ESPN Radio in New York. In this segment, I get John's insights on Michael Block's performance in the PGA Championship and how Block lifted up all 29,000 PGA Professionals. We hear about the great things John and his peers are doing to grow the game plus we get a tip on how to make solid contact from a fairway bunker. Tom Patri joins me late this week and he too weighs in on what he saw from Michael Block. We also hear about how different playing golf is from tournament golf and Tour-level golf. I also get Tom's perspective on how different the relationship between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf might be if someone other than Greg Norman was the CEO of LIV.
