How To Score Well This Winter Plus Holiday Gift Ideas, & My Conversation with Rob Labritz...

Golf Podcast: next on the tee

On this episode two of the Top Instructors in our game, Tom Patri and John Hughes, join me along with Champions Tour Pro Rob Labritz and PGA Tour SuperStore Chief Merchandising Officer Randy Peitsch.

Tom Patri and I also reflect back on two great feel-good stories from the Bermuda Championship in the T8 finish by Tyson Alexander and the inspirational victory by Camilo Villegas.

Champions Tour Pro Rob Labritz, PGA , and I go back to his journey through Champions Tour Q-School in 2021. We talk about the pressure involved getting from round to round. He was the medalist that year which earned him his Champions Tour card. We also talk about perhaps the best bogey save I've ever seen that Rob sank on the final hole at the TimberTech Championship which earned him the final spot in last week's Charles Schwab Cup Championship.

Randy Peitsch is the Chief Merchandising Officer for the PGA Tour SuperStore. He shares several great gift ideas for the golf enthusiast in our lives, even if that person is us. We hear what his Top 3 gift ideas are plus some great new tech items that have recently hit the shelves. We also get into Tiger & Rory's new TGL League. Arthur Blank not only owns the Atlanta Falcons, he also owns the PGA Tour SuperStore and the new Atlanta franchise in the League. We talk about the team, the players, and how the SuperStore is going to be involved.

We round out the show with PGA Master Professional John Hughes Golf. I tap into John's expertise on how adjusting our grip pressure can help us make more of the slick downhill putts. He gives us some mental tips when we're faced with pitching over a pond, and how to get more distance off the tee. John also hosted a couple of golf schools up at McLemore this year. He got a firsthand look at the second course that Bill Bergin and Rees Jones are Co-Designing up there called The Keep. Rees shared with us a few months ago that it's so good it could host a major tournament one day. John walked the course and shared his perspective on what we'll see when that course opens in the Spring.
