On this episode of Next on the Tee my guests are USGTF Teaching Pro Scott Lehaman and Champions Tour Player Donnie Hammond.
Scott Lehman - Scott shared his life changing story about how he went from losing his dream job, racking up a huge amount of debt, going back to school to learn how to be a Teaching Pro and founding "In His Grip Golf". He also shared a swing thought and how to "bag up" and put a poor shot in the rearview mirror and move on.
Donnie Hammond - Donnie shared his insights on what we saw from Jordan Spieth at last year's Open Championship. Was Jordan's use of the driving range for his unplayable lie on the 13th hole genius or would that have occurred to other players? Where does his 5 hole stretch from holes 14-18 fit in the history of golf? Donnie was in the 2nd to last group at the Masters in 1986, a couple of groups behind Jack Nicklaus, so he was right in the middle of hearing that charge. Does Jordan Spieth's finishing stretch compare to Nicklaus'? Hear Donnie's thoughts. We also looked ahead to the PGA Championship and got Donnie's thoughts on Quail Hollow.
