Tour Legends John Mahaffey & Jim Gallagher Jr., Plus Talking Golf Getaways Host Mitch Laurance, and From Srixon/Cleveland Dustin Brekke & Eddie Drye Join Me...
Mitch Laurance talks to us about the Pleace Awaken organization and what they are doing through golf to help the people of Ukraine. Please check them out online at www.pleace-awaken.org. If you're asking yourself how can I help the people of Ukraine, Pleace Awaken is providing a path to the Golf Federation of Ukraine, which has been turned into a relief organization.
John Mahaffey takes us back to his win at the 1986 Players Championship, coming from 4 back down the stretch to win over Larry Mize. We also hear about his run at the 1981 Masters, his experience playing in the 1979 Ryder Cup, and the books he's written, Hogan's Boy and a mystery novel titled, Shafted; both of which you can get on Amazon.
Jim Gallagher Jr. starts off talking about his golf-centric family who was awarded the Jack Nicklaus Golf Family of the Year in 1990. Jim also talks about his college golf days at the University of Tennessee, being inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, his win at the 1993 Tour Championship when he set the course record at the Olympic Club with an opening round 63, the inspiring story behind his win at the 1995 St. Jude Classic promising a young leukemia patient that he was going to win it for her, and his experience playing in the 1993 Ryder Cup, beating Seve in the Sunday morning singles matches.
Dustin Brekke and Eddie Drye talk about the great new technology they have in their Srixon/Cleveland woods and golf balls. We hear why the new Cleveland Launcher XL driver won Gold in this year's Golf Digest equipment testing. We get inside the technology for how it produces no side spin so we can hit it long and straight. We also get inside the groove technology in their wedges, plus how to know which golf ball is the right one for your game.
