<p>Hi folks, and welcome in to this edition of <b>Next on the Tee</b>, where golf legends live and your game gets better. I’m grateful that you’re here and for pressing play.</p> <p>This week’s show is one of those perfect blends of <b>insight, instruction, and fun</b>, as I’m joined by three great friends to talk about what’s happening around our game—and how we can all play it better.</p> <p>Leading things off is our resident Director of Instruction, <b>Tom Patri</b>, fresh off the PGA Merchandise Show. TP shares some of the exciting new technology he saw on the floor, plus why playing the <i>right</i> golf ball for your swing matters more than most people realize. We also dive into Scottie Scheffler picking up right where he left off last season and the incredible performance by high school senior <b>Blades Brown</b>, who went toe-to-toe with Scottie—and why <i>not</i> winning may actually be the best thing that could’ve happened for him.</p> <p>Then I go a little homer on you as I hop a ride with my good friend <b>Paul Alexander from 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh</b>. We talk Steelers, Penguins, Pirates, a little Winter Olympics nostalgia—including the Miracle on Ice—and how Paul is keeping his golf swing from getting rusty during the winter months.</p> <p>And he’s perfectly sandwiched between two of the best instructors in the game, because when you press play on <b>Part 2</b>, I have the privilege of spending more time with <b>Top 10 Golf Digest Instructor Martin Chuck</b>. Martin shares what you should focus on if you only have time to work on <i>one</i> thing in your game, whether we’re reaching a point of data overload with all today’s technology, and how confidence plays a critical role in becoming a great ball-striker. He also delivers a fantastic tip on how to warm up with purpose—by practicing the shots you know you’ll need that day—so when you're faced with those shots on the course, you already know you can pull them off.</p> <p>So no… I don’t have a <i>good</i> show for you this week. I’ve got a <b>great</b> one.</p> <p>Thank you again for pressing play and for being part of the journey.</p>
