Podcasts about Hale Irwin

Today's show was LIVE from The Memorial Tournament in Dublin, OH. We were joined on the show by Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, Aaron Rai, GOLF Channel's Todd Lewis, and 3-time U.S. Open Champion Hale Irwin.

In this sixth installment of our eight-part conversation with World Golf Hall of Fame member Hale Irwin, we dive deep into the heart of major championship golf and reflect on the enduring lessons of a remarkable career. Hale, always thoughtful and candid, revisits his storied experiences at Augusta National, sharing his personal connection to the Masters and what it meant to walk its hallowed grounds—both as a competitor and a steward of the game's history.With insight only a three-time U.S. Open champion can provide, Hale opens up about how his game fit—or didn't fit—the iconic venues of each major. He offers a behind-the-scenes look at the mental and physical toll of playing The Open Championship, revealing why family time, the grind of travel, and those rainy days with fogged-up glasses sometimes outweighed teeing it up across the pond.From the roars of Augusta to the winds of Royal Lytham & St. Annes, Hale reflects on the challenges, triumphs, and close calls—like his proud 64 at the Masters and duels with legends like Seve Ballesteros and Tom Watson. We also touch on the PGA Championship, and Hale's personal choices around scheduling, family priorities, and staying true to his own rhythm, even in the face of major championship expectations.With humor, humility, and unmatched perspective, Hale Irwin shares stories that remind us that greatness isn't only measured in trophies, but also in the values that guide a life in golf. Join us for another timeless chapter in the life and legacy of one of the game's true champions.Subscribe and follow FORE the Good of the Game for the next two episodes as we continue the journey with Hale Irwin.Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.Support the showFollow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.

Hale reflects on turning 50 in 1995 and stepping into senior golf with the same fire and precision that defined his prime. In his own voice, he recounts celebrating his milestone birthday at a Wendy's after a rain-delayed Memorial Tournament—and quickly pivoting to victory just weeks later.Hale dives into his Champions Tour success, including his staggering 45 wins, highlighted by 11 straight seasons with multiple victories and a record-setting nine-win season in 1997. He shares the story behind his putting grip change at Walla Walla that led to a year-and-a-half of brilliance on the greens, and how rivals like Gil Morgan pushed him to reach new heights.We revisit Irwin's seven senior majors, including his dominant U.S. Senior Open wins and a 12-shot runaway at the PGA Senior Championship. He shares compelling stories of strategy, mental resilience, and even golfing with Sean Connery in celebrity events. Hale speaks candidly about how golf evolved with age—from burning ambition to deep appreciation—and how competition remained his driving force.With insights into the camaraderie of the Champions Tour and the lasting impact of players like Bruce Devlin and David Graham, Hale paints a vivid picture of a time when golf wasn't just a game—it was a second life. For fans of golf history and timeless storytelling, this is a masterclass from one of the game's greatest.Subscribe and listen as we approach the grand finale in Episode 8 of FORE the Good of the Game.Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.Support the showFollow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.

In the powerful conclusion to our eight-part conversation with World Golf Hall of Fame member Hale Irwin, we journey with one of golf's greatest competitors as he reflects on the final chapter of his playing career and the enduring legacy he leaves behind.Irwin shares memories of his seventh and final senior major victory at Valhalla, a week marked by rain delays, back pain, and a quiet moment of clarity found in the solitude of his car with a book in hand. He speaks candidly about rival and friend Jay Haas, the grace of Payne Stewart, and the brilliance—yet unfulfilled potential—of Tom Weiskopf. With honesty and humility, Hale opens up about what it truly means to win, to persevere, and to walk away on your own terms.We also explore Irwin's deep commitment to philanthropy, including the creation of the Hale Irwin wing at St. Louis Children's Hospital and his recent honor as the 2025 U.S. Senior Open Honorary Chair at The Broadmoor. Hale discusses his second career in golf course design and the joy of building courses that bring people back for another round.In our final three questions, Hale reveals the one “Mulligan” he might take—not on the course, but in life—and how he hopes to be remembered: not just as a champion golfer, but as a friend, a mentor, and a man who always tried to do what was right.This final episode is a heartfelt and fitting end to an extraordinary life story, told in the voice of a man who lived it with integrity, grace, and grit. Hale Irwin's reflections remind us that in golf—as in life—it's the relationships, not the trophies, that matter most.Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.Support the showFollow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.

20-time winner on the PGA Tour, Hale Irwin takes us back to his early days on Tour and shares the lessons he learned from mentors like Bruce Devlin and Dale Douglas. Surviving the pressures of being a "Monday qualifier", Hale finally closed the deal in his fifth year on Tour, prevailing at the 1973 Sea Pines Heritage Classic. Confidence from that first victory propelled him to success the following year at the U.S. Open at Winged Foot and at the Piccadilly Match Play at Wentworth GC. Listen in as he recounts his 1975 successes which included another Piccadilly win and leading the U.S. side with 4 1/2 points in his first Ryder Cup with Arnold Palmer as the captain at Laurel Valley. We conclude this episode with Hale remembering his improbable comeback win at the 1976 Citrus Open and the life lesson from his father to always finish what you started.

Hale Irwin, 3-time winner of the U.S. Open, concludes his look back on his PGA TOUR days by recounting his final few individual and team wins. As a 45-year-old Hale prevailed at the 1990 U.S. Open at Medinah with a comeback for the ages. He has fond memories of the 1991 Ryder Cup at Kiawah, not because of the result but because of the camaraderie and grittiness displayed by both sides. Hale derived much satisfaction from his final win at the 1994 Heritage Golf Classic, his third win at Harbour Town. His appearance as the only President's Cup Player/Captain in 1994 capped off an incredible regular Tour career and set the stage for great things to come, "FORE the Good of the Game."Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.The Top 100 in 10 Golf PodcastThe story of a quest to play the Top 100 Golf courses in the UK & Ireland in just 10 yearsListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showFollow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xNzM3Mjc1LnJzcw About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.

Today Skip replayed some of the show's favorite "Best Of" interviews featuring World Golf Hall of Famers Nick Faldo, Johnny Miller, Hale Irwin, Ben Crenshaw and Judy Rankin.

It was known as the Massacre at Winged Foot. The 1974 US Open was a brutal four days for some of the greatest golfers in the history of the game. Nicklaus, Palmer, Trevino, Floyd, Miller and Watson all were tamed by the course... but a little known 29-year old PGA tour veteran was slow and steady and when it came to Sunday, Hale Irwin was ready to pounce... with the help of his caddie... a homegrown kid by the name of Peter McGarey. And when we say kid, we're not kidding. Peter was 16 years old and right in the middle of one of the greatest group of golfers ever assembled. How did he hold up during this incredible week? What was it like working for a future Hall of Famer and how did the two get paired up for a week they'll both never forget? How did he react where everywhere he looked was a golf icon he grew up idolizing? The kid isn't a kid anymore but Peter still looks back on his great fortune from 50 years ago with the the awe of a teenager who was swept up in a moment he'll never forget.

Only six men have won the U.S. Open Golf Championship at least three times, and Hale Irwin's three titles spanned 16 years. From his 7-over par (yes) winning score 50 years ago at Winged Foot to his "victory lap" at Medinah in 1990, Hale combined a cerebral approach with a wicked long-iron game to tame the beasts put forth by the USGA. Have a listen to the World Golf Hall of Famer who never shied from golf's biggest stages.

Mike Donald had a long career on the PGA Tour, making nearly 300 cuts and winning the 1989 Anheuser-Busch Classic. Mike is perhaps most famous for his runner-up finish in the 1990 US Open where he lost in a playoff to Hale Irwin after they were tied at the end of 72 holes and remained tied after their subsequent 18 hole playoff, thereby necessitating a sudden death playoff. Mike talks about growing up in South Florida, his challenges keeping his golf scholarship in college, life on the Tour in the 1980's both before and after the all-exempt tour, how technology has changed the game, and how nearly 35 years later he looks back on his special week at the US Open with added perspective.

Some of the most recognizable names in golf used to walk the greens at Rio Pinar Golf. Now the new owners are hoping they will inspire the next golf greats to get their start in East Orange County with their family at their side. Gregor Tilch-Jensen and his wife recently bought Rio Pinar Golf and the duo isn't wasting any time breathing new life into the historic golf course. If the walls could talk they would probably tell you all about the Florida Citrus Open. “It was a great event they hosted here with an unbelievable winner's list, from Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Hale Irwin, Julius Boros, all Hall of Famers and people who tried to win here and never did, Sam Sneade, Jack Nicklaus, they were here, couldn't do it.” But, the walls would also tell you about the new owners' plans to go beyond that history. Tilch-Jensen stood on the green telling the hosts of Florida's Fourth Estate that he sees this location as less “members only” and more community. “We want to be a destination for families,” Tilch-Jensen said. He said he is bringing new technology to his hitting bays, building a pickleball court and re-furbishing one of his tennis courts. The amateur golfer turned instructor, turned golf course owner told hosts Matt Austin and Ginger Gadsden that creating a space where parents and kids can play together is near and dear to his heart. “My kids love golf as well. My wife and I met on a golf course. It's just part of our life, it always has been,” Tilch-Jensen said. He admitted it's not as popular of a sport in his home country of Germany, but once he got a hold of a golf club, he fell in love and wanted to introduce that passion to the next generation of golf enthusiasts. To do that he said he has developed a long-term plan, which involves moving his wife and their children to Central Florida. He said he is committed to making Rio Pinar Golf a success again. “You want to make it work and you don't want to let down the people you love the most,” he said. His wife is fully onboard and has focused on helping to redesign the interior of the golf course's clubhouse. “It's not really like a golf club, it's really loungy-modern, which is located at a golf course. Leaving the former Champions' Room, which is now the Oak Room, just modernize that a little bit, which you still have the history part of it and still have the trophy from Arnold Palmer in it, but that's a separate space, so now again, everyone feels comfortable,” he said.

The Super Bowl-winning quarterback entered the protocol Tuesday afternoon after consulting with the Rams’ medical staff, the team confirmed Wednesday. The Rams believe Stafford’s symptoms resulted from action in last Sunday’s 16-13 loss at Tampa Bay, but they haven’t identified a specific hit. McVay said the Rams haven’t determined whether Stafford can play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. John Wolford, a Rams backup since 2019, is likely to start if Stafford can’t go. Stafford has been one of the NFL’s most durable QB’s for the past 12 seasons.

He spoke Wednesday afternoon, hours after Griner’s lawyers revealed that she had been sent to a penal colony to serve her sentence for drug possession. U.S. officials have for months tried to negotiate the release of Griner and another American jailed in Russia, Paul Whelan. But there have been no overt signs of progress. WNBA – WNBA to allow coaches challenge next season The WNBA will allow coaches to challenge one play a game next season, and the league is also heightening the penalty for transition take fouls, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday night because no official announcement has been made. Both rules, which will go into effect next season, are already used in the NBA. MLB – Orioles claim OF Daz Cameron off waivers from Tigers The Baltimore Orioles have claimed outfielder Daz Cameron off waivers from the Detroit Tigers. Cameron hit .219 with a homer and eight RBIs in 21 games with Detroit last season. He also appeared in 98 games with Triple-A Toledo, batting .240 with 10 homers and 50 RBIs. The waiver claim gives Baltimore 34 players on its 40-man roster. The Orioles also turned down their $11 million option on right-hander Jordan Lyles, who gets a $1 million buyout. MLB – Pollock declines $13M option with White Sox, goes free Outfielder AJ Pollock declined his $13 million player option with the Chicago White Sox and was among 10 players who became free agents, raising the total to 161. In the final season of what turned out to be a $50 million, four-year contract, the 34-year-old hit .245 with 14 homers and 56 RBIs. World Series champion Houston declined a $10 million option on first baseman Trey Mancini in favor of a $250,000 buyout and declined a $13 million option on reliever Will Smith in favor of a $1 million buyout. FIFA – World Cup – Pepi, Steffen left off US World Cup roster, Ream, Wright on The U.S. World Cup roster had some surprises: Ricardo Pepi was left off along with Zack Steffen, Paul Arriola and Jordan Pefok. U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter picked 35-year-old defender Tim Ream, who hasn’t played with the team since September 2021 Also selected were Haji Wright, Joe Scally, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Sean Johnson, who all failed to get into a single one of the qualifiers. DeAndre Yedlin, a 29-year-old defender, is the only player left from the 2014 World Cup roster. The U.S. opens the World Cup against Wales on Nov. 21, then plays England and Iran. Golf – Tiger Woods to return at his tournament in the Bahamas Tiger Woods is returning to competition next month in the Bahamas. He announced his decision on Twitter and it was not a big surprise. Woods is tournament host of the Hero World Challenge. He’ll be part of a 20-man field that features 18 of the top 21 players in the current world ranking. Woods says other sponsor exemptions are going to Tommy Fleetwood and Kevin Kisner. Woods hasn’t played since missing the cut in the British Open at St. Andrews in July. He played only two other tournaments this year. Both were majors. He made the cut in the Masters and PGA Championship. Golf – Champions – Langer still going strong on PGA Tour Champions at 65 Bernhard Langer feels the reminders from 50 years of professional golf every day. Some days it could be a sore wrist. Others a twinge in the elbow or a shoulder ache. None of it has slowed him down. The 65-year-old arrives at Phoenix Country Club this weekend with a chance to tie Hale Irwin’s all-time PGA Tour Champions wins mark of 45. Langer won his 44th PGA Tour Champions event last week in Florida after beating his age by two shots in the second round. This week’s Charles Schwab Cup Championship will be the final event of the PGA Tour Champions season. Only Steven Alker and Padraig Harrington have a chance to win the season-long championship.

FIFA – World Cup – Pepi, Steffen left off US World Cup roster, Ream, Wright on The U.S. World Cup roster had some surprises: Ricardo Pepi was left off along with Zack Steffen, Paul Arriola and Jordan Pefok. U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter picked 35-year-old defender Tim Ream, who hasn’t played with the team since September 2021 Also selected were Haji Wright, Joe Scally, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Sean Johnson, who all failed to get into a single one of the qualifiers. DeAndre Yedlin, a 29-year-old defender, is the only player left from the 2014 World Cup roster. The U.S. opens the World Cup against Wales on Nov. 21, then plays England and Iran. Golf – Tiger Woods to return at his tournament in the Bahamas Tiger Woods is returning to competition next month in the Bahamas. He announced his decision on Twitter and it was not a big surprise. Woods is tournament host of the Hero World Challenge. He’ll be part of a 20-man field that features 18 of the top 21 players in the current world ranking. Woods says other sponsor exemptions are going to Tommy Fleetwood and Kevin Kisner. Woods hasn’t played since missing the cut in the British Open at St. Andrews in July. He played only two other tournaments this year. Both were majors. He made the cut in the Masters and PGA Championship. Golf – Champions – Langer still going strong on PGA Tour Champions at 65 Bernhard Langer feels the reminders from 50 years of professional golf every day. Some days it could be a sore wrist. Others a twinge in the elbow or a shoulder ache. None of it has slowed him down. The 65-year-old arrives at Phoenix Country Club this weekend with a chance to tie Hale Irwin’s all-time PGA Tour Champions wins mark of 45. Langer won his 44th PGA Tour Champions event last week in Florida after beating his age by two shots in the second round. This week’s Charles Schwab Cup Championship will be the final event of the PGA Tour Champions season. Only Steven Alker and Padraig Harrington have a chance to win the season-long championship.

The Rams believe Stafford’s symptoms resulted from action in last Sunday’s 16-13 loss at Tampa Bay, but they haven’t identified a specific hit. McVay said the Rams haven’t determined whether Stafford can play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. John Wolford, a Rams backup since 2019, is likely to start if Stafford can’t go. Stafford has been one of the NFL’s most durable QB’s for the past 12 seasons.

He spoke Wednesday afternoon, hours after Griner’s lawyers revealed that she had been sent to a penal colony to serve her sentence for drug possession.

NFL – National Football League – Week 9 Last Night Detroit Lions 15, Green Bay Packers 9 Miami Dolphins 35, Chicago Bears 32 New England Patriots 26, Indianapolis Colts 3 Lions 15, Packers 9 – Rodgers throws 3 INTs, Lions hold on to beat Packers 15-9 Aaron Rodgers matched a career high with three interceptions and threw an incomplete pass on fourth down from the Detroit 17 in the final minute, letting the Detroit Lions hold on for a 15-9 win over the Packers in a matchup of slumping teams on Sunday. The Lions ended a five-game losing streak. The Packers have lost five straight for the first time since 2008 when their four-time NFL MVP was a first-year starter with the franchise. Dolphins 35, Bears 32 – Tua, Dolphins outlast Bears on Fields’ record rushing day Tua Tagovailoa threw for three touchdowns, Tyreek Hill had 143 yards receiving and the Miami Dolphins overcame a record-setting rushing effort by Justin Fields to beat the Chicago Bears 35-32. In a game where neither team did much to stop the other, the Dolphins had no trouble moving the ball against a gutted defense and made enough plays to come away with their third straight win. Fields ran for 178 yards, the most by an NFL quarterback in a regular-season game. He had a 61-yard touchdown run and threw for three scores. But it wasn’t enough for the Bears, who lost for the fifth time in six games. Patriots 26, Colts 3 – Pats get 9 sacks in dominant 26-3 victory over Colts Mac Jones had a touchdown pass, Nick Folk added four field goals and the Patriots finished with nine sacks to help New England beat the Indianapolis Colts 26-3. The win moves the Patriots (5-4) above .500 for the first time this season as they head into their bye week. Linebackers Matt Judon and Josh Uche each had three sacks, leading a defense that held Indianapolis to 121 yards and 0-for-14 on third down. Jones was 20 of 30 for 147 yards. The Colts have lost three straight and have yet to earn a win since benching QB Matt Ryan in favor of second-year player Sam Ehlinger.

NFL – National Football League – Week 9 Last Night Detroit Lions 15, Green Bay Packers 9 Miami Dolphins 35, Chicago Bears 32 New England Patriots 26, Indianapolis Colts 3 Lions 15, Packers 9 – Rodgers throws 3 INTs, Lions hold on to beat Packers 15-9 Aaron Rodgers matched a career high with three interceptions and threw an incomplete pass on fourth down from the Detroit 17 in the final minute, letting the Detroit Lions hold on for a 15-9 win over the Packers in a matchup of slumping teams on Sunday. The Lions ended a five-game losing streak. The Packers have lost five straight for the first time since 2008 when their four-time NFL MVP was a first-year starter with the franchise. Dolphins 35, Bears 32 – Tua, Dolphins outlast Bears on Fields’ record rushing day Tua Tagovailoa threw for three touchdowns, Tyreek Hill had 143 yards receiving and the Miami Dolphins overcame a record-setting rushing effort by Justin Fields to beat the Chicago Bears 35-32. In a game where neither team did much to stop the other, the Dolphins had no trouble moving the ball against a gutted defense and made enough plays to come away with their third straight win. Fields ran for 178 yards, the most by an NFL quarterback in a regular-season game. He had a 61-yard touchdown run and threw for three scores. But it wasn’t enough for the Bears, who lost for the fifth time in six games. Patriots 26, Colts 3 – Pats get 9 sacks in dominant 26-3 victory over Colts Mac Jones had a touchdown pass, Nick Folk added four field goals and the Patriots finished with nine sacks to help New England beat the Indianapolis Colts 26-3. The win moves the Patriots (5-4) above .500 for the first time this season as they head into their bye week. Linebackers Matt Judon and Josh Uche each had three sacks, leading a defense that held Indianapolis to 121 yards and 0-for-14 on third down. Jones was 20 of 30 for 147 yards. The Colts have lost three straight and have yet to earn a win since benching QB Matt Ryan in favor of second-year player Sam Ehlinger.

The Lions ended a five-game losing streak. The Packers have lost five straight for the first time since 2008 when their four-time NFL MVP was a first-year starter with the franchise. Dolphins 35, Bears 32 – Tua, Dolphins outlast Bears on Fields’ record rushing day Tua Tagovailoa threw for three touchdowns, Tyreek Hill had 143 yards receiving and the Miami Dolphins overcame a record-setting rushing effort by Justin Fields to beat the Chicago Bears 35-32. In a game where neither team did much to stop the other, the Dolphins had no trouble moving the ball against a gutted defense and made enough plays to come away with their third straight win. Fields ran for 178 yards, the most by an NFL quarterback in a regular-season game. He had a 61-yard touchdown run and threw for three scores. But it wasn’t enough for the Bears, who lost for the fifth time in six games. Patriots 26, Colts 3 – Pats get 9 sacks in dominant 26-3 victory over Colts Mac Jones had a touchdown pass, Nick Folk added four field goals and the Patriots finished with nine sacks to help New England beat the Indianapolis Colts 26-3. The win moves the Patriots (5-4) above .500 for the first time this season as they head into their bye week. Linebackers Matt Judon and Josh Uche each had three sacks, leading a defense that held Indianapolis to 121 yards and 0-for-14 on third down. Jones was 20 of 30 for 147 yards. The Colts have lost three straight and have yet to earn a win since benching QB Matt Ryan in favor of second-year player Sam Ehlinger.

He did make his first bogey of the tournament on the fifth hole. His lead was down to three. And then he birdied the next three holes. Brian Harman shot 66 to finish second.

Hale Irwin joins the show

Get yourself ready for Sunday and stay in full compliance with our "Whoa, Daddy" CDST show. Could be we're coming up on another fantastic Father's Day finish at the US Open, and to get you in the mood, it's time to roll tape from some memorable battles, including Jack coming back at Baltusrol, Raymond Floyd shining at Shinnecock, Norman and Fuzzy waiving the white flag in 1984 and Hale Irwin's downing of Donald six years later.Of course, there'll also the NBA Finals to discuss, with the settling for 2nd Celtics buckling under the weight of some spicy Curry and dirty Poole.We've also got an infusion of MLB, persistent Blixx wearing out his Av's affection (right on his sleeve ... is that a new tattoo?), and the always exciting racing update with Mr. Miranda.And as for our clips of classic short putt misses (at the worst possible times), there isn't one among us who does have the True Grit to exclaim, "That reminds me of me".A state trooper arrests Carl (Steve Buscemi) and Gaear (Peter Stormare). When he refuses their bribes, Gaear takes his gun and shoots him. BINGE MORE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vue2w3zqmA&ab_channel=BingeSocietyOur show opening music is performed by our friends the "Reverent Cavaliers" @Reverent Cavaliers

World Golf Hall of Fame member Hale Irwin looks back on the importance of notching his first career win at Harbour Town in 1971, the first of three wins at the Heritage. He then relives each of his three U.S. Open victories beginning with 1974 at Winged Foot where he won with a score of +7 as the USGA did not want a repeat of the Johnny Miller final round of 63 at Oakmont the previous year. He prevailed at Inverness Club in 1979 by 2 over Gary Player and Jerry Pate and then, who will forget his joyous high-five romp around the 18th green at Medinah in 1990 after draining a 60-footer to tie in regulation at the last. He prevailed in the thrilling Monday playoff with Mike Donald. Hale Irwin continues with his remarkable career story, "FORE the Good of the Game."

Ron Barr chats with legend Hale Irwin, one of the world's leading golfers from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. One of the few players in history to win three U.S. Opens, Irwin won a total of 20 times on the PGA Tour. As a senior golfer, he ranks first all-time in PGA Tour Champions victories and, along with Gary Player, David Graham, Bernhard Langer and Justin Rose, Irwin is one of only five golfers to win official tournaments on all six continents on which golf in played.

Today on the Brain Booster we are joined by one of the brightest and best upcoming coaches is the USA, Chase Cooper Chase works alongside Hal Sutton at his academy in Texas Together they are building a special reputation for making a BIG difference to the way students play and enjoy their game. www.halsuttongolf.com Alongside Hal he hosts the wonderful podcast ‘Be the right club TODAY' which has had a whole host of some of the best players to ever play the game of golf such as Tom Watson, Hale Irwin, Jim Furyk and Paul Azinger They work together in a quest to get the best out of each player's ability. We discuss how Chase evolved as a coach The influence of Jim Hardy and Chris O'Connell How incorrect concepts held him back as a player The challenges of being a 6ft 7inch golfer and how he needed to work with key understandings to get the best from his game How to best use technology How to reduce the numbers to the CRITICAL variables How your numbers should be matched to SHOTS How to take swing changes to performance Why you should collect your data when you are playing WELL The importance of FACE CONTROL How you can better control the club face The myth of using ‘Big Muscles' to control the club The ball only knows what the club face is doing at impact How the arms create speed and the body should support that Asking the key question ‘What do we know for CERTAIN about the shot you have just hit' How you can fix your game with opposites Understanding the role of ACCEPTANCE and what it can do for your game The many elements of acceptance and how to find which keys are personal to you as an individual The great story about how Tom Watson won the US Open in 1982 at Pebble Beach When in the first couple of days he had no idea where the ball was going What he did to turn his game around to culminate in the famous chip in on the 17th Hole How Jim Furyk focuses almost exclusively on his routine How he felt he had NEVER played a full round committed to EVERY shot Some wonderful stories to REALLY get you to think about your game A great opportunity to listen and learn from a TOP coach at the cutting edge of game development To find out more about Hal and Chase go to www.halsuttongolf.com To book your Mind Factor workshop go to https://themindfactor.net/workshops/breakthrough/

Listen in as he takes us through his thinking process about playing professionally and ultimately qualifying at the first spring Tour School in 1968. Hale Irwin recounts his early years, "FORE the Good of the Game."

As a 23-year-old, Mark found himself at Augusta National, teeing it up with the defending champion, Fuzzy Zoeller, at the Masters and then with Hale Irwin (defending champ) and Seve Ballesteros (reigning Open and Masters champ) at the U.S. Open at Baltusrol.

The 1974 U.S. Open, better known as the "Massacre at Winged Foot," has become a touchstone in the debate over what a golf championship should be. Depending on your perspective, it's either the U.S. Open at its best or the U.S. Open at its worst. With the national championship returning to Winged Foot this week, we ask what it means for a tournament venue to be insanely difficult. Our guests for this episode are Hale Irwin, Neil Regan, Mark Mulvoy, and Jeremy Schaap, reading from his father's classic book about the tournament.Brought to you by the U.S. Open Victory Club. Produced and hosted by Garrett Morrison. Edited and engineered by J Vierck. Transcript assistance from Jay Fischl. Music by Blue Dot Sessions.
