On this episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by 2013 Senior Open Champion Mark Wiebe and golf equipment innovator David Kelly. Leading things off, Mark Wiebe shares his thoughts on this year's PGA Championship and Aaron Rai's breakthrough victory before taking us back to the 1989 PGA Championship, where he recorded his best finish in a major. Mark reflects on battling some of the greatest players in golf history, including Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros, Curtis Strange, Tom Watson, Ben Crenshaw, and eventual champion Payne Stewart. He also recounts one of the most remarkable days in golf history at the 1989 U.S. Open, when he and three other players made hole-in-ones on the same hole within a span of roughly 90 minutes. Plus, I ask Mark what changes he would make if he were PGA Tour Commissioner for a day, and his candid thoughts on the future of professional golf. Following Mark is longtime golf equipment expert and Kelly & Co Golf Founder David Kelly. With more than 45 years in the golf equipment industry and experience with companies including LAB Golf and Makefield Putters, David takes us inside the evolution of putter technology—from classics like the Ping Anser and Wilson 8802 to today's custom-built designs. He explains the truth behind "zero torque" putters, why a few grams of weight can be the difference between making and missing a 10-foot putt, and how golfers can optimize feel, balance, and performance through custom fitting. David also shares the story behind his handcrafted Kelly & Co Golf putters and the personalization options that make each one unique. If you're a fan of PGA Championship history, major championship golf, golf legends, putting instruction, custom golf equipment, and insights that can help you improve your game, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Aaron Stewart, Senior Vice President of Sports & Event Marketing for Hilton Grand Vacations and Executive Director of the HGV Tournament of Champions, taking place at Lake Nona Co Club, the week of Jan. 26, talks about the exclusive, limited field of the LPGA Tour's season-opening event, the depth of talent on the LPGA, the unique celebrity field that distinguishes the tournament, and the impact of Hilton Grand Vacations aligning its brand with women's sports. He also shares personal reflections on his late father, golf legend Payne Stewart, and the enduring life and leadership lessons he learned from his Dad.
John Ashton and Top 100 teacher Jeff Smith reflect on their post-Thanksgiving weekend, discussing the return to golf after the holiday festivities. They reminisce about the beloved "Skins Game," a televised match play golf competition that featured nine holes on Thursday and Friday, where players competed for substantial prize money while being themselves on camera. The hosts pay tribute to Fuzzy Zoeller, the legendary golfer who recently passed away, sharing memorable stories about his infectious humor and charismatic personality. They recall watching Zoeller play tournament golf with genuine enjoyment and spontaneity, including a charming anecdote about fishing at a North Carolina golf course, highlighting how Zoeller brought joy and levity to the game. The speakers reminisce about Fuzzy Zoeller's charismatic personality and his memorable golf course at Covered Bridge, where he hosted the Wolf Challenge tournament. They share anecdotes about Fuzzy's generous nature, including a story where he bought drinks for strangers at his course. The conversation highlights celebrity appearances at the Wolf Challenge, such as Alice Cooper, and a memorable encounter where the speakers transported Greg Norman in a jitney from Indianapolis to the event, during which they witnessed Norman's remarkable tolerance for American beer while remaining completely composed. John and Jeff, hosts of a golf podcast, discuss how Fuzzy Zoeller's comments were taken out of context by media when they were actually jokes that Tiger Woods understood and appreciated. The hosts reflect on their twelve-year podcast journey, which started as a way to make golf tax-deductible after John left radio. They humorously discuss how they've managed to turn their passion for golf into a sustainable venture, joking about potentially becoming "vintage" themselves soon and playfully ribbing each other about their setup differences and physical challenges that come with age. The speakers discuss the rise of back injuries among young professional golfers, using Justin Thomas's recent surgery as an example. They explore whether modern teaching methods, increased athleticism, or more violent swing techniques contribute to these injuries. A golf instructor notes that contemporary players generate swings with greater speed and force than previous generations, combined with higher playing frequency. The conversation raises questions about whether golf instruction bears responsibility for developing safer techniques, and whether the modern athletic approach to golf—where players condition themselves like NFL athletes—might actually be causing more harm through excessive stress on the body. The speakers discuss how modern golf has evolved dramatically, with equipment improvements and athlete development pushing players to achieve unprecedented distances, now exceeding 300 yards as standard. Jeff Smith and John Ashton explore whether the intense physical demands of contemporary golf are causing preventable injuries, comparing the sport to other athletic pursuits. They debate whether golfers are damaging their bodies by performing movements at speeds and frequencies their bodies aren't designed for, contrasting today's explosive athletes with smoother, more fluid swingers like Ernie Els and Fred Couples. The conversation highlights how professional golfers increasingly sacrifice their physical health for competitive success, a trend mirroring injury patterns seen in other sports. The speakers discuss whether the graceful, fluid swings of longer hitters like Payne Stewart and Phil Mickelson are safer than the aggressive, fast swings of younger players like Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris. They speculate that faster swings may increase injury risk, particularly back injuries, and wonder if younger players are making calculated sacrifices, accepting potential long-term damage in exchange for short-term success and financial gain. The conversation explores how modern physical training at tour stops aims to build both strength and injury protection, with Rory McIlroy exemplifying this philosophy—athletes knowingly push their bodies to dangerous limits to compete at the highest level, accepting injury as an inevitable cost of dominance. The speakers discuss a situation where someone made a straightforward decision to prioritize their own wellbeing and longevity in their career. Rather than viewing this as an excuse, they recognize it as a practical and sensible choice. The speakers appreciate this person's unwillingness to sacrifice their own interests, viewing it as a mature and reasonable approach to protecting their professional future.

The Home of American Golf couldn't be prouder that the World Golf Hall of Fame has returned to its original home in Pinehurst. Located at the USGA's Golf House Pinehurst campus, the WGHOF also includes the USGA Experience.The unique locker room design of the WGHOF provides a fun insight into the careers of legendary players and other inductees who helped shape the game of golf. It's director, Mike Trostel is literally a walking encyclopedia and historian who takes great pride in collecting the items for the lockers that tell the story of each and every person enshrined in the facility.In this episode of Paradise in the Pines, Trostel talks about his role with the WGHOF, his passion for the game of golf and a special new display in the coming year featuring the late and beloved Payne Stewart.
My guest on this episode needs no introduction as he is a legend in the game and one of my childhood heroes. He is 14 time PGA Tour winner, including the 1983 PGA Champion where he beat Jack Nicklaus buy 1 and the 1983 and 2000 Players champion where he held off Tiger Woods and you guessed it, the owner of one of the most famous golf lines after hitting his second shot into the 18th green....."Be the right club. Be the right club today" He was the 1983 leading money winner and player of the year and also the comback player of the year in 1994. He played on 4 Ryder Cups and was the captain of the 2004 American squad.... You guessed it I am talking about Mr. Hal Sutton. Its also worth mentioning that he was the recipient of the 2007 Payne Stewart award. So I thought as the Ryder cup approaches, who better to talk to than someone who lived it. We had an amazing discussion that included his father's influence on his life and some of the decisions that he made to how he dealt with the low points and adversity in his career to much more. This is one of the few times that I have been nervous before going into an interview because I have so much respect for Hal, his career and how lives his life and his contributions to the game so give me some grace on this one. We didn't get to half of the topics and questions that I had prepared so hopefully there will be a part 2 but It was an honor to sit down with the legend. This conversation is filled with so many great stories and life lessons that you can apply to your life and golf. So without further delay, here is Hal Sutton...enjoy!

This week, the crew is back at the kitchen table – and while Brian is away, Matt, Doug, and Unkie dive deep into what firemen talk about inside the engine, from banter to serious pre-call game plans.We kick things off with a little parlay talk (Doug's gambling, not the French kind), some seasoning chat (support UnkieSeasoning.com!), and housekeeping. But the real heat comes when we get into what happens when the tones drop.In This Episode:
At long last, Andy has returned from sea (and air!). He joins Brendan and is fired up off the jump, coming in hot to defend the city of Chicago after last week's "slander." Andy's back just in time for golf's Super Bowl - the Tour Championship at East Lake. Brendan shares some quotes from an Adam Schupak article about the event possibly heading out of Atlanta sometime soon, only to find that Tim Finchem might've promised the event would stay there "in perpetuity." The winner of this week's event, which is now being played without Starting Strokes, will win both the tournament and the FedEx Cup for the 2025 season, unlike Jon Rahm's LIV title that came with zero victories. Rahm compared his win-without-winning to climbing Mt. Everest, sending Brendan off the rails at the preposterousness of that comparison. After running through the Schedule for the Week, Andy and Brendan then get into the 2026 Schedule for the Year after the PGA Tour announced its dates for next season. Trump Doral will host a new Signature Event in May, making it nearly impossible for rookies and those without signature status to play between the Masters and the PGA Championship. In other news, Paul Azinger will receive the Payne Stewart Award this week and Andy has a few questions about how the committee chose him as the 2025 recipient. TGL has announced the start date for its second season, going head-to-head with an NFL Sunday in December. This leads into an NFL Minute to close out this episode - Andy loves what he's seeing from the Bears, Joe Flacco is starting for Brendan's Browns, and PJ is already apathetic about Justin Fields and the Jets.
From 1 Peter 2:21 - this incorporates the scripture, the book "In His Steps," and a reference to Payne Stewart for wearing the WWJD bracelet as a wittness for Christ.

My wife and I had been staying at a friend's house at the New Jersey shore. It was a great setting to be working on a book about "Peaceful Living in a Stressful World." One night this powerful storm hit the area, and we heard the wind howling and the rain was bombarding that house all night long. By morning, the storm was over, and I wanted to go to the beach to see what the storm tide might have deposited there. Even though the sun was out and the storm was history, the sea was still churning all brown. In fact, even when there wasn't a storm that week, the ocean never rested. I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Peace Deficit." There are times when the sea is more turbulent than others - like during and after that storm we experienced - but it's never really calm. Not unlike what's going on inside a lot of people's hearts - maybe yours. There are times that are more turbulent than others for sure, but there's never any lasting personal peace. It's not that we don't try to find something that will give us peace. We try all kinds of antidotes, all kinds of anesthetics, all kinds of escapes, all kinds of experiences, relationships, or people. But still where's the lasting peace? The Bible tells us about a condition that's described in our word for today from the Word of God very graphically in Isaiah 57:20-21. What a picture this is! "The wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud." Now, we can all picture that. If you've ever been to the ocean, you can picture it. That's a human heart. "'There is no peace,' says my God, 'for the wicked.'" Now, we don't want to think we're part of the people God calls "the wicked." But I am and so are you. Because God is referring to all those who have broken His laws, who have run their own lives, and who have missed His standard of perfection. Hello? That would be every one of us. And the Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). And God's X-ray of what's going on in our heart reveals a two-word bottom line - "No peace." It may be a feeling that you know all too well. No relationship has ever given you lasting personal peace, no accomplishment, not even a religion or spiritual experience. After golfer Payne Stewart died in a plane crash, some years ago really, a lot of us learned about a personal commitment he had made to Jesus Christ about a year before. In that last year of his life, he said "I'm so much more at peace with myself than I've ever been in my life. I don't understand how I lived so long without it." Maybe you've lived long enough without that peace. You'll find it where Payne Stewart and millions of others have found it...in a relationship with Jesus Christ. There's no peace until you have peace with God. And there's no peace with God until that sin that separates you from Him is forgiven. And there's no forgiveness without the Savior who died to pay for your sin. As the Bible says, "The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him" (Isaiah 53:5). Are you ready for some peace in your soul; the peace that has eluded you all these years? Then you're ready for Jesus. You're ready to begin your personal relationship with Jesus Christ - the love you were made for. And you begin it by giving you to Him. You can tell Him that right where you are, "Jesus, I'm done running my own life. I deserve the penalty for that, but you took it on the cross. And because you love me that much, I love you back and I'm giving me to you beginning today. I am yours." At that point, I can say, "Welcome to the family of God." I want you to go to our website and there find the information that will help you be sure you belong to Jesus Christ. It's ANewStory.com. Like the ocean that never rests, your heart may have never really been at peace. But it's about to be if you'll claim this promise from Jesus Himself, "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you." {module Open a chat window - needhim}

(00:01) Improving Golf Swing Accuracy and Control This chapter focuses on golf techniques and the importance of control in improving one's game. Jeff Smith shares insights from his time in Palm Springs, highlighting the seasonal migration to maintain optimal golfing conditions. He recounts a conversation with former NFL player Vencey Glenn, who took lessons to master the game and was surprised by the concept of slowing down the swing for better results. We explore how controlling the club, body, and landing spot leads to more accurate and longer shots. Jeff emphasizes a specific drill involving golf tees to improve clubface contact and promote a consistent swing. By practicing control, golfers can enhance their posture and overall performance on the course. (12:00) Improving Ball Striking With Proper Setup This chapter addresses a listener's question about golf swings and the importance of taking a divot when using irons. We explore the significance of scuffing or scraping the ground to achieve the right ball height and distance. It's highlighted that the correct intent and stance can greatly affect swing outcomes, emphasizing the need to swing downward rather than forward. Additionally, we discuss how standing too far from the ball might lead to thin shots and suggest a simple check to ensure proper distance from the club. By ensuring the right distance and intent, golfers can improve their swing and ball trajectory. (23:19) Mastering Center Face Contact in Golf This chapter explores the importance of achieving center face contact in golf to improve performance. We emphasize that this is not just a simple swing tip but a fundamental aspect that can enhance every golfer's game, whether in long shots or short game scenarios with wedges. By focusing on the basics and understanding the significance of hitting the ball at the center of the club face, golfers can improve distance, height, and spin. We also address common misconceptions, such as altering swings based on trends rather than focusing on what truly enhances performance. By reframing the golfer's mindset and reinforcing the importance of fundamentals, we aim to guide listeners toward consistent and effective golf practices. (27:33) Golf Swing Techniques and Setup This chapter explores the ongoing debate between traditional and modern golfing techniques. I examine the methods of legendary golfers like Payne Stewart and Jack Nicklaus, comparing them to current trends promoted by Instagram influencers, such as the focus on a weak left hand and bowing the club. By analyzing different swing styles, I challenge the notion that a singular technique guarantees success, emphasizing that great golfers have diverse methods yet share the ability to consistently strike the ball well. I discuss how factors like setup, grip, and body angles play crucial roles in achieving a balanced and repeatable swing, encouraging golfers to prioritize solid contact and control. Ultimately, I highlight the importance of adapting techniques to individual needs and fostering a sense of balance and athleticism in the golf swing. (36:03) Club Fitting and Equipment Improvement This chapter explores the intriguing world of golf club fitting, focusing on unconventional approaches like Bryson DeChambeau's technique and the emerging trend of single lie angle fittings. We examine how DeChambeau's unique strength and club modifications enable him to maintain effective swing positions, sparking curiosity about whether similar adjustments could benefit average golfers. The discussion extends to the practicality and challenges of single length and single lie angle clubs, especially for players of varying heights and growing children. We also consider the role of a skilled club fitter in balancing equipment with technique, emphasizing that while equipment plays a role, improving one's game primarily comes from refining technique. Through a mix of insights and questions, we underscore the importance of personalized equipment fitting tailored to enhance individual performance. (45:34) Improving Golf Performance With Techniques This chapter explores the sentimental attachment golfers have to their favorite clubs and the notion that sometimes, older equipment may perform better than newer models. We discuss how a Titleless head cover can keep your preferred clubs under wraps and share a personal anecdote about a brother-in-law who reverted to using his old Ping I2 irons, finding them superior to his newer clubs. The focus is on the idea that while equipment evolves and changes each year, improving technique is key to enhancing your game. We highlight the importance of finding what works best for you, regardless of trends, and encourage continuous practice to achieve better results on the golf course.

Hypoxia is a significant danger in aviation and an insidious killer of passengers and pilots. Special guest Miles O'Brien hosts a discussion with aviation experts Todd Curtis, Greg Feith, and John Goglia that covers how hypoxia impacts all forms of aviation. They discuss personal experiences with hypoxia and share insights from several hypoxia-related accidents.Hypoxia is a condition where the human body is deprived of oxygen which can reduce mental function. Hypoxia can be particularly hazardous for pilots because someone experiencing hypoxia may not be aware of its symptoms or its effects on their performance.One high-profile incident in 1999 took the life to golfer Payne Stewart. He was a passenger in a Learjet 35 that took off from Orlando Executive Airport and became non-responsive to air traffic control. Fighter jets intercepted the plane and determined the crew was unconscious. After 1500 miles the jet ran out of fuel and crashed over South Dakota. Greg, Todd, Miles, and John have all experienced hypoxia in controlled altitude chambers. They share their experiences, which include feelings of euphoria, reduced mental capacity, reduced physical performance, and even a case of high-altitude bends. Key to understanding hypoxia is the concept of time of useful consciousness, which is the amount of time a person can spend at altitude without feeling the effects of hypoxia. That period of time gets smaller as altitude increases. Age, stress, and other factors may shorten those times.Related documents are at the Flight Safety Detectives website.

The Pinehurst Cure and the Road to the US Open is a stirring, heartfelt, and sweeping narrative story of how golf's greatest champions found magic on the hallowed fairways of the most celebrated golf course in America, Pinehurst No. 2—the site of the 2024 US Open. The title comes from New York Times bestselling golf writer James Dodson, who wrote and narrates the story. While living in the tiny golfing village of Pinehurst, North Carolina, Dodson discovered a phenomenon he calls “The Pinehurst Cure.” It's the place's particular magic to change the lives of people when they need it most, including some of the best golfers in the world, from Payne Stewart to Michelle Wie, Arnold Palmer to Ben Hogan, and Donald Ross and Harvie Ward, who Dodson calls “the greatest golfer most people have never heard of.” But it's Dodson's personal stories that create a roadmap for this audio journey, with his own Pinehurst Cures leading the way. Episode 2 will be released on Wednesday, June 19th. Episode 3 will be released on Wednesday, June 26th.
On this episode of the Club + Resort Talks podcast, Rob Thomas speaks with Patricio Misitrano, Co-Founder of The Sports Haus in Norwalk, Conn. The Sports Haus is an indoor club with padel, pickleball and golf sims—the first club to have these three sports under one roof IN THE WORLD! Misitrano, who formerly directed three platinum clubs, talks about padel and how most clubs are not getting ready for what's coming. It happened to a lot of clubs with pickleball and it will happen again with padel if GMs, Boards and Directors don't act proactively. He also peers into his crystal ball, looking 5-10 years in the future to forecast what's on the horizon. Rob and Club + Resort Business Senior Editor Phil Keren discussed projects happening at three different resorts, as well as a club paying tribute to a legendary golfer. Here is an overview of the three projects Rob and Phil reviewed: • Grand Geneva Resort & Spa in Lake Geneva, Wisc., is marking its 30th anniversary with the opening of fully renovated banquet space and meeting rooms. Overall, the resort offers five large ballrooms, four boardrooms, the ballroom foyer, and public restrooms. The rooms are equipped with modern technology and contemporary designs, while all meeting and event spaces are now open and available for meetings and events. • Canyon Ranch Austin, in Spicewood, Texas, will begin construction this summer on a 223,739-sq.-ft. resort. The new resort will have guest lodging, a spa, fitness and dining facilities, a medical clinic, and various administrative and support functions. The Spicewood location will be the fifth Canyon Ranch location to open in the U.S. • Later this year, Horseshoe Bay (Texas) Resort will open a new 3,000 sq. ft. instructional facility called Cap Rock Golf Academy. It will have two indoor bays with Trackman and Toptracer technology, club-fitting services, a club repair room, and a demonstration area with shafts, grips and clubheads. Phil and Rob concluded their conversation by spotlighting an article written by PMQ Pizza magazine Senior Editor Charlie Pogacar (PMQ is owned by the same company as CRB, WTWH Media). Charlie's piece shared the story of how Mill Creek Golf Course, a semi-private club in Mebane, N.C., pays tribute to legendary golfer and two-time U.S. Open champion, Payne Stewart. Stewart died in an airplane accident in October 1999, four months after sinking a par putt on the final hole to win his second U.S. Open title. Pogacar's piece talks about an event that happened shortly after Stewart's victory, which connects the late golfer with Mill Creek. Rob and Phil shared their memories of Stewart, who was known for his unique attire, a brash personality and a fluid swing. Stewart's bravado softened over time and culminated with him congratulating a young Phil Mickelson on becoming a new father just moments after Stewart sank his winning putt at the 1999 U.S. Open.
