PGATOUR.COM's Sean Martin guest hosts and welcomes childhood friend and elite swing instructor Chris Como to discuss the importance of understanding human motion and biomechanics in improving performance. Como also shares insights into working with top players like Xander Schauffele, Jason Day, and Pierceson Coody.

In Part 1 of Episode 37, I'm thrilled to be joined for the 100th time by Tom Patri, along with a special return visit from the 1989 Open Champion, Mark Calcavecchia. Tom Patri and I kick things off by reflecting on last week's Scottish Open and Robert MacIntyre's impressive victory. We also discuss the ISCO Championship and the close call for Pierceson Coody, a rising star Tom has been touting. Tom shares his experiences playing at Royal Troon and offers a valuable putting lesson on how to get the ball rolling end over end instead of skidding for the first few feet. Mark Calcavecchia returns to share memories from his triumph at the 1989 Open Championship, held at this year's venue, Royal Troon. He discusses the challenges of the 123-yard 8th hole, famously known as The Postage Stamp, and recounts his long par save on the 11th hole, the slam dunk chip shot he made on the 12th that shifted his mindset, and what it felt like standing over a 7-footer on the final playoff hole with three putts to win. Mark also shares his prediction for who will be holding the Claret Jug this Sunday afternoon.

In this episode, Matt Cook discusses Buttsy's brisket incident, pays tribute to Grayson Murray and calls for mental health awareness in golf. He analyzes Harry Higgs' success, NCAA championships, and performances at the Charles Schwab Challenge. Then he shifts gears to discuss Scottie Scheffler, Keegan Bradley and Pierceson Coody's performances, and the upcoming RBC Canadian Open. He also dives into caddie nightmares and LIV Golf Houston.

Two top Rookies on the PGA Tour, Parker and Pierceson Coody, join the show. The Twins had stellar amateur careers at the University of Texas and recently qualified for the PGA Tour. They talk about growing up with professional golfers in the family, discuss short-game techniques, and offer their thoughts on LIV Golf.

We kick off Season 10 with a bang featuring conversations with my guests 4-time Instructor of the Year Tom Patri, 5-time winner on the PGA Tour Jim Gallagher Jr., 1978 PGA Champion & 1986 Players Champion John Mahaffey, and the Founder of On Point Golf Briston Peterson. Tom Patri shares his thoughts on the battle between LIV Golf & the PGA Tour, his time spent with Arnold Palmer, why he thinks we need to watch out for Pierceson Coody, and in our new segment Tom's Tip of the Week, hear why we all need to take our 4 iron out and put a 7-wood in the bag. Jim Gallagher Jr. talks about joining his wife Cissye as an inductee into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. We go back and hear about Jim's big win at the 1993 Tour Championship and taking home the biggest check in PGA Tour history at the time. We also talk about what it was like for him to be sitting in the lead after the first round of the 1991 Masters. We get to hear what it was like for John Mahaffey when he came back from 3 strokes down with 4 holes to play to win the 1986 Players Championship and what it was like standing on that 18th tee trying to win that tournament. We also talk about his wins at the 1979 Bob Hope Desert Classic and teaming with Joann Carner to win the 1982 JC Penney Mixed Team Classic. Plus John is a great writer. We hear about his great murder mystery series of books that started with "Shafted", and the second book in the series, "Unfinished Business" just came out. The third book, "Dead Quiet", is in editing right now and will hopefully be out soon. Get your copies of all John's books by going online to www.johnmahaffeyauthor.com or on Amazon. Briston Peterson is the Founder of On Point Golf. Their 3D ball markers have captured the attention and imagination of the golf world. Jim Furyk saw a prototype and now uses one. We hear about the concept, and how it helps improve focus on the putting line so we can make more putts. I know I'll have some in my bag from now on. Check out why Jim Furyk and I like them so much by going online to www.onpointgolf.us

The bases are expanding from 15-inch squares to 18 inches, which cuts down the distance between them by 4 1/2 inches. The distance between third and home and home and first was trimmed by 3 inches. With the new bases, major league teams could try a more aggressive approach on the basepaths. The bases also could help prevent injuries.

They also discuss CBS's shot predictor feature in what was a weekend of love for the broadcast. The Saudi International, DP World Tour, and KFT winners are all given their dues, with particular angst about Pierceson Coody stuck down in the minors.

Golf delivered again on Sunday with compelling dramas, handshake controversies, and coverage angst. Andy and Brendan begin with the Women's PGA Championship, where Lexi Thompson had another torturous Sunday collapse in a major. They compare it to last year's slow bleed at Olympic, and wonder how she can keep coming back. There are also some kind words on Congressional and harsher words for the pace of play and a skimpy broadcast window. Xander's weekend at the Travelers is assessed, both good and bad, and the thrill of Theegala, both good and bad, is also praised. They ponder the Tour's next move in light of Pierceson Coody's impressive showing after turning down LIV money while Oklahoma State stud Eugenio Chacarra turned pro to take the LIV cash.
