Simon Millington is resurrecting several of the iconic brands in golf, like MacGregor, Ram, Ben Hogan, Zebra, and Teardrop. We hear about the MacGregor MT86 irons, Ram FX77 irons, what makes Zebra putters, formerly used by Raymond Floyd and Nick Price to win majors, the easiest putters to line up, and the exciting relaunch of the Ben Hogan Golf brand coming next month.
Clark Dennis started his college golf career at the University of Arkansas where he was teammates with John Daly. Clark says John has been the same guy going all the way back to their junior golf days. Clark turned pro in 1986 and we hear about his first victory on the then Nike Tour defeating Jim Furyk and Sonny Skinner in a playoff at the 1993 Bakersfield Open. Clark finished T6 at the 1994 US Open at Oakmont. He watched from the 10th fairway as Arnold Palmer walked up 18 for the final time in his US Open career. He right in the thick of it until the back 9 on Sunday. We also hear about Clark's back-to-back Senior Italian Open titles and how he came from 6 shots back during the final round of the 2017 Dutch Masters tournament to take home the trophy.
Steve Fluke is the Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer for Power2Golf. They've designed a swingless golf club for adaptive golfers who can no longer swing a club. It's a fascinating device which players can dial up distances, change trajectory, and hit fades and hooks. He takes us through what is literally the rocket science behind the club.
Tom Patri joins me in the final segment and we discuss the rules we weekend warriors created like 2 off the first tee, mulligans, the fall and winter leaf rule, plus stroke and distance when we should go back to the tee. We also talk about the one rule we'd change if we could.
