    In this episode of Next on the Tee, we focus on one thing every golfer needs as the temperatures rise—comfort on the course. First, I’m joined by Teddy Lynn, Founder of Heathlander Golf. Teddy shares the real story behind building a golf shoe and apparel brand from the ground up, including the setbacks, the lessons learned, and the persistence it took to get it right—even buying back thousands of pairs of shoes along the way. That journey led to Heathlander winning Best New Product at the 2025 PGA Merchandise Show. We also dive into what makes their products stand out and what’s coming next. Then, Dave Williams, Co-Founder and President of 2UNDR, joins the show. We talk about solving one of golf’s most annoying problems—on-course discomfort—and how their innovative designs and moisture-wicking fabrics keep you cool, dry, and focused. Dave also shares insights on their 2026 lineup, how they landed Rickie Fowler as a brand ambassador, plus how other guys on the Tour are customers as well. It’s a fun and insightful episode with two founders who are making the game more comfortable from the ground up—literally.

    This week’s episode is a little different—in the best possible way—because it’s all about gratitude.

Then I’m joined by Dr. Bob Winters, “The Confidence Doctor,” who reminds us that the most important part of the game is the six inches between our ears. Bob shares powerful insights on the mental game, tournament preparation, and how gratitude and perspective can positively impact your performance. We wrap things up with "The Bikini Chef" Susan Irby, who brings great energy and practical advice on how to fuel your body during a round.

    This edition of Next on the Tee feels like a homecoming… as I’m joined by two longtime friends of the show and proud Pittsburgh natives who’ve each been with me since the very beginning. First up is Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor Eric Johnson. Eric has been a mainstay on that prestigious list for well over a decade, and his journey has taken him from 17 years at Oakmont…to Nemacolin…Yellowstone Club…and now to his new role as Director of Instruction at the legendary Baltusrol Golf Club. Eric shares what it’s been like stepping onto those historic grounds, reflects on last year’s U.S. Open at Oakmont, weighs in on Tiger’s latest challenges, and even gives us his picks for The Masters. Along the way, we share some laughs and pay tribute to a few special people who’ve helped shape his journey. Then I’m joined by one of the game’s true grinders, Bob Friend Jr. Bob reflects on the work ethic that defined his career, what it was like being one of only a few players to ever qualify for the U.S. Open on his home course, Oakmont, in 1994, which was also Arnold Palmer’s final appearance. You'll hear about what it was like to be on the course that day, the challenge of putting on greens during a recent tournament when they were rolling at an unbelievable 18 on the stimp, plus a great Jack Nicklaus story and a simple tip that can help all of us play better right away.

    S12, Ep 15: Gary Player Masters Wins, Legendary Golf Stories & Championship Mindset + Agustin Piza Brilliant Golf Course Designer, Talks Course Layout, Playing Strategy, MacKenzie, Nicklaus, Fazio, & Player

    On this episode of Next on the Tee, I’m joined by two incredible guests who bring both legendary perspective and modern innovation to the game. First up is my annual Masters week conversation with the great Gary Player. Mr. Player shares insights from his three Masters victories, how Mr. Palmer lost his focus and opened the door to Mr. Player's win in 1961, perhaps the greatest shot I've ever seen leading this win in '74, and how he nearly shot 27 on the back 9 in '78, leading to his 3rd Green Jacket. You'll also hear what it takes to develop a true championship mindset, how discipline, fitness, and preparation fueled his success and longevity in the game, and why his book Don't Choke should be required reading for every junior player. We finish talking about what today’s players can learn from the legends, and why growing the game and giving back remain so important to him. Then, I’m joined by world-renowned golf course designer Agustin Piza, who takes us inside the art and strategy of course design. Augie explains what separates a good course from a great one, how architecture influences shot-making and decision-making, and how modern design is evolving for today’s golfer. He also shares stories from his work around the world, with Nicklaus Construction, Tom Fazio, and Gary Player, plus his involvement in designing holes for TGL. You'll also hear how Alister MacKenzie redesigned bunkers for the British military to help disguise where their soldiers were set up during World War 1. Augie is a brilliant designer who thinks outside the box, has a fresh take, and an amazing artistic eye. His passion for design and the game shines throughout our conversation. You're really going to enjoy the segment. This episode is a perfect blend of legendary wisdom and forward-thinking innovation—one that will not only entertain you but might just change the way you see and play the game. #golf #golfpodcast #golfinstruction #golftips #golfstories #golflegends #garyplayer #masters #themasters #golfmindset #golftraining #golfcourse #golfcoursedesign #golfarchitecture #agustinpiza #jacknicklaus #tomfazio #tglgolf #pgatour #championshipgolf #golfstrategy #improveyourgolf #nextonthetee
