    World Golf Hall of Famer David Graham, Top 100 Instructors Tom Patri & Mike Malizia | U.S. Open, PGA Tour Changes, Ball Striking & Golf Improvement Tips

    On this episode of Next on the Tee, I welcome three of golf's most respected voices for an episode packed with championship stories, elite instruction, and game-improving advice. Leading off is our Resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri. I start off the segment by asking TP to explain his "why" behind doing what he does. From there, I ask him to explain the phrase "great ball striker," and isn't everyone on Tour a great ball striker? We discuss how the guys at the US Open couldn't pull off the 4-wood shot Corey Pavin hit to secure his 1995 US Open victory at Shinnecock, plus another round of bad fan behavior on Long Island. Next, World Golf Hall of Famer David Graham joins me, and we relive an extraordinary Hall of Fame career that included victories at the PGA Championship and U.S. Open, plus 40 professional wins across six continents. David shares memories of winning at Merion, being honored this year at Jack Nicklaus' Memorial Tournament, and offers his perspective on the PGA Tour's proposed Championship Series, the future of professional golf, and what today's young players must do to become champions. Then, Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor Mike Malizia makes a return visit. Mike starts off by taking us through his blueprint for practicing more effectively, developing Tour-level fundamentals, improving your putting routine, and maximizing your performance—even if you only have 45 minutes to practice. Mike also discusses how technology and AI are influencing golf instruction, why the lead heel remains an important part of a powerful golf swing, and why understanding people is just as important as understanding the golf swing. Whether you're looking for golf instruction, golf swing tips, ball striking drills, putting improvement, PGA Tour news, U.S. Open analysis, World Golf Hall of Fame stories, or insights from some of the game's greatest teachers and champions, this episode delivers practical advice, unforgettable stories, and the inspiration to help you play your best golf. I hope you'll also join me over on Substack for exclusive golf articles, behind-the-scenes stories, bonus content, and your weekly dose of Vitamin G—because this is where golf legends live and your game gets better. #Golf #GolfPodcast #GolfInstruction #GolfTips #GolfSwing #GolfSwingTips #GolfLessons #GolfPractice #BallStriking #PuttingTips #ShortGame #GolfPerformance #MentalGame #GolfCoach #PGAProfessional #Top100Instructor #GolfMagazine #WorldGolfHallOfFame #DavidGraham #TomPatri #MikeMalizia #USOpen #PGATour #GolfNews #GolfLife #GolfCommunity #GolfAddict #WeekendGolfer #AmateurGolf #PlayBetterGolf #ImproveYourGolf #GolfTraining #GolfSkills #GolfDrills #GolfStrategy #GolfFitness #GolfMindset #JackNicklaus #BenHogan #Merion #ShinnecockHills #GolfHistory #GolfLegends #NextOnTheTee #ChrisMascaro #WhereGolfLegendsLive #YourGameGetsBetter #VitaminG #Substack #GolfContent

    From Rock Bottom to Remarkable: Leigh Steinberg on The Comeback & Giving Back, Scott Hamilton on Resilience & Never Giving Up, John Inman on Golf & the Changing Landscape of Sports & the PGA Tour

    This week on Next on the Tee, three champions join me to share stories that go far beyond sports. Legendary sports agent Leigh Steinberg, 1984 NCAA Champion John Inman, and Olympic Gold Medalist Scott Hamilton open up about overcoming adversity, leadership, perseverance, and the lessons they've learned at the highest levels of competition. Leigh Steinberg takes us inside his remarkable journey from representing some of the biggest names in sports to battling alcoholism, losing everything, and fighting his way back. We discuss his inspiring new book, The Comeback: A Playbook for Turning Life's Setbacks Into Victories, the heartfelt foreword written by Troy Aikman, the importance of giving back, the changing landscape of college athletics, NIL, sports gambling, and what true success really means. John Inman returns to share his thoughtful perspective on today's college sports environment, whether NIL has shifted the balance too far toward athletes, the growing influence of gambling across sports, and why fan behavior is becoming a concern in professional golf. He also reflects on his unforgettable years at the University of North Carolina during one of the greatest championship eras in college athletics. Then, Olympic legend Scott Hamilton joins me for one of the most inspiring conversations we've ever had. Scott looks back on carrying the American flag during the 1980 Winter Olympics, shares behind-the-scenes stories from Lake Placid and his friendship with legendary skier Ingemar Stenmark, discusses covering his 10th Winter Olympics for NBC, and explains why one simple message has become his philosophy for living a joyful life: our possessions are just "garbage"—it's our relationships, experiences, and gratitude that truly matter. Whether you're passionate about golf, sports, leadership, personal growth, or simply need a reminder that setbacks don't define your future, this episode delivers unforgettable stories, practical wisdom, and a healthy dose of Vitamin G—gratitude. #GolfPodcast #Golf #GolfLife #GolfTips #GolfInstruction #GolfCommunity #Golfers #PGA #PGATour #GolfLegends #GolfHistory #MentalGame #SportsPodcast #Podcast #Leadership #Resilience #Comeback #NeverGiveUp #PersonalGrowth #Motivation #Inspiration #SuccessMindset #LeighSteinberg #ScottHamilton #JohnInman #TroyAikman #Olympics #OlympicChampion #FigureSkating #CollegeSports #NIL #SportsBusiness #SportsLeadership #SportsAgent #SportsGambling #NorthCarolinaGolf #ChampionMindset #PeakPerformance #WinningMindset #VitaminG #Gratitude #NextOnTheTee

    S13, Ep 29: Shinnecock Hills U.S. Open Preview, Tom Patri, Jack Conger on AimPoint & Joe Grohman's Adaptive Golf Mission

    This week on Next on the Tee, I have another outstanding lineup featuring a trio of Hall of Fame instructors, with game-changing insights from across the golf world. Leading off is Sunshine State Conference Hall of Famer and Next on the Tee Resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri. Tom takes us inside Shinnecock Hills. We discuss the challenges of playing Shinnecock when the winds are blowing, the history of the U.S. Open at the course, memorable victories by Raymond Floyd, Corey Pavin, Retief Goosen, and Brooks Koepka, and how only 3 players and 2 winners have ever finished under par there. Next, Central New York PGA Section Hall of Famer and four-time PGA Teacher of the Year Jack Conger joins the show. Jack shares stories from his remarkable teaching career, offers a fresh perspective on the AimPoint putting system, and explains why many golfers misunderstand how it should be used. He also discusses his work with Fast First Golf and how swinging faster also keeps the ball straighter. In the final segment, I'm joined by Long Beach PGA Hall of Famer and eight-time Patriot Award winner Joe Grohman. Joe shares the incredible work being done through his Adaptive Golf Program and Foundation, helping military veterans and individuals with physical challenges learn, return to, and enjoy the game of golf. We also revisit Joe's longtime relationship with Earl and Tiger Woods, and also his thoughts on the U.S. Open as well. If you love golf instruction, U.S. Open history, PGA professionals, putting improvement, adaptive golf, military veteran programs, and stories from the game's most respected teachers, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
