    On this episode of Next on the Tee, I get to share with you two outstanding guests who have achieved greatness in their fields and share incredible stories, insights, and advice. First up is PGA Master Professional John Hughes, making his seventh appearance on the show. Achieving PGA Master Professional status is one of the highest levels in golf instruction, earned by only about 480 of the more than 30,000 PGA Professionals worldwide—placing John among the top 1% of golf instructors. John shares fantastic golf tips and instruction to help improve your game, including how to warm up quickly when you're running late for your tee time, how to overcome fear and negative thinking on the golf course, and how to make more consistent center-clubface contact like the pros do. Then I cross over into the worlds of track and field and the NFL with former LSU and Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Eddie Kennison. Eddie reflects on his remarkable athletic career, being inducted into the Louisiana and Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, and why—more than three decades after leaving LSU for the NFL Draft—he returned to school in his 50s to earn his college degree. Eddie also shares stories about playing for legendary coaches including Mike Ditka and Dick Vermeil, discusses how the wide receiver position has evolved over the years, and even talks about his appearance on Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares thanks to his passion for cooking.

    S13, Ep 8: Make More Putts: Expert Putting Tips from Tom Patri & Taylor Crosby

    In this episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by two of the game’s top instructors to help you lower your scores where it matters most—on the greens. Since nearly 40–50% of our strokes are with the putter, eliminating three-putts can make an immediate difference in your game. First up is top instructor Tom Patri, who shares insights from a putting clinic he hosted at Twin Eagles in Naples, Florida. Tom breaks down the fundamentals of the putting stroke, including whether it should be straight back and straight through or naturally arcing, how to aim the putter face more accurately, and whether the “ball under your lead eye” setup rule is fact or myth. In segment two, I'm joined by Taylor Crosby, Lead Instructor at The Kingdom at Lake Oconee, who discusses how golfers can achieve more center-face contact, what he commonly sees during putter fittings, and the differences between mallet and blade putters. Taylor also reveals one of the most overlooked fundamentals that we don’t practice enough. If you want to make more putts, eliminate three-putts, and gain confidence on the greens, this episode is packed with practical golf tips, putting instruction, and insights from two of the game’s best teachers. #GolfPodcast #GolfTips #PuttingTips #GolfInstruction #GolfLessons #TomPatri #TaylorCrosby #PutterFitting #LowerYourScores #GolfImprovement
