Summary
We focus on Tom Coyne's management of a golf course and his assertion that professional golf has become increasingly removed from everyday golfers. I describe how my father introduced me to golf and how links golf in Ireland changed my life. Tom argues against rolling the ball back and supports bifurcating equipment to protect the game for ordinary players. We discuss the current messy state of professional golf, its entertainment value, and the widening gap between elite earnings and weekend play. Tom shares personal details about books, music, retirement plans to play and read more, and a last meal choice of pizza. We close by urging listeners to play golf, enjoy the game, and be kind.
