## Resource

On this week's edition of Next on the Tee, I have the privilege of welcoming three outstanding guests who share major championship insights, mental game strategies, and behind-the-scenes stories from the highest levels of golf. First, four-time Hall of Famer Richard Zokol discusses his new book, Zokology: Change Your Perspective Not Your Swing , and shares why the right mindset, a dependable pre-shot routine, and learning to perform under pressure are the true keys to better golf. He also tells us why another Canadian legend, George Knudson, told him he shouldn't be excited about earning his Tour card, and the lesson we can learn from Jack Nicklaus when he said to Author Ken Bowden immediately following the Duel in the Sun, "of course, we'll have dinner, Ken, it's only a game." Next, legendary golf journalist and Western Pennsylvania Golf Association Hall of Famer Ron Sirak weighs in on Aaron Rai's PGA Championship victory, the future of the LPGA Tour, leadership concerns at the PGA of America, and what the women's game needs to do to grow its audience. The show wraps up with 2003 PGA Champion Shaun Micheel, who takes us inside the Champions Dinner at the PGA Championship, discusses the challenge of getting a spot on the PGA TOUR Champions and European Legends Tour. Shaun is very passionate about the game and competing and you'll hear all it in this segment. If you love PGA Championship stories, golf instruction, mental game insights, and conversations with some of the most respected voices in the game, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better. #NextOnTheTee #GolfPodcast #PGATour #PGATourChampions #PGAChampionship #AaronRai #RichardZokol #RonSirak #ShaunMicheel #JackNicklaus #ScottieScheffler #GolfMent…
