Zach Healy and Jack Larkin Jr. are quietly proving how much better it gets when it isn't. The two former University of Georgia golfers — roommates for all five years, four-ball partners ever since — join Matt and The Professor to talk about the format that's given them a second golf life: USGA Four-Ball. They've made a habit of tearing up the amateur scene, and this year they finished T2 in stroke play and came a single shot shy of the championship's single-round record with a 63. What the conversation dives into: Why the best four-ball teams aren't the perfect ones — and how one early bogey stopped mattering The 63 in the Arizona desert: six birdies in the first eight holes, cocktails in hand, trading who could one-up the other The unglamorous re-navigation back into competitive golf after college, and why you have to be willing to shoot 80 in a qualifier to get sharp again Getting smarter as you get older: swapping a 15-year putter for a \"spaceship,\" and checking the ego at the door Gamesmanship inside the ropes — walking fast, talking a lot, and where the line actually is Jack Larkin Sr., the family blueprint for playing high-level golf at 65, and who wins when three Larkins tee it up Connect with our guests Zach Healy — 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/z_jhealy | 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zachary-healy/ Jack Larkin — 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jlarkin_uga | 💼 https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-larkin-b738a4126/ Follow The Bag Drop 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebagdrop 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/thebagdropgolf 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBagDropGolf Listen to The Bag Drop 🎧 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bag-drop-untold-stories-in-golf/id1430328006 🎧…","meta_description":"Everyone tells you golf is an individual game.
