Fore Play Teaching Academy

About this episode

We apparently teach golf now as a discussion about fundamentals, helping newcomers, and simply managing one’s way through golf shots engulfs the show. In news, Rory finishes runner-up again after Horschel wins with a playoff eagle; it’s officially Presidents Cup week; the “Breaking 85” series is about to debut; Oz The Mentalist impressed Trent & Riggs in Arizona; Frankie thrived in Austin.
