In Part 2 of Episode 21, I'm joined by a truly fascinating first-time guest—certified hypnotherapist Paul Salter. Paul helps us explore the power of the mind and how hypnotherapy can free us from the fear of judgment on the golf course—especially when standing on the first tee with eyes all around. Whether it’s your buddies, a crowd at the club championship, or groups waiting to tee off behind you, we’ve all felt that pressure. Paul breaks down where that fear comes from and how he works with golfers to eliminate it for good.

Then, one of my favorite people on the planet, PGA Tour legend Hal Sutton returns to the show to share updates on his latest course design, the Darmor Club outside Houston, and why—for the first time ever—he’s endorsing a putter. It’s not because of a paycheck. Hal explains what impressed him about Makefield Putters, their precision fitting process, and how they get the ball rolling faster and truer than nearly anything else out there. If it’s good enough to go in Hal’s bag, you’ll want to hear why.

This week on Season 12, Episode 21 Part 1 of Next on the Tee, I’ve got a fantastic lineup of four fun and insightful guests that I’m excited to share with you. They’re sure to spark your interest, maybe raise an eyebrow or two, and quite possibly have you thinking, “I need to connect with that guy.” Leading things off, as always, is our Resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri. We caught up with TP just as he was wrapping up a member trip to Cabot Citrus Farms in Brooksville, Florida—so yes, we might be delaying his dinner and bedtime just a bit, so he's a little extra cranky. Tom’s also gearing up for his annual golf marathon to support a great cause. Last year, he played an incredible 153 holes before running out of daylight. Head over to his Instagram page to learn more and consider pledging whatever makes sense for you. In our chat, we cover Justin Thomas’s big win at Hilton Head, take an early look ahead to the Ryder Cup, and debate whether today’s advanced equipment is helping make the game more accessible, less frustrating, a major reason why our game at all levels is packed with more good players than in the persimmon wood and wound ball era.

After TP, I’m joined by Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and Golf Digest Top 50 in Florida, Mike Malizia from Admirals Cove in Jupiter. Mike shares some great drills to help improve your short game, explains why he doesn’t teach hitting up on the ball with the driver, and encourages us to trust our feel rather than overthinking every swing.

It’s a loaded show, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together. Come back for Part 2 featuring certified Hypnotherapist Paul Salter and PGA Tour Legend Hal Sutton.

In Part 2 of our special Masters review edition of the show, I’m honored to be joined by the Godfather of Golf Talk Radio, John Patrick.

John has covered The Masters for the past 41 years. He was there for Jack Nicklaus’ historic sixth Masters victory in 1986 — and he might even have the ball Jack used to finish it off (you’ll hear that incredible story). As Bernhard Langer makes his final appearance as a player at Augusta, John shares memories of both of Langer’s victories and covering Langer's remarkable 40-year journey in the tournament.

We dive deep into Rory McIlroy’s historic win this year, reliving the highs, the lows, and his inspiring comeback. John also shares his thoughts on where Rory now stands in the game's history after completing the career Grand Slam.

Plus, we discuss some exciting upcoming innovations at Augusta National, including a new players-only facility, underground parking, and which Chairman has made the biggest impact on the game.

John Patrick is truly one of the finest people and broadcasters in the history of golf. Tune in to hear our conversation—you’ll quickly understand why he’s such a beloved figure in the game.
