During Mike's course - Mike & Billy - discuss some of the oddest golf records around.The first hour interview is Tom Bertrand, Author of the The Secrets of Hogans Golf Swing. Review - The Secrets of Hogan's Swing- Tom Bertrand "Like finding the Rosetta Stone of golf... Tom Bertrand and Printer Bowler's The Secret of Hogan's Swing gives us a pipeline to the Master's wisdom that we thought had been lost forever. Secret is an instruction book like no other. It's the Hogan book Hogan himself never wrote, packed with the insights the great champion passed on to John Schlee (in a fascinating mentor-disciple relationship) and that Schlee in turn bequeathed to Tom Bertrand. We'll probably never have anything like this again. Hogan's gone, Schlee's gone, but thank goodness we've got Tom Bertrand to preserve the nuggets of pure golfing gold that the Master dug up "out of the dirt" of ten thousand practice tees and a thousand tournaments. The Secret of Hogan's Swing demonstrates that the vein of wisdom left by the

Mike & Billy share listener emails on golfing across the USA and Europe.  Mike shares the world record for the fastest round of golf in a "dense fog".John Haime, Author of "You Are A Contender!"Are you a Contender or a Pretender? In business, leadership, sports and life, it takes more than knowledge and good technique to achieve great performances with consistency. The challenges you need to win aren't always terrific plays, perfect golf shots, record sales or great new ideas. Instead, in any arena in life, it is command of the emotional challenges that separates winners from wannabes, contenders from pretenders.   Contenders who achieve consistently outstanding results all demonstrate key characteristics and practice specific winning techniques that you can learn. The inconsistent performance of pretenders in leadership, sports and life can be traced to common missteps that you can avoid.   If you are a leader who wants to lead more effectively, a worker who wants to achieve more, an athlete who wants to

Mike & Billy discuss the use of cell phones on the golf course.  Dave Schimandle, Owner and Operator of Slickstix joins Mike & Billy - visit his website at www.slickstix.com to discuss "shaft spines", how important is the golf shaft and the proper clubs for each individual player.  Dave Schimandle began repairing golf clubs and building custom clubs in 1975 shortly before turning professional in 1976.

This new technology has enabled club builders to become SOPHISTICATED CLUB FITTERS.

Gary Dennis McCord (born May 23, 1948) is an American professional golfer, commentator, author, and actor. McCord was born in San Gabriel, California and raised in southern California. He was a two-time Division II All-American at UC Riverside. He won the NCAA Division II individual championship in 1970 and turned professional in 1971. McCord's best two finishes on the PGA Tour were at the Greater Milwaukee Open, placing second in both 1975 and 1977. During his years on the PGA Tour, he had nearly two dozen top-10 finishes. At age 37 in 1986, McCord joined CBS Sports as a golf analyst, a capacity in which he still serves. He is noted for his outspokenness, a trait that has seen him barred from the CBS commentary team for The Masters. During the network's coverage of the 1995 Masters, he remarked that the 17th green was so fast that it seemed to be "bikini-waxed", and that "body bags" were located behind that green for players who missed their approach shots. Augusta National Golf Club, which organizes The Mas

During Mike's Course - Mike and Billy discuss Billy's trip to Virginia CC and Billy's new workout regiment while on the golf course.  Since focusing her skills as a landscape painter to recreate some of the world's most beautiful golf holes, Linda Hartough has become recognized as one of golf's leading artists. So extraordinary and realistic is her attention to detail that her oil paintings seem to come alive with a clarity that surpasses the camera. Her work has gained international fame. She is the only artist ever commissioned by the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews to do the annual, official paintings and prints for the U.S. Open and British Open Championships. She has painted prestigious golf courses from the U.S. to Scotland to Hong Kong. Her paintings are so admired that they have earned a place on two ABC Television Golf Specials on famous golf holes hosted by Jack Nicklaus. Her paintings are in the collections of such famous clubs as Augusta National,

Mike & Billy discuss during Mike's Course their take on Tiger Wood's statement/apology to the media.  Mike Fletcher, President of Sunice, a golf apparel firm known for its amazing technical outerwear—rain pants with a built-in chamois to clean clubs; a "pro-trim" fabric that eliminates belly bulge during the swing—is gearing up to make a splash in the American market.   Until recently, Sunice had been part of the TaylorMade-adidas golf juggernaught, having been acquired in the deal that brought Ashworth Golf to TaylorMade in October 2008. That agreement called for Ashworth to market the Canadian-based Sunice's products in the U.S.   But perhaps the Sunice designs got lost in the shuffle. This month the company announced it had pulled out of the deal and began hiring its own team of U.S.-based executives. Howie Ellis, the widely respected former director of apparel sales at Callaway Golf, will be named executive vice president of Sunice Golf USA. He will be based in Boston.   "We essentially exercised an o

MIKE BENDER Master Instructor, Mike Bender Golf Academy 2009 National PGA Teacher of the Year Growing up in Waterloo, Iowa, Mike Bender was an inveterate tinkerer. He would dismantle, then reassemble, radios, televisions, bicycles and anything else that could be taken apart and put back together. It was this razor sharp mechanical aptitude, an eye for detail and a passion for golf that have combined to allow this Midwestern native to become one of the top golf instructors in the world. Today, Bender can efficiently assemble a better golf swing for any golfer from rank beginners to the game's top touring professionals. This extraordinary knowledge combined with his ability to explain the necessary fundamentals in a clear and concise manner is why he is the 2009 PGA of America National Teacher of the Year, ranked among the Top 10 Greatest Teachers in America by Golf Digest Magazine and, for more than a decade, has been included in GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teacher list.
