S12, Ep 39 Part 1: Ryder Cup Reality Check: Keegan’s Picks, Bethpage Truths & Overcoming Doubt with Tom Patri & Dr. Bob Winters
Description
On Part 1 of this episode of Next on the Tee, we’re turning up the heat as we look ahead to one of the greatest events in all of sports—the Ryder Cup. With the Captains’ picks announced, the big question is: Did Keegan Bradley get it right? Or did he fall into the “old boys club” trap he once criticized? I dig deep into the picks, including whether Keegan should’ve made himself the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963, and how Bethpage Black might—or might not—be set up to favor the U.S. Team. Our Resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri, shares why he thinks course setup won’t matter, plus we break down the unique challenges of Patrick Cantlay’s hat size and the no-win nature of Ryder Cup captaincy.
From there, we pivot to the FedEx Cup and the so-called “season-long” chase before welcoming back Dr. Bob Winters. This month, Doc delivers the mental keys to overcoming doubt—whether you’re chasing your club championship, trying to break a scoring milestone, or facing that one hole you can’t seem to conquer. His mantra: Process over Prizes.
Be sure to come back for Part 2, I welcome Matt Cahill, the man handpicked by Bob Ford to succeed him as Head PGA Professional at Seminole Golf Club. Matt talks about the opportunity to work for both Ford and Jimmy Dunne, his impressive playing career from junior championships to US Amateur Championship, to the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, and his experiences helping Shinnecock Hills host the 2018 U.S. Open.
