S12, Ep34, Pt 1: Rocco Mediate Helps Me Find 10 Extra Yards Plus the Key to Better Golf After 50
Description
Fellow Yinzer and fan-favorite Rocco Mediate joins me in Part 1 of the episode. Rocco was recently featured in the inspiring documentary Steel Links, hosted by former Pirates star Neil Walker and featuring Pittsburgh icons like Charlie Batch and Carole Semple-Thompson. Rocco talks about what it was like being a part of that project. We also hear his memories of playing in the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont alongside Mr. Palmer during his final appearance in the championship. Despite needing back surgery, Rocco wasn’t going to miss that moment. He shares what it was like inside the ropes with The King and what he said to him on the 18th green that sent Mr. Palmer’s emotions over the edge. Rocco also discusses his emotions following getting back in the winner’s circle at the Furyk & Friends event, plus he shares a tip he posted on Instagram that helped me gain 10 more yards and straighter shots—a true key to better golf after 50.
Rocco is a delight, and I know you’re going to love this segment. Come back for Part 2, where one of the all-time Players and Instructors, Larry Rinker, proves how little I understand about the mechanics of the golf swing.
