Host and Producer Holly G and The Golf Insiders Social Media Expert, EVVUS, Will Perry, are in the studio with a wrap up of the Tour Championship and a special preview of the 2016 Ryder Cup in Minnesota sponsored by L2 Putters. The putter with the highest MOI of any putter. L2 putters are engineered with one purpose - to lower scores.
In the third segment of the show, Holly and Will welcome long time sports writer Mike Kern from Philadelphia Daily News. Mike talks about Arnold Palmer. We knew his health was fading and then he didn't show up at Oakmont for the U.S. Open. The writing was on the wall. Mike said that "You would be hard pressed to find someone who didn't like Arnie. "There were so many contributions that Arnold Palmer made to the game of golf. He invented the grand slam, the Golf Channel and he helped increase the tournament purses. 100 years from now when people go through the history of golf his name will stand out.
Mike said that there used to be a Senior Tour event in Philadelphia in the twilight of Palmer's career, and more people showed up to watch Arnie play with one of the early tee times than would show up to watch the leaders.
Holly and Mike tun their attention to this week's Ryder Cup. Mike says that in the past the problem has been that the Americans don't play well on Friday and Saturday. The Euros seem like they seem to play better together.
