ON THE IMPORTANCE OF A CLUBFITTING
“I tell people all the time: If you love this game, you’ve earned good gear. Get some clubs in your hands that are truly great with the help of a fitter, like True Spec Golf, of course. It doesn’t matter who makes them. If you can find the right set of clubs, golf is so much more enjoyable.”
THE TOUR PRO’S SWING HE’D WANT TO EMULATE
“I’d have to go with Rory McIlroy. For a dude who’s not that big, he can flat smash it. He’s fun to watch because when he pulls driver out, it’s high launch, low spin, baby draw — and it’s flying 300 yards. If I had to morph into a golf swing, it’d be Rory all day.”
