 1093: Life after Pro Golf with Steve Wheatcroft

Soly is joined by former tour pro Steve Wheatcroft to discuss his professional career and his recently released book “Cocktails and Range Balls: One's Too Many, Ten's Not Enough." The book is a blend of memorable stories from his career at all levels of professional golf and his struggles with alcohol. It also discusses the difficulty of life on the road amidst the pressure of competing at the highest level. We’re incredibly thankful to Steve for his willingness to share his story and his foundation’s efforts to assist others who struggle with excessive drinking.
