Joining Randy on this episode is Golf Channel's Damon Hack. You no doubt know Damon as a co-host of 'Morning Drive' but do you know how he got into professional golf? Damon discusses his path into both picking up the game and eventually covering the game as a journalist.

He shares the thoughts and emotions which went into that piece, as well as other valuable insights into the state of golf, and society. We can't thank Damon enough for his time and willingness to speak openly about his story. Enjoy!
