Show Notes
Mike Whan joins us once again on the podcast this week. We spoke to Mike a couple of weeks ago and he shared his experience of his new role as CEO of the USGA. He explains exactly what it is that the USGA do for golf. We chat through the hot topic which is the distance debate and where the future of the game is headed. His views are fascinating and his wish for any changes to minimise the effect on your average golfer. Adaptive golf, opportunities for all, huge purse for the US Women's Open and much more in this great pod with Mike Whan.
