Director of Instruction at High Performance Golf Institute/ PGA Tour Veteran

Back by popular demand, Craig kicks off the show telling us about the book, OPEN by Andre Agassi and then about his junior golf days. His early mentors, what junior golf was then, and the clubs he used. What are the costs to play on the mini tour, and the PGA Tour as well as what caddies are paid?

Craig talks about what it was like being a rookie on the tour and how each new player is assigned a big brother. We discuss the difficulty and mindset once you have missed multiple cuts in a row on tour and how this tip can help you in your events. Does seeing a low round posted before you start your day change your strategy for the day? How to be comfortable going low as Craig has shot 62 multiple times in his career.

Learn about who Craig’s instructor was, how they met, and in-depth conversation about the way Craig teaches these days. Great stuff here! Does he still play these days and we end with learning about what you can expect to see next June at the 2021 US Open and Torrey Pines where Craig played an US Open event at.
