]]> Scott flies solo this week, talking about why Nelly Korda and Scottie Scheffler continue their domination of the game.


Then, Clay Myers joins The Edge. He is currently the head golf professional at The Park at West Palm. Clay made a name in golf as a competitor on The Big Break. So when Barack Obama visited The Park last week, he said hello to "Big Break Clay".


We will hear more from Clay about:

  • Why he started playing as a kid in Memphis
  • His favorite part of playing golf
  • Why professional touring golf didn't fit with why he loves the game
  • What Barack Obama watched during the pandemic


Plus, can Clay beat the standard that Andy set in the Bars Exam?

Scott & Andy analyze the tactics of the contenders down the stretch on Masters Sunday, and the importance of making smart decisions on the challenging Augusta National course. The conversation also touches on the role of luck in golf and the mental aspect of the game.


Charlie Rymer (Westwood One) then joins to discuss Scottie Scheffler's dominant win at the Masters and the qualities of a killer golfer. They also talk about the importance of matching your swing with your personality. The conversation then shifts to the use of technology in golf, with Charlie expressing his skepticism about launch monitors and the importance of learning to watch the ball fly. Charlie also emphasizes the need to decouple the notion that great golf has to be extremely difficult and highlights the various ways people can enjoy and contribute to the game of golf.


The hosts conclude this week's Bars Exam...an ode to the joy of fancy butter.


Sound Bites

"Golf's a compromise between what your ego wants you to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves allow you to do."

"As he was walking up to eight green, he said, this is my tournament. Boys, y'all just stand aside."

"You gotta be authentic to your personality and everything's gotta line up or your weaknesses will really come through."

"The best ball flight monitor is the ball."
