Next On The Tee With Chris Mascaro, Golf Podcast

We hear about the penalty levied on him and his team in 1980 that cost them the National Championship and how they used that to fuel them to win it the next year. Tom shares some advice for kids and their parents looking to play college golf and he talks about the great player that Andy Bean was. We lost Andy a couple of days ago.

We get into one of his professional wins not on the PGA Tour, a 10-stroke victory at the 1979 Japan vs. USA Gol
