This week on Next on the Tee, three champions join me to share stories that go far beyond sports. Legendary sports agent Leigh Steinberg, 1984 NCAA Champion John Inman, and Olympic Gold Medalist Scott Hamilton open up about overcoming adversity, leadership, perseverance, and the lessons they've learned at the highest levels of competition.

Leigh Steinberg takes us inside his remarkable journey from representing some of the biggest names in sports to battling alcoholism, losing everything, and fighting his way back. We discuss his inspiring new book, The Comeback: A Playbook for Turning Life's Setbacks Into Victories, the heartfelt foreword written by Troy Aikman, the importance of giving back, the changing landscape of college athletics, NIL, sports gambling, and what true success really means.

John Inman returns to share his thoughtful perspective on today's college sports environment, whether NIL has shifted the balance too far toward athletes, the growing influence of gambling across sports, and why fan behavior is becoming a concern in professional golf. He also reflects on his unforgettable years at the University of North Carolina during one of the greatest championship eras in college athletics.

Then, Olympic legend Scott Hamilton joins me for one of the most inspiring conversations we've ever had. Scott looks back on carrying the American flag during the 1980 Winter Olympics, shares behind-the-scenes stories from Lake Placid and his friendship with legendary skier Ingemar Stenmark, discusses covering his 10th Winter Olympics for NBC, and explains why one simple message has become his philosophy for living a joyful life: our possessions are just "garbage"—it's our relationships, experiences, and gratitude that truly matter.

Whether you're passionate about golf, sports, leadership, personal growth, or simply need a reminder that setbacks don't define your future, this episode delivers unforgettable stories, practical wisdom, and a healthy dose of Vitamin G—gratitude.

This week on Next on the Tee, I have another outstanding lineup featuring a trio of Hall of Fame instructors, with game-changing insights from across the golf world.

Leading off is Sunshine State Conference Hall of Famer and Next on the Tee Resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri. Tom takes us inside Shinnecock Hills. We discuss the challenges of playing Shinnecock when the winds are blowing, the history of the U.S. Open at the course, memorable victories by Raymond Floyd, Corey Pavin, Retief Goosen, and Brooks Koepka, and how only 3 players and 2 winners have ever finished under par there.

Next, Central New York PGA Section Hall of Famer and four-time PGA Teacher of the Year Jack Conger joins the show. Jack shares stories from his remarkable teaching career, offers a fresh perspective on the AimPoint putting system, and explains why many golfers misunderstand how it should be used. He also discusses his work with Fast First Golf and how swinging faster also keeps the ball straighter.

In the final segment, I'm joined by Long Beach PGA Hall of Famer and eight-time Patriot Award winner Joe Grohman. Joe shares the incredible work being done through his Adaptive Golf Program and Foundation, helping military veterans and individuals with physical challenges learn, return to, and enjoy the game of golf. We also revisit Joe's longtime relationship with Earl and Tiger Woods, and also his thoughts on the U.S. Open as well.

If you love golf instruction, U.S. Open history, PGA professionals, putting improvement, adaptive golf, military veteran programs, and stories from the game's most respected teachers, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

This week on Next on the Tee, I'm taking you beyond the fairways and into the world of music, entertainment, friendship, and unforgettable stories with two incredible guests.

Leading things off is legendary drummer Liberty DeVitto, who spent three decades behind the kit for Billy Joel and helped create the soundtrack for a generation. Liberty shares stories from his remarkable career, from banging on pots and pans in his mother's kitchen as a kid to performing on some of the biggest stages in the world. We hear what it was like playing at Madison Square Garden on New Year's Eve 1999 during the Y2K frenzy, getting a life-changing call from legendary producer Phil Ramone to play alongside Paul McCartney, performing at Yankee Stadium, and the inspiration behind his heartwarming children's book, Love, Santa Claus.

Then our good friend Matthew Laurance joins the show. Matthew and Liberty have developed a close friendship despite never having met face-to-face, and you'll hear the entertaining story behind that unique relationship. Matthew also shares more behind-the-scenes stories from Eddie and the Cruisers, his thoughts on the recent Rory McIlroy heckling controversy, memories of Shinnecock Hills ahead of the U.S. Open, and a touching story involving Brian Austin Green and a devoted Beverly Hills 90210 fan.

It's a fun, heartfelt, and entertaining episode filled with music history, Hollywood stories, golf conversations, friendship, and a huge dose of Vitamin G. Join us for another memorable edition of Next on the Tee, where golf legends live and your game gets better.
