Summary

778: For the last decade, we kicked off the new year with a sarcastic and silly look at the previous year’s PGA Tour season with comedian/TV personality/golf junkie Matty Blake presenting his annual “MattyB Awards”. But because the passed year was so….unique?…MattyB and host Fred Greene just discuss what was great, what was weird, what was funny, and what we hope finds a way to be a regular part of life in 2021 and beyond for professional and amateur golfers around the world. This week on Golf Smarter Mulligans episode 94, host Fred Greene sits down with Michael Murphy, author of “Golf In The Kingdom”, the most popular golf novel in history. This was originally Golf Smarter episode 195 where Michael talks about the impact of the book, the movie, its legacy, the Esalen Institute, and more. This is one of those books that is required reading for every golfer of any skill level, no matter their age. If you want to really understand how to get the most out of golf, read this book.For exclusive content and first access check out Corrected Mistakes on Substack: https://substack.com/@correctedmistake  Learn more about your ad choices.

but I think we might see the return of Jordan Speath. When I found out he had consulted with Butch Harmon, I was like, all right, that's good. He's willing to do anything that it takes. Because for a long time, Freddie, he was doing this thing where he's going, I'm not in a slump. This is golf. I'm finding it. He was kind of defensive about it.

0:21.8

I don't know if I told this story on your podcast before, but I took my son to go see him, and is when Jordan was kind of at his peak. And he makes a double bogey on this kind of gettable par five. And he's walking off the green, and he's pissed. So he sees a leaderboard and he's kind of cursing to himself.

And, you know, he's got a sister with special needs.

That's been well documented. Well, she's sitting on the back of a cart, and he's mad. He's in the middle of this tournament. He sees her. And I said to Max, I go, watch this. He gathered himself, turn the corner, big smile, hey, sits on the cart where their hugs her
