Summary

Golf season is in full swing with the Masters just around the corner. Today, you'll hear the story of a young Missouri golfer from the KC area that already has her ticket punched to Augusta National as one of only a select few to qualify for the Drive, Chip and Putt competition. Bryan Minnis is the founder of Maxim Golf and he and his team at Tiffany Greens are doing something to help out 12 year old Desirae Larson and her entire family to have the greatest golf week ever. Then, we play a piece of an incredible interview US Open winner Gary Woodland did on Golf Channel a few days ago. He told the entire golf world that he has beaten brain surgery but he now has a hidden mountain to climb.... PTSD. This is very emotional.
