Summary
On this week's Get a Grip, Shane opens with his thoughts on the exceptional Rose Zhang and her victory on Sunday. Then, one of the most exciting athletes of the last 25 years, Reggie Bush, jumps on the pod to talk about his journey to golf, his obsession with getting better, and what he wants to do to help more kids that have similar upbringings to his get into the game.
The two also talk about what makes an athlete electrifying, when Reggie realized he was different than the rest of those playing sports and who his favorite golfer is to watch play.
A huge thanks to Reggie for jumping on this week and chatting.
