Summary
Today's episode begins with a list: the driver speeds of some of the younger, up-and-coming Tour pros. Mark, Lou, and Greg (at least until his internet failed and/or he bailed on the call because he was intimidated by the speed of Mark and Lou) jump from there to a discussion of the future of speed in the professional game. They talk about why these younger pros are so much faster than those who came before them. A key for the rest of us: learning to have the courage to take your speed to the course.
