On this edition of Next on the Tee my guests are: World Golf Foundation CEO Steve Mona and The Voice of Golf Peter Kessler.
Steve Mona is the CEO of the World Golf Foundation which runs the World Golf Hall of Fame, The First Tee and Golf 20/20. He is annually ranked as one of the most powerful people in golf by Golf Magazine and Golf Inc. magazine. He gave us an update on the record breaking year the PGA Tour had regarding charitable contributions; it was more than the 4 major sports combined. He also shared the 3 major issues going on within the game that the PGA Tour leaders are looking to address. We also talked about the PGA Merchandise Show and what they will try to accomplish in April during National Golf Day when he and others meet with Congress.
Peter Kessler has been The Voice of Golf since he hosted Golf Talk Live on The Golf Channel back when it launched in January of 1995. He talked about some of the greatest shot in PGA Tour history, who the biggest cheater of all-time was, how former President Clinton taped his show every Monday night and the White House urgently requested a copy of the show when their VCR broke. We also talked about the inaccuracies of most golf movies and the book Peter has started to write.
