Holly G s in the studio with Rich B and special guest Phillip Jaffe, PGA Member/Teaching Professional and Designer of Palmbird Putter Grips. The duo talks about Sergio Garcia's Monday finish with his new caddy.

Bob Harig, ESPN.com, calls in and talks about Sergio Garcia's long overdue win at the Wyndham Championship. Bob had actually picked Sergio to win. The trio also talk about the upcoming Ryder Cup selections for Davis Love III. Furyk, Stricker, and maybe Hunter Mahan and Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler or Brandt Snedeker. Bob also talks about the FedEx Cup Playoffs and how it keeps the top players around after the PGA Championship whereas before the FedEx Cup, players were very sporadic where they played or if they even played the rest of the year.

Bob and Holly also talk about how they might improve the FedEx Cup playoffs so that it is a lot easy to understand.  Bob says its hard for the players to know where they stand let alone the fans know who is winning.

Holly and Rich B talk about the upcoming World Amateur Handicap Golf Championship in Myrtle Beach, S.C. with Chris King. More than 3,000 golfers from all 50 states and more than 20 foreign countries vie to become world champion. The largest and most fun-filled amateur golf tournament on the planet was first played back in 1984 with 684 participants. The tournament is played on approximately 60 different Myrtle Beach area courses, including several Top 100 public layouts, and each flight plays a different course each day. www.worldamgolf.com

Phillip Jaffe, PGA Member/Teaching Professional and Designer of Palmbird Putter Grips keeps the club head online and helps you make a lot of short putts. It is designed after the bird of paradise flower. The PalmBird’s Design, covers a larger surface area in your palms, which allows the putting stroke to be initiated from the shoulders instead of the hands and wrists and is naturally back weighted.

Jeff Shain, Orlando Sentinel, calls in to talk to Rich B and Holly G about Condoleezza Rice and Darla Moore being accepted as members at Augusta National.  Jeff talks with the team about the two-year vetting process to get accepted as a member.  Jeff also gives his thoughts about The Barclays and the rest of the Playoffs for the FedEx Cup.

Holly will be at the World Am in Myrtle Beach doing the Golf Insiders Show.
