09/19/2012 The Golf Insiders - a podcast by The Golf Insiders

Holly G and Rich B are in the studio talking all things golf. They kick off the show talking about the Tour Championship with Bob Harig, ESPN.com. A lot of different possibilities, except for the top 5 in the standings. If McIlroy, Tiger, Watney, Mickelson or Snedeker wins, then they would win the FedEx Cup.

Holly G and Bob talk about how all of the members of the Ryder Cup team are at the Tour Championship.  Bob makes the point that players who are competing in the Ryder Cup tee off on Friday with the same pressure as you would have if you were in a final Sunday. If you are in a Sunday final, you played well enough on the first three days to get into the final. For the Ryder Cup, you start off with that pressure.

The three talk about the Tiger vs. Rory rivalry and if Tiger feels any intimidation. Bob likes Phil to win the FedEx Cup. He feels that Phil is playing really well right now and has played well in Atlanta.

Holly and Rich are joined by Marty Perlmutter, President of the Leaderboard of Miami, to talk about an upcoming charity golf tournament to benefit the Greater Orlando Children's Miracle Network. The 10th Annual McLane Foodservice Golf Tournament will be Sept 29 at Falcon's Fire. Register at www.mclanecharitygolftournament.net or show up at 7:30 a.m. for an 8:30 tee off. $150 per person. The golf tournament annually raises money for the Children's Miracle Network and the Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando. The scramble golf tournament will include a skills challenge for all players, a live auction, helicopter ball drop and a couple of unique on-course games.

Jeff Shain, Orlando Sentinel, calls in from East Lake to talk to the Golf Insiders about the course in Atlanta and the transformation of the area. Jeff also talks about the potential possibilities for any of the 30 participants.

Jeff also talks to Holly about the Women's Open Championship and how well Paula Creamer and Jiyai Shin have played the past couple weeks. Shin won and Creamer finished 3rd. The two had played the week before in a 9 hole playoff that Shin won on Monday.
