On this episode of Next on the Tee, two compelling guests join the show to share incredible golf stories, insights into the future of the game, and the technology shaping modern performance.

Leading things off is golf industry veteran Rich Katz, a man who has spent more than three decades representing PGA Tour players and helping shape the business side of professional golf. Rich is the Founder of The Buffalo Agency, a division of Billy Casper Golf, and during our conversation he shares memorable stories about his close relationship with golf legend Billy Casper, along with insights from his decades inside the professional game. Rich also talks about the incredible surge in golf participation since the pandemic, exciting companies he encountered at the PGA Merchandise Show, and how AI and new technology are influencing golf instruction, golf equipment, and the future of the game.

Then we turn to one of the rising talents in our game, Jenn Whaley, the Senior Product Manager of Golf Balls at Callaway Golf. Jenn gives us a fascinating inside look at the technology behind the new Callaway Chrome Tour golf ball, that's generating faster ball speeds, what cross-seam and in-seam means for aerodynamics, and how the team at the Ely Callaway Performance Center continues to push performance forward for players of all skill levels. Jenn also discusses the growing number of women entering the game, creative golf ball designs, and how equipment innovation can help golfers play better and enjoy the game more.

Between Rich’s decades of golf industry experience and golf stories from the PGA Tour, and Jenn’s insights into golf technology, golf equipment, and modern performance design, this episode delivers an entertaining and informative look at the people and ideas shaping the future of golf.

On this episode of Next on the Tee, I welcome two outstanding guests—legendary sports documentarian Ross Greenburg and two-time PGA Tour winner Donnie Hammond.

Ross, former President of HBO Sports and now runs his own Production company, which is producing some of the great documentaries and movies of our time. Ross has been the creative force behind more than 100 award-winning documentaries. He takes us inside the making of Miracle and Do You Believe in Miracles, sharing behind-the-scenes stories about Herb Brooks, Kurt Russell’s preparation, and how they recreated the emotion of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team’s gold medal run. We also revisit his acclaimed projects 61, When It Was a Game, and his Magic & Bird documentary.

Then Donnie Hammond shares unforgettable PGA Tour stories, including his dominant Q-School performance at TPC Sawgrass, competing in The Masters, a practice round with Arnold Palmer, and his thoughts on Anthony Kim’s comeback victory in Australia. Plus, a fun conversation about NASA’s Artemis II mission and the return to lunar orbit.

It’s a powerful mix of sports history, golf legends, professional golf stories, PGA Tour insight, and unforgettable storytelling.

In Part 2 of Season 13, Episode 5, we sharpen the most important club in your bag — your mind.

Dr. Bob Winters, “The Confidence Doctor,” returns with a powerful lesson on patience, resilience, and mental toughness in golf. This month’s Dr. Bob-ism says it all: “Patience is confidence waiting to happen.” We dive into how emotional control, persistence, and belief directly impact your scores — especially when the round starts going sideways. If you’re looking to lower scores through better golf psychology and course management, this segment is for you.

Then Dave Stockton Jr. makes his long-overdue return to the show. We talk about the legendary Stockton family’s influence on the game, Ryder Cup success, and why their winning mindset could be exactly what Team USA needs next time around. Dave also shares stories from recent rounds at some incredible West Coast golf courses, including time spent at Goathill Park, the oceanside public course co-owned by Bill Murray, plus hanging out with Dodgers and Padres legend Steve Garvey.

From mental game mastery to Ryder Cup strategy and hidden gem golf courses, this episode blends instruction, insight, and great stories from inside the game.

Thank you for pressing play and being part of the journey.
