Come play a hole with Sepp Straka.

The intersection of golf and culture.

Behind every drained putt or hosel rocket into the stands is a human being with complex emotions—among them, an insatiable appetite for golf. That’s what we’re after. Golf’s humanity is what makes it so special to us. There have never been more reasons to love this game, and we’re endeavoring to explore them all.

Did you always believe you’d reach that level? No, not really. You were just giving pro golf a shot. Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I I just kept trying to get better. Really? Been separ. [Music] Thank you. So, you got Dewey back? Yeah. Dwey was working for Kizner forever and then you guys obviously know each other from the Georgia world. What’s that conversation like? Kiz was uh taking the summer and the rest of the fall to work on his game, just take a take a breather. So, I asked kids if I could get Dewey on the bag for the John Deere in the open. Kids was obviously saying, “Yeah, absolutely. I’d love for him to get out there as much as he can and then finished first at John Deere, second at the open, and can’t let him go after that.” Kiss takes a dude and was like, “You’d be an idiot not to consider us for a long-term option.” So, I think their friendship comes first there. What do you remember the most about your first time playing in the Rider Cup? The biggest one that sticks out is just that first T-shot and how nervous I was. I’m just shaking in my boots and Victor’s playing ahead of me. chips in from the fringe on the first hole and the whole place just goes crazy and just sent my heart rate through the roof again from that point. An interesting year. I mean, you’ve won twice. You won a signature event, but I know you didn’t play as well as you would have hoped in the majors. Probably the most consistent year by a mile that I’ve ever had and then obviously you want to play well in the majors and I just didn’t. A little bit of preparation, but a little bit of just thinking back to Quail. I was playing some great golf going into there, but I hate that golf course. Just doesn’t fit your eye. I don’t hit it 320, so that hurts. I don’t know. I felt like my game was pretty good. Just missed a few too many fairways. We’ve seen a lot of guys recently, they come out on tour, they start winning right away. Your path a little bit different. Did you always believe you’d reach that level? No, not really. You were just giving pro golf a shot? Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I I just kept trying to get better, really. I knew if I kept trying to improve, there’s a good chance I could play professional golf, but I never really thought about how good I could be. What changed was it was it technical? Was it mental? I think it was improvement over a long time. So, I didn’t peak very early. I was not not a great junior golfer. All the Georgia boys said your brother was better than you. He was. Yeah. Yeah, he definitely was better in junior golf and then just kept improving throughout college. Had a pretty decent senior year. Out to the corn ferry my first year which was huge. Uh got some exposure there and had two years out there. And um yeah, I just I feel like always just try to kind of take a bigger picture and try to improve my golf game, right? You’re not thinking about, okay, I got to make the RER cup team continue to improve this. You’re focusing on the process. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, just try to improve my golf game and then the results generally come with that.
