Get a Grip with Shane Bacon

Shane Bacon and Andrew Putnam return to the feed to discuss Andrew's first trip to St. Andrews after his T-25 finish at the Dunhill Links last week. The two discuss what's so special about the town of St. Andrews, the challenges of links golf at this time of year, and how players navigate the layout of the Dunhill Links across three different courses. Andrew shares how he prepared for such a unique tournament, and the two highlight the pro-am aspect of the Dunhill as well. After wrapping up on Scotland golf, Shane and Andrew discuss the Korn Ferry Tour following the season-ending championship. Andrew reminisces about being part of the 2014 class of KFT grads following the PGA Tour's 10-year look back at that group. They discuss the differences between the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour, and how players often find more camaraderie on the KFT before graduating to the big tour. To wrap things up, Andrew shares some insight into the new Evergreen Golf Club facility in Tacoma, Washington.
