Divots and Skins Ep 7 - Golf Broke Jake At West Point, Then The Travelers Made It Better

In Episode 7 of Divots & Skins, Jake and Brett are back after a brutally hot league night at Brookhaven and a packed golf weekend that included a US AM Tour stop at West Point Golf Course and a trip to the Travelers Championship. This episode gets honest fast. Jake opens up about feeling like his golf game is completely broken, from shaky hands on the first tee to struggling through tournament rounds, losing confidence and wondering whether he needs to step away for a bit. Brett talks him through it with some perspective from both amateur golf and the PGA Tour, reminding us that even the best players in the world go through serious funks. The guys also recap Brett’s big day at West Point, including a rough start, a strong finish and why short game can save an entire round. Then they break down their experience at the Travelers Championship, from seeing Ludvig Åberg, Justin Thomas, Cameron Young and Scottie Scheffler in person to finally watching a pro hit the kind of shank every amateur can relate to. Plus, the Rule of the Day covers free relief from manmade obstructions, including cart paths, rakes, temporary structures and what “nearest point of full relief” actually means.
