Divots and Skins Ep 5 - One Round Changed Everything… But Golf Had One More Lesson

A beautiful course, brutal wind, surprise rain and a tournament round that became far more interesting than expected. In Episode 5 of Divots & Skins, Jake and Brett recap their US AM Tour stop at Wahconah Country Club in Dalton, Massachusetts, including the pressure of live scoring, battling through difficult conditions, managing the course and trying not to let one bad hole destroy an entire round. They also discuss Nelly Korda’s pursuit of the career Grand Slam, Charlie Woods stepping up as a caddie, the massive $4 million Internet Invitational and whether amateur golfers can accept prize money without risking their status. Plus, the Rule of the Day covers what you can do when your ball is buried against the lip of a bunker, and we answer a viewer’s question about changing shots after a scramble team has already played. This episode includes: A tournament round filled with pressure and momentum swings Why you should never assume a four-shot lead is safe Course management versus perfect ball striking Bunker relief options most amateurs do not know Scramble rules that could save your team an argument The $4 million YouTube golf tournament Why flighted amateur tours give every golfer a real chance How Brookhaven is teaching Jake and Brett some painful lessons Watch until the end to hear how the tournament unfolded.
