In this special bonus edition of Next on the Tee, I get to share time with two incredible guests who each taught me something game-changing—especially for those of us playing golf after 50.

First up is fellow Yinzer and fan-favorite Rocco Mediate. Rocco was recently featured in the inspiring new documentary Steel Links, hosted by former Pirates star Neil Walker and featuring Pittsburgh icons like Charlie Batch and Carole Semple-Thompson. We talk about that project, but we also go deep into Rocco’s memories of playing in the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont alongside Mr. Palmer during his final appearance in the championship. Despite needing back surgery, Rocco wasn't going to miss that moment. He shares what it was like inside the ropes with The King and what he said to him on the 18th green that sent Mr. Palmer's emotions over the edge. Rocco also shares his emotions following his recent victory at the Furyk & Friends event, plus he shares a tip he posted on Instagram that gave me 10 more yards and straighter shots—a true key to better golf after 50.

Then I’m joined by PGA Tour veteran and elite instructor Larry Rinker. Larry opened my eyes to how much I still have to learn about the golf swing. He walks us through the Wright Balance system and its three swing models, explains what I was getting wrong, and provides clear insight that will help your game. We also reflect on his T12 finish at the 1992 Open at Muirfield, his Masters experience, including playing the Par 3 contest with Gary Player and Gay Brewer, and the pressure of surviving Q-School. He even shares a great tip for holing more downhill putts. It’s a jam-packed, fun, and informative episode I know you’ll enjoy.
