Golf’s hottest takes, exclusive interviews, and never-before-heard historical moments handpicked for you thrice a week in a one-of-a-kind newsletter! - by EssentiallySports

👋 Hey Golf Fans,

Imagine this: you’re on the 18th hole of a skins match. It’s a carry-over from the 15th and a par-save is all you need to grab it all. You can smell victory from the greenside bunker. One nifty wedge and the day is yours. But then, you dump the ball way short of the pin. Again! Sounds familiar? 

It happened to one of our colleagues just a few days back. That kick-started a roundtable (read: WhatsApp group chat). And, as chatter among golf nerds goes, it started with the local muni and ended with PGA West. What came out was some cool tips, fundamental lessons, and a greater appreciation for Tiger Woods. All of which, we are going to share with you today.
