    Episode 53 | Greg Chalmers - PGA Tour Stalwart

    Greg Chalmers, or Snake as he his known around the world turned pro way back in 1995! He has been plying his trade professional for 27 years most of which has been spent on the PGA Tour playing with the best In the world.

    We got straight into things getting his perspective of LIV Golf in 'The World of Golf' and then dove deep into his career discussing his massive wins in his native Australia, beating the likes of Tiger Woods and Adam Scott etc, to getting his first PGA Tour win in 2016, only three or four hundred-ish starts after he began.

    He's a great story teller and if you stick around until the back end things get a bit weird. Snakey's connection dropped out a few times, but we managed to get some good stuff about his most embarrassing moment on course and hitting two people on one hole at The Masters.

    How good!
