Scottie Scheffler's Greatness & Golfers We Can't Stand with ESPN Radio's Bill Myers

·1 hr 12 min·3 clips

Down three with four to play, we went 21 holes and I came out on top to make the semifinals.

Nick Heidelberger and Joe Simons bring Bill Myers in for a golf argument. He joins live from the Palouse ESPN studios, and the mic spends the opening acting up just enough to become part of the bit. Once that settles, the conversation moves to Sergio Garcia’s Augusta win and the more enjoyable problem of which golfers people cannot stand, and why the sport keeps making room for that kind of argument. Sergio is the obvious target. The hosts remember the player he was at Augusta, then spend the rest of the segment on the version of him who complains, throws clubs, and turns every bad break into a scene. That leads into a bigger point about composure. They keep circling back to the idea that professionals should at least handle the basics and not turn a bunker or green into a tantrum. The teaching angle matters too. If you are showing young people how to play, the example on the course matters almost as much as the swing. The episode stays loose and conversational, with the hosts turning small golf behavior into something closer to philosophy. The point is simple: control is the bare minimum. Golf will let you be emotional. It will also let everyone see whether you can keep your clubs in your hands.

As heard by us

A sharp golf argument about Augusta memories, emotion, and Sergio Garcia's knack for stirring debate.

At The Turn uses a guest spot with Bill Myers to turn Augusta memories and golf etiquette into a lively argument. A mic hiccup earns a quick laugh, then the discussion settles into the real issue: how much emotion the game can take before it crosses into something hard to watch.
