Former PGA Tour pro David Canipe, The Confidence Doctor Dr. Bob Winters, and original Golf Channel creative force Michael J. Whelan join me for an episode filled with great stories, mental-game advice, and a trip through golf history.

We start with David Canipe, a three-year letterman at the University of Georgia who helped the Bulldogs win the 1972 SEC Championship before beginning a professional career that epitomized what it meant to be a grinder. David takes us back to the old Space Coast Tour, where he estimates he won 25 times, and shares what it took to make it through PGA Tour Q-School three different times.

We also hear about playing alongside Bill Kratzert at Georgia, the incredible field he faced at his first Q-School in 1976, and some of the biggest moments of his PGA Tour career—including becoming the early leader at the 1984 U.S. Open, finishing T4 at the 1988 Las Vegas Invitational, making the cut at Jack Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament, and taking the 54-hole lead into Sunday at the 1989 Southern Open.

Then, The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters, returns with a mental-game lesson every golfer needs to hear: stop playing holes that haven't happened yet.

We've all done it. Three holes to go and suddenly we're calculating what we need to shoot to break a milestone score, win the tournament, or finally beat our buddies. Dr. Bob explains why getting ahead of ourselves can derail a great round, how to stay present when the pressure builds, and even shares a simple rubber-band trick that can help bring your mind back to the shot in front of you.

Finally, Michael J. Whelan returns to take us inside his fascinating new book, The Fairways of Wisdom. Mike was the guy behind everything when The Golf Channel launched in the mid-1990s, creating its original programming and assembling the talent both in front of and behind the cameras. His remarkable television career also includes HBO, CBS, and NBC.

In The Fairways of Wisdom, Mike combines that lifetime of storytelling with his love of golf, playing 9 holes with 9 legends and exploring the lessons and wisdom they might share.

Three terrific guests. PGA Tour stories from a true grinder. A mental-game lesson you can use during your very next round. And a creative journey alongside some of golf's greatest legends.

It's all here on Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better.

Thank you for pressing play and taking the journey with us.
