Charlie Rymer (Westwood One) then joins to discuss Scottie Scheffler's dominant win at the Masters and the qualities of a killer golfer. They also talk about the importance of matching your swing with your personality. The conversation then shifts to the use of technology in golf, with Charlie expressing his skepticism about launch monitors and the importance of learning to watch the ball fly. Charlie also emphasizes the need to decouple the notion that great golf has to be extremely difficult and highlights the various ways people can enjoy and contribute to the game of golf.
