Carl (The Carl behind Carl's Place) chatted about the business, the Covid boom for his business, and what makes a good simulator room. A huge thanks to Carl for the time!  _____ Check out Carl's Place (www.carlofet.com) and use promo code "GetAGrip" at checkout for 10 ..read more

It's an amazing conversation between two of the nicest guys in golf and a fun offseason reminder that even the best in the world can hit awful, awful golf shots at times (and pro-level caddies can occasionally add when they're supposed to subtract).  An enormous thanks to Joel and Geno for taking a bi ..read more
