This week I had the honour of sitting down with a former PGA pro, Randy Erskine who competed and played along side some of the greats like Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino & Jack Nicklaus. From playing in the Houston Open with Arnold Palmer, and hearing the crowds roar, to learning to be your best friend on the golf course and above all shooting your age, 64 at 64. Randy Erskine shares the highs and lows of a professional golf career and what it was like to not only play for the University of Michigan but be inducted into their hall of fall. With more detail to come, here we go with episode #144 of the athletes podcast.
