Hazel's Picks Vol. 2 // Straight Down the Middle’ish

Straight Down the Middle'ish

The dog days of summer are upon us, and it's compilation season at SDTM. We've been traveling a good bit this July, and it feels like we're just ships passing in the night, but we'll be back in the studio with more guests and hot takes.
It’s been a wild couple of months in the world of professional golf, so we're taking a peak back at some of our favorite segments and predictions of the future. Did anyone see LIV and the PGA TOUR forming a partnership?!?
There’s still a lot to unpack here, so hear it straight from the pros, our friends in the media, and business insiders on this edition of Straight Down The Middle-ish!
