Andrew sits down with Coach John Fields, the hall-of-fame head coach of the University of Texas Men's Golf team. With 38 years of coaching experience, Fields has developed a reputation for producing PGA Tour talent, including Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler. In this episode, he shares his journey through playing professionally, transitioning to coaching, and building one of the most successful programs in college golf.
Coach Fields breaks down the importance of mental toughness, learning to win at every level, and making the right decisions to reach the PGA Tour. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories from Texas’ NCAA Championship runs in 2012 and 2022.
In Angle of Attack, Andrew and Jim discuss how many tournaments might be too many for junior golfers, including what to look for and knowing when to pivot.
In the Opening Tee Shot, Jim and Joseph discuss Drop Score, the new fantasy game for college golf on DRVN.Golf. Check it out here: https://www.drvn.golf/drop-score
