Jack O'Leary, former writer for the Boston Globe and a well traveled golf writer, calls in to wrap up the show to talk about Links golf. Jack says that the game will be won on the ground and not in the air as many of the tournaments are normally. Muirfield is a very narrow course. Distance and par are not two of the key elements in Links golf. The way the rough is set up and its more of a chess game.
Jack says that Muirfield you have to hit the ball 15 yards from the green and not fly the green. If you hit the green the ball is going to fly off. It's better to hit the ball short and rolling it in to the green.
