Host Dave Berner has Executive Editor Mark Nessmith chatting about Nairn, a little town in the Scottish Highlands he says makes a great base for a golf trip to that part of Scotland.
You’ve got some solid tracks in the Nairn area (Nairn Dunbar Golf Club, Nairn Golf Club and Cawdor Castle Golf Course), plus it’s an easy drive to Inverness and even Royal Dornoch, Nessmith says.
Is your 6-iron really a 6-iron? Senior writer (and inveterate golf gear junkie) Kiel Christianson brings out some stats which show that club manufacturers are de-lofting their irons. “Companies are trying to market their irons as hitting the ball farther than their competitors,” Kiel says. He goes on to cite Tom Wishon’s book “The Search for the Perfect Golf Club.”

The Vern Burns Phenomenon: Part II. Dave talks again with the 48-year-old would-be PGA Tour pro about his future goals and what it’s like being the oldest new golf pro around.
