In this week’s podcast, host Dave Berner speaks with author Michael Bohn about his book “Money Golf” and the long link between golf and gambling.
“The professional tour owes its origins to betting among players in Scotland and Great Britain,” Bohn says. “In the mid to late 1800s, challenge matches were the most common form of entertainment in golf. The gentlemen would back their pro or their caddie against someone else, and the pros would take some cash home from those matches. That was the origin of the money list.”
Also, part two of Dave’s conversation with TravelGolf.com’s Brandon Tucker about golf in Malaysia. (Click here for part 1.)
Plus, Berner plays a clip from a new video by The Golf Ballerz, the first golf rap band.
This podcast is supported by Walter’s Golf in Las Vegas and San Diego Golf Central.
