Questioning the best: Chuck Dunbar and Steve Murphy
At TravelGolf.com, we’ve put together a series of questions related to the game of golf, some serious and some rather off the wall, and we are attempting to get some of the higher-ups in the game of golf to weigh in on the topic. You’ll see everything from “Who’s your favorite touring pro?” to “What is the stupidest/most outrageous thing you’ve done on the golf course?”
Chuck Dunbar, head professional at the Pebble Beach Golf Links, and Steve Murphy from the Prince at Kauai were two of the first to indulge us with their responses.
