episode 3: Grounded & Connected - Leo Herrera
The Connected Golfer..that can mean so many things when it comes to golf. Leo Herrera is just that dude, and he joins us today on Chasin’ Birdies to cover a lot of golf talk…and staying connected.
If you have social media, you may have seen Leo’s reels from time to time. If you haven’t, make sure you check him out. We open up the episode and talk with Leo about his pursuit of golf and his little range session with Viktor Hovland.
Leo considers himself an exhibition golfer who tries to grow the game at a high level through content and teaching. He explains his idea behind The Connected Golfer, and it all starts to make sense.
Leo talks about his win at the USGA Four-Ball at Chambers Bay in 2021, which was a wild story to hear. We chat about the development of golfers early on and whether or not someone just ‘has it’ in their ability to win events. Putter talk ensues..and it can’t be overlooked that the mallet putter is gaining popularity.
We pose the Golfer’s Dilemma to Leo and get his thoughts on whether a caddie’s performance on the course affects the tip at the end of the round. We round out the episode with our standard Tap-In Segment, where we ask 4 questions that demand his quick response. We cover a lot in this episode and a lot of good stuff. Tune in and enjoy the banter.
