Talking Golf With US Golf TV’s Todd Kolb [AUDIO]

It's been a big time for golf the past two weeks, with the pros crowning their final major winner of the year and South Dakota awarding amateur titles in men's and women's stroke play.

Teaching PGA Professional Todd Kolb from USGolfTV.com talks about Jason Duffner's win at the PGA Championship and some of the struggles of the big name players:

After the individual events are over, there's a big team competition in October, as the US takes on the world at the President's Cup at Muirfield in Dublin, Ohio.  The Americans have dominated this event, winning six straight dating back to 1998.

With the school year now here, attention locally turns to the high school boy's fall season where Lincoln is the defending state champs, but the Patriots will have plenty of competition this season:

The fall high school boys championships are October 7-8.  The AA tournament is at Brandon Golf Course, the A tournament is at Central Valley Golf Club in Hartford.
