Episode Notes
Martin Trainer is retiring from professional golf. He joins Dylan Dethier to tackle a question — what did he learn playing pro golf? — and runs through 10 answers (plus some more) as he pulls back the curtain on the myths and realities of the PGA Tour. This is the stuff you don't get from a Sunday broadcast or a simple player profile.
So what's it like staring down Rory McIlroy in a playoff? What's it like missing a whole bunch of cuts in a row? What single course on Tour REALLY stands out? Which stop has the best food? What will he miss about being a pro and what's he happy to leave behind? Trainer's decade-plus as a pro included plenty of highs and lows.
And now: What's next? Trainer is planning a unique post-Tour path, but thinks his golf experience will help with his next chapter.
