Charlie Hulme sits down with his grandfather, Sam Reeves, for his first appearance on the show — filmed at Pebble Beach the night he and Ben Crenshaw were honored at The Langley, a charity event named for longtime Cypress Point head pro Jim Langley.
Sam was close to Tiger Woods' camp the week of the 2000 U.S. Open, and he shares what he saw in the days leading up to and during Tiger's record 15-shot win.
Plus: memories of Jim Langley, first watching a young Ben Crenshaw at the 1972 U.S. Amateur, the creation of Sand Hills and its spiritual connection to Old Tom Morris, and why Sam, at 92, thinks the game of golf is more needed than ever.
