Andy & Scott give you their Masters picks in a way no one else does. Here is the game:

• Each one picks 10 players who can win
• We eliminate picks from the other's list until we have 10 total players
• Each host drafts 5 players for their poker hand
• The winner has bragging rights for eternity

We discuss the strengths and current form of top golfers like Rory McIlroy, Scotty Scheffler, and Bryson DeChambeau, among others. We also delve into what we love about the Masters, how the course conditions could play a crucial role, and why consistent ball striking might be key this year.

The best make everything look easier. Because they are prepared.

I had a blast hanging with Andy while he was in Coach Walker mode. Eastern Michigan spent the week in Las Vegas, preparing for and playing the Lake Las Vegas Invitational. Andy’s team won the event last year, and he prepped his Eastern Michigan team to (as Drake would say) go back to back.

The level of detail was phenomenal. The players learned lessons. Mostly importantly, you can learn lessons to take to your preparation and play as well.
