State Of The Game 73: Geoff Ogilvy, Presidents Cup, Etc...

We've put the band back together and talk to Geoff Ogilvy about this recent Presidents Cup gig as an assistant captain along with other issues in the game.

For those wanting to hear Geoff's appearance on Playing With Science alongside Neil degrasse Tyson, it will be here when it is pushed out to devices.

The MP3 version is here and of course the show is available on iTunes.

Very interesting comment by Geoff Ogilvy about playing his best when 'uncomfortable and nervous' - Padraig Harrington has often said the same. It seems being comfortable and in control is overrated.

He was just 'uncomfortable and nervous' because he realised he would have to come home and work for a living!!

Mike - I reckon Harrington's uncomfortable comment is more swing related than mental.. Swing improvements are always uncomfortable until bedded in but it doesn't mean you cannot play well feeling that way. Best of luck to Geoff. He is a top bloke. He won't remember but I had a good chat with him once and he was every bit as forthcoming as he is when talking to you three amigos.
