Larry Fitzgerald on his Hole-in-One With Obama, Country Club Rejection, and Why Golf Is Harder Than the NFL

About this episode

Larry Fitzgerald discusses his experiences in golf compared to the NFL, including a memorable hole-in-one with President Obama and overcoming rejection from a country club.

Larry Fitzgerald caught everything thrown at him for 17 years in the NFL. Apparently golf is a different story. The Hall of Famer joins Brian, Cooper, and Kenny to share the humbling moment a golf club told him he was too bad to join — and the three-month mission to prove them wrong. Plus: why hitting a five-iron with a gallery watching is scarier than any third down, the story of making a hole-in-one in front of President Obama and having to play it cool with the Secret Service, and the story of one of the "most magical moments in golf history" at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
