Holly G is in the studio with guest host Kevin Sternett, assistant pro at Golden Bear Club at Keene's Point, and Social Media pro Will Perry, EVVUS. 
Former writer for the Orlando Sentinel Jeff Shain, the Island Packet Hilton Head, S.C. and PGATour.com, calls in to talk to Holly about Branden Grace's win at the RBC Heritage on the PGA Tour.  Jeff had the opportunity to sit down and discuss Bryson DeChambeau who just turned pro and is already a third of the way to gaining the FedEx Cup points he needs to get his special temporary PGA Tour status. 
DeChambeau is a big believer in the science and art of golf and the marriage between the two. He has single length irons and most of his bag of Cobra Puma Golf clubs the same length. Holly and Jeff also discuss DeChambeau's clubs. Kevin talks about the 70-degree plane that DeChambeau uses for all his clubs which is not typical of any golfer.
Jeff said that although Branden Grace might be new to the U.S. viewers, he has already won 10 times overseas. He also talks about Luke Donald coming close but not winning lately especially at the RBC Heritage each time he competes there.
Holly catches listeners up on some of the headlines going on around the golf world. 
SwingClick Golf, Liesel Niehaus, International Sales director and Mike Quinn, former Sunshine Tour player and Managing Director for SwingClick, talk with Holly about the featured product on the Golf Insiders. Liesel said that the SwingClick can help your game in several ways, but the basis is that it helps you complete your backswing.  Sometimes we lose our rhythm and timing. Mike and Holly talk about Jordan Spieth losing his rhythm.
With the SwingClick you hear 3 audible clicks that help create the muscle memory with your swing.  Everyone's swing length is different. No one size fits all for the top of the backswing. The key is to find the top of you backswing and that is where if you swing properly, the SwingClick makes the first audible click at the top of your backswing. The second audible click is at impact and the third click is after complete follow through. At the PGA Show this year, SwingClick launched the SwingClick PLUS which is a sleeker, more aerodynamic model. 
Holly talks to Mike and Liesel about Phil Mickelson's mission to have people play the game golf for a lifetime and do it injury free using a less violent swing. The SwingClick can help develop a smooth, slow methodical swing. 
Mike said that Sam Snead played golf at an advanced again and was successful because of his smooth, non-violent swing. The emphasis is not always on distance but accuracy. 
Holly talks to Mike about Grace's win and is 14th in the Official World Golf Ranking. Fellow South African is getting better and better and Ernie Els has a lot of faith in Branden's ability. Mike said that Grace is getting better as he is getting older.  SwingClick PLUS is available at www.AMAZON.com, (search SwingClick) and enter the code "HOLLYG33" to receive a 20% discount on the SwingClick PLUS. Make sure to follow the Golf Insiders on Facebook and Twitter.
Dr. Bob Winters, Sports Psychologist from David Leadbetter Academy, Mental Conditioning Coach and renowned author, calls in to talk to Holly G and the crew about Ernie Els' 7-putt at the Master's on his first hole.  Dr. Bob says that there are two types of "yips" Type 1 and Type 2. Dr Bob talks about "freezing" while putting. The brain is always looking for something new and a new product or new method usually helps you fix problems with your putting and your swing. Els said he got his hands hig
