Todd Lewis, The Golf Channel, chats with Holly about The Golf Channel's coverage has had on the men and continues with the Women at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Todd pointed out that the golf media did not know what to expect going into the Olympics. He said the medal podium had two major champions and an American. He thinks that it has been a huge success for the game of golf. 
Todd and Kevin talk about the energy at the Olympics and the unification of countries through sports. Todd personally feels an uplifting for being in Rio. Holly and Todd talk about Day 1 at the Olympics for the women. Ariya Jutanugarn, Inbee Park, Lydia Ko, Lexi Thompson and many others atop the leaderboard.
Sean Foley, Golf Instructor and Swing Coach for Justin Rose and many other top professional golfers as well as a Golf Digest Top 50 instructor, joins the crew talking about Rose's success at the Olympics. Sean talks about how Rose is very observant and feeds off of the environment he is in and felt it would be good for Justin to go to Rio without some coaches ... hoping that it would enable him to clear his mind and it paid off. 
Sean talks about how coaching is more than just clubs and winning or losing, but helping the player deal with mental side of golf and life. Sean talks about how the biggest competitor in life is our self. "It's funny that in a way we become more intellectual, we become more 'dumb'." Referring to the misunderstanding of thought and where it comes from for all of us. "We tell our self a story (about some event) and then we manifest it and we live it." Foley feels that we dwell too much on the past and it shackles us from moving forward.
In the final segment of the show, Holly talks about Gene Sauers' first major win on the Champions Tour that happened this past weekend in Ohio. Steve Eubanks, Global Golf Post, was at the event. He talks to Holly about the women players competing in the Olympics. Gary Gilchrist is Ariya Jutanugarn's coach who Steve had a chance to speak with Gary and feels that Ariya is successful again because she just needed a confidence boost that Gary's coaching has provided. Holly and Steve talk about some of the other players competing at the Olympics.
