When you think about a football player and a golfer, the images in your head are likely drastically different. For Josh Jackson though, he loved both sports and ended up playing on both of his college teams. And then, he found a way to combine the brute force of football with the concentration and finesse of golf - Josh became a long drive champion.
Today on Getting to the Green, Josh shares his story of becoming a long drive competitor, how much money is available at these events, and if he'd rather win the Super Bowl or a golf major.
Getting to the Green is hosted by Mackenzie Mack, presented by the PGA of America, and is produced by Earfluence.
