Andy Walker, director of the UGA Academy and Player Development, joins the show to share how he's passionately giving back to the game he loves.

"It's so much bigger than just the technology involved. When we talk about creating Wakanda For Golf, we're referring to Black Panther, which was such a hit for people of color because for the first time there's a hero that looks like us," he said. "Now talented young black golfers are going to be inspired by seeing people that look and talk like them, who are competing, practicing and grinding on their game."
