The best golf TV is when golfers talk to their caddies, or when they are talking together.
It was the same Thursday, during the first-round of the Horizon Irish Open. Billy Horschel, who won the 2016 event at The K Club and Rory McIlroy were caught talking about the golf swing as they walked off the tee.
McIlroy – ranked second in golf – stopped walking from a tee to mimic a swing that Horschel described. Then, the second player talked about his golf swing’s feel and much more. For 30 seconds the two provided a mesmerizing commentary that any swing geek can’t get over.
