Power off the tee. Power between the ears.
8-time Canadian Long Drive Champion Lisa “Longball” Vlooswyk returns to Next on the Tee to share what years of competing under pressure taught her about generating speed, handling nerves, creating more distance, and bouncing back after a bad swing. Lisa also shares a simple way everyday golfers can create more clubhead speed—without swinging out of their shoes.
Then, Dr. Jim Afremow and Emmy-nominated writer Phil White make their Next on the Tee debut to discuss their new book, The Daily Champion’s Mind. We dive into building real confidence, embracing pressure, overcoming doubt, resetting after mistakes, avoiding analysis paralysis, and separating who you are from how you performed.
Plus, we head to Augusta National to explore the mental challenge of The Masters and what happens when a player realizes, I can actually win this thing.
Distance. Confidence. Mental toughness. Gratitude. And, of course, a healthy dose of Vitamin G.
It’s all on this edition of Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better.

Meet the Host
I’m Chris Mascaro, who is blessed to be the award-winning host and creator of Next on the Tee. The heart of the show is a deep gratitude for my guests who share great stories, and a genuine love for the game of golf. Each week, I’m fortunate to sit down with golf legends, major champions, top instructors, broadcasters, caddies, and storytellers who are kind enough to share their time, insights, and experiences with all of us.
I believe golf is at its best when it brings people together. My goal with every episode is to go beyond the leaderboard and the swing tips, and instead focus on the stories, lessons, and moments that stay with us—both on and off the course. I want listeners to enjoy the game more, think about it a little differently, and feel connected to the people who have shaped it.
Next on the Tee has been honored with multiple industry awards, including w3, Davey, and Communicator Awards, and I’m incredibly grateful for that recognition. Even more meaningful to me is the community that’s grown around the show—“Next on the Tee Nation.” I never take for granted that you choose to spend your time here, and I’m thankful every time you press play.
At the end of the day, I approach each episode with humility, curiosity, and appreciation—for the guests who trust me with their stories, and for the listeners who continue to take the journey with me.
