On this episode of Next on the Tee, where golf legends live and your game gets better, I’ve got another great lineup to help you play better and think smarter on the course.
Leading things off is 2000 LPGA Teacher of the Year and Teaching & Club Professional Hall of Fame instructor Nancy Quarcelino. Nancy shares her thoughts on the LPGA’s TV challenges, what advice she’d give to Commissioner Craig Kessler, and insights on this year’s Solheim Cup. From there, she delivers outstanding golf instruction—covering proper setup, how to practice when time is limited, and the common mistakes mid- to high-handicappers make.
Next, The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters, returns with a powerful mental game lesson. This month, he breaks down why saying “I must” after a bad hole leads to pressing, poor decisions, and big numbers—and what to do instead to stay composed, confident, and in control.
We wrap things up with Miura Golf’s North American Sales Manager, Blake Smith. A Master Club Fitter, Blake explains why getting properly fit is essential, then takes us inside Miura’s legendary craftsmanship, where every iron is individually forged and inspected. Plus, we dive into which of their irons and wedges is right for you. Ee hear about their new PI-402 irons and why even elite players trust Miura without endorsement deals.
If you’re looking for golf tips, golf instruction, mental game strategies, and equipment insights, this episode has you covered.
Thank you for pressing play and being part of Next on the Tee Nation.

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.
