The PGA Tour's "On the Mark" podcast is one of Jamy Bechler's favorites to listen to and so he was excited to appear as a guest and talk with host Mark Immelman. This is a throw back episode from 5 years ago as we go into the vault to replay this fun episode.

ORIGINAL EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Jamy Bechler is a former College Basketball Coach and Professor turned Professional Speaker, Leadership Trainer and Executive Business Coach. He is "John Maxwell Team" certified and travels the USA to motivate and coach people and organizations on how to build a championship culture. Jamy joins the show to discuss his book - The Leadership Playbook - and how you can become the best version of yourself. He specifically addresses his 7 Foundational Principles of Leadership: Success is a Choice, Integrity, Positive Attitude, Discipline, Responsibility, Respect and Growth. He also ties these elements into the game of golf and illustrates how development in these areas can help you not only grow, but improve your game.

"ON THE MARK" DESCRIPTION

The On the Mark podcast offers listeners best-in-class golf instruction plus interviews with PGA TOUR players, coaches, caddies, sports psychologists, fitness trainers, and more.

Mark Immelman is an accomplished broadcaster, golf instructor, college coach, and author. He has coached players to success on the PGA TOUR, European Tour and Sunshine Tour. Mark is passionate about golf and believes in a holistic approach to the game. Having coached two Masters Champions, Larry Mize and younger brother Trevor Immelman, Mark understands what it takes to get to the top of the game, and he shares these "trade secrets" with listeners around the globe on his podcasts.

As a player, Mark Immelman was a four-time All American and played on two NCAA championship-winning teams. He knows what it takes to perform under pressure and he helps listeners do the same with tips, drills, focusing techniques, and more.

Mark Immelman is a regular contributor to CBS Sports and PGA TOUR LIVE, and formerly broadcast on PGA TOUR Radio. It was in that capacity that he was featured on ESPN's SportsCenter, following an incident in which he was hit by an errant golf shot in the 2014 Farmers Insurance Open (watch here).
