#196: The Middle of the Green Never Moves with Tour Pro Chris Naegel
Chris Naegel (@rightrough on IG) hops aboard the Train for the second time after playing in his second U.S. Open and Monday qualifying in back to back PGA Tour events. Chris is the guy who taught us all about being "aggressively conservative" a couple years ago, and today he's building on that concept even more for the average golfer. You'll be shocked to hear how different he plays golf than us.
