The concept for “Quick Nine” is to give golf gamblers a behind-the-scenes look into their favorite personalities backgrounds and strategies.

On this week’s episode of Quick Nine, I talk with Joe Idone (@TourPicks) about a variety of topics including his start in golf gambling and his approach to each tournament.

Topics:
