Joel Dahmen describing what playing with Phil Mickelson is like was pretty much perfect
Since the news of the PGA Tour's new Player Impact Program dropped, it seems like every tour pro is suddenly getting in on the social media action. Joel Dahmen and Phil Mickelson didn't need any extra incentive or guidance on drumming up some social media buzz, however, as they proved earlier this week.
