Getting to Know Isaac Simmons:

If you had to create a new rule for golf, what would it be?
- Two shot penalty for wearing black golf shoes
If you were on a deserted island and could only pick one teammate to be with you who would you pick and why?
- Ike Joy, let me be clear this it the only circumstance in which I would choose him, but he is very creative and can problem solve
What’s the most unusual talent you have that not many people know about?
I have one of the best Bigfoot calls in the world
If you had to play a round of golf using only one club, which club would you choose and why?
- 5 iron. I can hit it long enough to reach most par 4s in 2 and all par 5s in 3, but I’ll have enough versatility with it around the green to score.
