The voice will be familiar but there is much more to Golf Channel’s Rich Lerner than most golf fans would ever guess.
From humble beginnings growing up on a family-owned driving range and miniature golf course in a tough part of Allentown, Pennsylvania, Lerner fell in love with the game. A by-product of his time working the range is a single figure handicap and a couple of club championship trophies from the 1980s.
After years of working in the media, he finally achieved his dream job – one of the most sought-after seats in golf television. Here, Lerner shares some fabulous stories with John Huggan in another excellent episode of The Thing About Golf.
