Adam Barr delves into the world of golf equipment as a reporter and analyst for Golf Central and the host of What’s In The Bag? , a weekly show devoted to everything about the tools of the game. In addition, he’s also the network’s senior correspondent for business and legal issues, thanks in large part to his first career – Barr practiced law for six years before switching to golf. Shortly after joining GOLF CHANNEL in 1997, Barr covered the Casey Martin golf cart case from its beginnings in Oregon to the steps of the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. Barr grew up in Pittsburgh during the best sports years (two World Series and four Super Bowls), and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and Duquesne University School of Law. He lives near Orlando with his wife and son.
