Listen "37- Five Iron Frustration"
Episode Synopsis
I’m a terrible golfer. On a regulation course, I’ve only broken 100 one time. I don’t go very often, maybe once or twice a year, so it’s no surprise that I’m not very good. Some people are naturally gifted at it and able to at least play near par without too much practice, but I am not one of those people.

My only option was to come back during the week (my only day off was every other Saturday), or play with a pair of strangers. ...
