Join us on the journey to improve our golf game and see if we can apply the lessons learned on the course to our lives off the course, and (more importantly) vice versa

Ep. 120 Middle-Aged Golfers, Peak Confusion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Steve and Andy are back with something rare… their own golf to talk about—and plenty of it.
This episode is a deep dive into the messy middle of improvement. The kind where things are clearly getting better… but not quite showing up on the scorecard yet.
Steve shares a solid medal round built on consistency (no doubles), better putting, and a breakthrough with the driver—thanks to a simple grip adjustment that changed everything. It’s the clearest “path forward” he’s seen in a while… even if the short game still has other ideas.
Andy’s game is trending too, with elite ball striking showing up in patches—including one of the best long iron shots he’s hit in years. But when the pressure dial turned up, so did an old enemy: the snap hook.
The result? A round that proves the game is there… just not fully under control yet.
There’s also:
- A near-miss in a two-ball Ambrose (decided by a lip-out… of course)
- A reminder that good golf doesn’t always mean low scores
- Honest reflections on technical flaws vs mental performance
- And a look ahead to Steve’s senior amateur debut at Duntry
This is golf improvement in real time—progress, frustration, and just enough hope to keep you coming back.
