A riot for anyone who enjoys the pains of golf
As a “high handicapper”in the ~20 range who played the game a ton when I was young, and has recently gotten back into in in my mid 30’s (with wife and kids) with a realistic goal of under bogey golf, I feel like this podcast was made for me. Listening to these two struggle, succeed, laugh, cry and everything in between has been an absolute joy. I’m nearing season two and I’m absolutely hooked, and am blown away by how two amateurs were able to make such a relatable, fun, and ADDICTIVE podcast. You get the feeling that they’re just commenting on their day to day, but it’s just a wonderful journal of what a strive to being a better golfer is like. It’s got great production, to the point where it’s fun to listen to, but not overproduced. (Seems weird to say, but if these were two guys constantly shooting par with an epic sound track and tons of editing, it wouldn’t be nearly as fun). I feel like I could join them in a round which is half the value of the pod. The fact that their “segments” are literally derived live makes the listener that much more entrenched, you feel like you’re a part of the team. They are humbled constantly, and you’ll find yourself rooting for them instantly. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve literally fist pumped during their “dramatic readings” of their scores. I hope them continued success, (until I catch up with their handicaps, in which case they can go to hell like any golfer that much better than me). Well worth the listen. The twitter feed has been a joy as well. Let’s go!!

New favorite podcast. Great rapport between these two and funny as all get out. “Come on Rick” is my new daily phrase!

Binged listened season 1 & now caught up to Season 2, episode 6. What a show! Only if my golf tour crew (10th year coming up in August) was so committed. We have a few Mike & Eli’s .... some of them does not know it yet. Keep it up guys, it is more entertaining than Game of Thrones!
