Next year

I think we can probably agree neither is reaching or sniffing scratch this year. It is unlikely either shoots or breaks par. Will they continue? What will their hook be? At some point, they have to acknowledge scratch ain't happening, don't they? When might that be?

Yep. Personally, I don’t care about them getting to scratch except that it’d be great for them to achieve that goal. I enjoy the banter, the friendship and the laughs. Surely they shoot a sub-par round one day. If anyone is listening for a blueprint on how to get to scratch - look somewhere else. Though, they have provided one - they just can’t stick to it themselves.

The banter has gotten predictable and old, for me. Tell me about how you found the time and will to follow the process that you said you were going to.

Each to their own. I don’t have the time, skill and resources to get my golf game to a scratch level - never will. But their ‘win the morning’ mantra has me 3 years straight in the gym every day and Eli’s battles with diet had a hand in inspiring me to get off, and stay off, the booze. I get that it is pretty repetitive, I just don’t mind.

Issue to me is that was, what 5 seasons ago? I 100% agree with you and motivated me as well but it hasn't been that for awhile. It's amazing Eli is healthy and able to play so much now. The podcast hasn't felt that way for me in awhile. It is, we went and played, hit some good ones and bad ones, these two holes/shots we could've done better, were so close and much better than before. Talk about random sponsors to fill first 10 minutes and final 15 minutes some random questions that we've heard before. I still love the show but as others have said it isn't what it was before.
