336: Nobody Cares About Your Golf Score Unless You Break 80

Finding joy in the small moments of golf might be the secret to both happiness and improvement. Our conversation this week explores how the game's greatest champions approach winning, why some players obsess over stats while others reject scorecards entirely, and what makes a community tournament special despite challenging conditions.

When Scottie Scheffler secured another major victory, his subdued celebration sparked a fascinating discussion about competitive mindset. Unlike Tiger's fierce intensity, Scheffler appears almost indifferent to winning—focused more on being a great husband, father and human than collecting trophies. Could this detachment from results actually be his superpower? The contrast between different approaches to competition mirrors our own diverse perspectives on score-keeping, with some hosts tracking every metric while others refuse to even carry a pencil.

We share laughs opening vintage 1991 PGA Tour card packs (complete with $0.10 coupons!), recap the VGN tournament at Chimera where players battled heat, humidity, and mysteriously slow greens, and preview our upcoming adventure to Payson, Arizona to experience two spectacular private courses. 

The conversation turns philosophical when we consider what drives our passion for golf. Is it the pursuit of lower scores and technical perfection, or simply the gift of playing each hole, regardless of outcome? As one host reminds us, "Every hole you get to play is a gift" – a perspective worth remembering whether you're competing for millions or just enjoying a weekend round with friends.
