In this episode we bring on a Thomas O'Donoghue, proud golf addict and close friend of the pod. Thomas is a 15 handicap who originally picked up golf as a small child, took some time off, and now is back chasing his dream of breaking 80. 

We talk about a variety of topics including the live experience at a major, the heat of Pinehurst in September, and what the perfect pre round meal looks like. 

This week we bring on Ottavio Dattolo, a former semi professional baseball player turned avid golfer. Tav has an awesome story of how his parents got him into golf at an early age via the first tee program and his love for the game has blossomed ever since.  Tav's golf career peaked when he shot 74, but his lowest point is when he accidentally bought fake clubs off of Facebook Marketplace.  This is another great listen for any former baseball players out there.
