The primary focus of this encore podcast episode is an engaging dialogue with Jimmy James, who undertook the remarkable challenge of playing the top 100 golf courses in the United States within a single year. As he recounts his journey, we delve into the motivations that propelled him toward this ambitious goal, particularly his desire to reconnect with his family and experience the diverse golfing landscape of the nation. Furthermore, Jimmy shares insights from his newly authored book, "Playing from the Rough," which chronicles not only his golfing adventure but also the profound reflections on his life that emerged from these experiences.
