In this episode of Closing the Deal, Sam Enright and Zach Dickson recap a four-day Florida golf trip through West Palm Beach, Jupiter, and Stuart, breaking down every round, every mistake, and every lesson learned.

From starting the trip at the West Palm Beach Par 3 straight off the plane, to revisiting North Palm Beach Country Club, battling brutal winds at The Florida Club, and finishing with a full caddie-led walking round at The Park, this episode is a true golf sicko deep dive.

We talk:

• Why par-3 courses are the perfect travel warm-up
• How wind exposure completely changes course strategy
• The mental side of golf and committing to shots
• Why amateurs don’t lose strokes to birdies — but to double bogeys and snowmen
• What it’s really like walking The Park with a caddie
• Why Florida palm trees are NOT “90% air”
• And how small decision-making mistakes quietly wreck good rounds

If you love destination golf, course architecture, trip planning, or honest post-round reflection, this one’s for you.
