Episode 033: The Gear Obsession: A Hobby or a Problem?

Is it your swing… or your equipment? 👀

In this episode of the Scrambling Dads Podcast, we break down everything you need to know about golf club fitting, shaft dynamics, spin rates, wedge lifespan, and the mental side of upgrading your gear. We talk driver vs. mini driver trends, gapping sessions, and why personalized club fitting can dramatically improve performance.

Special guest Collin joins us to unpack how technology is changing golf equipment, how fitting impacts distance and consistency, and why understanding your unique swing matters more than chasing the latest golf trends.

If you’re a golf dad, weekend warrior, or serious player looking to lower your handicap, this one’s for you.

In this episode of the Scrambling Dads Podcast, Jason and Marcus dive into the real-life chaos of modern parenting — from Valentine’s Day expectations and kids’ sports madness to gaming as family bonding time. 🎮⚽

They unpack generational differences in work ethic, the powerful (and sometimes hilarious) influence of grandparents, and how morning routines can make or break your household. The dads also get honest about single parent challenges, “harmless” white lies, balancing fun vs. structure (yes, even in golf), and raising kids in today’s tech-driven world.

If you’re navigating fatherhood, parenting in the digital age, youth sports schedules, or just trying to survive dad life with your sanity intact — this episode is for you.

We talk about mentorship, parenting from the sidelines, building community through sports, and what Brooks Koepka’s return (and LIV Golf) says about the future of competition.
