Two Off The Tee

In Episode 4, we dive into the great handicap debate — is it fair to talk trash when you’re getting 10–20 strokes? We break down what’s staying and going in our bags for 2025, why pace of play is so brutal on public courses, and the on-course pet peeves that tilt us the most (yes, including Kirkland search parties and people never fixing pitch marks).

If you’re a weekend golfer, league player, or Chicago golfer who loves unfiltered golf talk, this one hits home.

Topics:
– Are handicaps making golfers soft?
– Talking trash with strokes
– Gear changes: drivers, 3-woods, 3-irons, wedges
– Why does the pace of play collapse
– Golf etiquette & pet peeves

In this episode of Two Off The Tee, Jeff and James break down the best golf gifts for the 2025 season — from training aids and putting mats to launch monitors, bags, sunglasses, apparel, and the gear that actually helps you improve.

They also recap their round at Bolingbrook, including the back-nine blowup, the Ranger controversy, and where the match really turned. The brothers compare their favorite Chicago courses, talk winter golf reality, and close with their honest take on the Capital One Skins Match on Prime and how it stacks up against creator events like the Internet Invitational.

If you’re a Chicago golfer, gear junkie, or just love real amateur golf talk, this one’s loaded.

Anthony Kim is officially back, and we break down what his return means for golf. We also dive into the Internet Invitational drama, golf course behavior, music on the course, slow play, and why indoor simulators are getting out of control.

On the back half, we get into the year our bets went too far, our honest thoughts on gimmies, and what it means for Chicago courses to shut down for new housing.

Two Off the Tee is honest amateur golf talk from brothers Jeff and James Shin—Chicago golfers, weekend competitors, and lifelong trash talkers.
