  • Grateful to be Along for the Ride

    You the man Ev! Listening to your pod has helped me start to enjoy golf again and not put so much pressure on myself. When I find myself getting in a funk I try to remind myself how much of a pleasure it is to get to play golf and it snaps me out of it and allows me to focus on enjoying the sport I love!

  • Must listen for golf addicts

    I can’t say enough great things about this podcast. Ev and Cerm make it such a fun and easy listen and - unlike any other golf podcast - they make the show about the listener. Each episode gets me more and more excited about my next round and elevating my game to the lowest handicap possible. Highly recommend!

I embraced the challenge. I made it fun for myself. I treated it like 3rd and 9 or having the ball down 2 with 20 seconds left in basketball. Hit 2 great shots and birdied... more

  • Great mental game golf pod!

    I am a newer listener to the show, and I have been in a real battle with golf for what feels like a while, not scoring how I want, getting angry during rounds, negative feelings towards golf for a while now. I listened to couple of episodes, and one in particular about shifting focus to ensuring people in the group are having fun, and it worked wonders in my last round. Definite “A-ha” moment mentally on the course. Already seeing the benefits in my game, and there are a ton of good takeaways fr... more
