Curious why golf gets under your skin and stays there? In this episode, Corey pulls back the curtain on the game’s “simple” basics to reveal the deeper stuff: character, history, design, language, and the mental rhythm that keeps players hooked for life. You’ll hear how a self-policed honor code shaped the sport, why we play 18 holes, where birdies and bogeys came from, how ball dimples changed the flight forever, and why handicaps are the genius math that lets friends of different skill levels compete fairly.
We also touch on pace of play, the magic of your first pure strike, and a quick update on the latest Birdie Board release: feedback link in-app, festive holiday logo, and a new host control to manually override player handicaps for a match.
