Rich explores politically charged family gatherings, unlikely golf friendships, and our increasingly offended society while delving into the mental complexities of golf. His storytelling weaves together insights about human cooperation, the absurdity of political arguments, and our tendency to talk to ourselves on the golf course.
• Questioning media coaching for family holiday gatherings amid political tensions
• Reflecting on Yuval Noah Harari's theory that storytelling helped humans evolve through cooperation
• Fighting with people we know on behalf of politicians who don't know we exist
• The tale of Wi-Fi and Kris Kringle: polar opposites united by golf and a football bet
• How Wi-Fi's betting satchel became a travel companion and possibly cursed Kringle's golf game
• Examining the rise of "shaming" culture and America's increasing sensitivity
• Statistics about America's obesity epidemic and questioning if fat shaming is insensitive or truth-telling
• Golf's mental game requires pre-shot routines and managing the dual entities in a golfer's mind
• Age affects memory recall but not the tendency to talk to ourselves during poor shots
• Finding your method to hit consistent shots without alienating friends when things don't go your way
