FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast Ep. 20: Summer Season Wrap + Golf Mythbusters

In episode 20 of the FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast, educators Greg and Brad return to work after a short summer and wrap up their eight-week summer golf competition, where Brad wins decisively after Greg’s “blind Hail Mary” point-doublers fail to hit. They recap Brad’s strong play, including an even-par 72 and consistently low rounds, while Greg grades his season a “C,” describing near misses, a rain-delayed round, and an errant tee shot that reached a parking lot before he salvaged a net score. The episode’s main segment is a “Mythbusters” game debating common golf beliefs such as playing your miss, uphill vs. flat lies, range practice translating to the course, the first tee shot setting the tone, hangover vs. lack of sleep, rangefinders helping or hurting, playing with better golfers, conservative tee strategy, and whether a home course inflates handicap, before previewing upcoming announcements and major number four.

Morning Coffee, Stoneleigh Scores & Late-Summer Golf Goals | FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast

Brad and Greg record a morning coffee episode as summer winds down, discussing golf, the end-of-break mindset, and school scheduling. They recap their weekly round at Stoneleigh with friend Markina, noting how punishing the course is and how rough and bounces can change outcomes. Brad posts a clean 73 (35–38) with strong fairway stats, while Greg, hindered by a broken pinky toe and lost balls, shoots 91 despite improving on the back nine; the season points lead grows to 17–2 with one week left, prompting talk of a “blind Hail Mary” like a called hole-in-one and a needed 70s round. They also check in on fitness and golf goals, including mobility and lifting, handicap progress, and late-summer positivity levels around 6–7.

Summer Season Update, Tournament Recap & Course Management Tips with Stevie P. | FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast

Brad and Greg return to the FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast after a week off to recap two weeks of their summer season, now in the doubled-points back half. Greg shares a Delaware round at Bayside where a strong day unraveled with a 10 on 18 for an 89, while Brad posts a 76 at Stoneleigh and extends the lead. The next week Greg battles heavy wind at Castle Bay for an 87 after forgetting his shoes and buying new FootJoys, while Brad shoots a personal-best 70 with five birdies, swinging the points and adding bonus points. They also recap a shamble tournament at their home course, finishing second in gross and cashing. The episode closes with Stevie P.’s “Tips from the Pro” segment focused on course management for mid-handicappers—minimizing big numbers, forgetting par, choosing smart targets, and making committed decisions.
