This week we recap a wild round featuring John Paul’s post-surgery comeback, Cody’s surprise birdie, and Eric’s run-in with the biggest spider we’ve ever seen on the course.

We talk golf etiquette, nerd out on video games like Mario Golf and Walkabout Mini Golf, debut our new Birding Book challenge, and review Zuberfizz Root Beer in another Birdie Bev taste test.

Some golf rounds are about great shots. Others… are about surviving the pairing from hell.

This week, the guys recap a round featuring one of the most frustrating (and bizarre) playing partners they’ve ever encountered—multiple mulligans, putting out of turn, and even a mid-round etiquette meltdown.

But it’s not all bad news—there were highlight-reel shots, boss battle book completions, and a little RPG-inspired golf talk:

• Highlight Reel: Our best shots from the last five rounds
• At the Turn: If golf were an RPG, where would you put your stat points?
• This or That: Soft or Crunchy Tacos
• Birdie Bev: (You’ll have to listen to find out 🍻)

We also revisit Torrey Pines and a rare moment when anxiety melted away, proving why we love this maddening game in the first place.

Whether you’re here for the golf tips, the etiquette rants, or the nerdy RPG parallels—this episode’s got something for you.
