Season 1 finale! School's back, winter's coming, and Steven hasn't touched a club since their last recording. David shares his offseason survival tactics while Steven questions whether putting practice indoors is actually enjoyable.

What we discuss:

• Why offseason maintenance feels impossible (spoiler: putting inside isn't as fun as golfing outside)
• David's putting mat routine: mark distances, practice speed control, miss = restart
• Indoor practice alternatives: plastic ball chipping into laundry baskets
• The motivation problem: taking golf out of nature makes it less enjoyable
• Simulator memberships and why Steven's wife's office setup is perfect
• Book recommendations: Ben Hogan's Five Lessons and Rick Reilly's Who's Your Caddy?
• The great caddy debate: Steven thinks they just hold clubs, David defends their spiritual importance
• Steven's offseason assignments: get a putting mat, experience a real caddy, play D&D

Key moments:

• Steven's confession: "Putting inside doesn't feel quite as enjoyable"
• David's discipline plan: 10 putts before starting work each day
• The caddy revelation: "You think they just hold clubs?! That's offensive!"
• Steven becomes David's caddy: "I'm telling you what's next for you"
• David's accountability check: did NOT drop handicap to 14 as promised
• Steven's accountability check: never played 18 holes (complete fail)

Bottom line: Winter makes golf maintenance tough because the joy is being outside. But putting mats, plastic ball chipping, golf books, and simulators can keep you sharp until spring. Also, everyone needs to experience a real caddy at least once.

Season 1 recap: David failed his handicap goal, Steven only played executive courses and never conquered 18 holes. See you next season when the frost clears!
