Keith Zubchevich has played golf with more Hall of Famers than most people have watched on TV. From a standing tee time with Marcus Allen, Alonzo Mourning, Richard Dent, and Ronnie Lott to 36 holes with Lawrence Taylor on his birthday, Keith's golf life reads like a sports documentary. But the story that cost him the most money involves Wayne Gretzky, Janet Gretzky, and a $4,000 golf bet at Sherwood Country Club.

We cover:

• How Keith bluffed his way into Tiger Woods' locker room at Castle Pines
• Walking three holes inside the ropes with Tiger and Fluff before security caught on
• Playing 36 holes with Lawrence Taylor — chain-smoking cigars and cigarettes, shooting 71-69 from the tips
• The $4,000 Sherwood bet with Janet Gretzky that Michael Jordan refuses to take
• Why Paso Tiempo is "possessed by demons" and almost broke Keith's spirit
• A Pebble Beach weekend with Spyglass and the Lodge — worth every dollar
• 50 pairs of Jordan golf shoes and the philosophy of looking like you can play
• Beat the Pro charity stories: hitting it to 6 inches and beating hackers left-handed
• The two rules of golf: play with people you like, and lower your expectations

Shaun Diachkoff is a TPI-certified golf fitness coach who works remotely with everyone from weekend warriors to tour players. He lives in the Cayman Islands, grew up in Australia, and spends half his year traveling to meet clients at courses like Ridgewood and Aronomink — places that won't let you take a cart. Shaun explains why most golfers are trying to tune a Ferrari engine on a rusted chassis, how he screens clients like a first date, and what Barnbougle Dunes in Tasmania actually plays like when the wind is blowing 40 knots.

We cover:

• Why walking 18 holes exposes your real fitness level
• TPI certification and what Titleist Performance Institute actually teaches
• The "busted chassis" analogy — why fitness has to come before swing mechanics

• What it's like playing the only 18-hole course in the Cayman Islands (spoiler: bring 70 balls)
• Barnbougle Dunes and the Lost Farm — Tasmania's answer to links golf
• Match play mentality and Australian pennant competitions
• Why a 67-year-old with six surgeries gained 50 yards in eight months
