Chasing Scratch: A Golf Podcast
Two friends. One goal. Unlimited optimism.
Episodes
Is it optimism or stupidity? Seven months ago, we started a quest to go from 11 handicaps to scratch in a year. In episode 1, we revisit our original conversations from last August as we fleshed out the idea, get family and friends to weigh in on our chances, set rules and stakes, and perpetually shift between pure optimism and unbelief.

In episode 2, Mike and Eli discuss the details behind their optimistic plans to somehow achieve scratch in one year. From range commitments to fitness to another round of honesty hour, no stone is left unturned ... and the episode ends with a surprising start to the first official round of the chase.

In this very different, barely-edited bonus episode, Mike and Eli answer listener questions. Not sure how great this will be to listen to, but it was a lot of fun to record. *Also, retraction: Virtucon only made $9 billion in 1997.
