The Par Train - Helping Frustrated Golfers #EnjoyTheRide

Ev and Cerm recently received an unusual and fascinating e-mail from a long time listener regarding a golf bet for the ages. One 14 handicap vs. a 20 handicap. The first golfer to break par wins a free round, dinner, and drinks anywhere they want in the world. Being motivated and fueled by the bet, Ross got down from a 14 to a 0.8 index and is knocking on the door to finally break par. If he can pull it off, he wins a round off his best buddy to the Old Course at St. Andrews. What is standing in Ross's way? How can he finally get over the hump? If you want to dig into an epic buddies bet, and also learn some keys to help you shoot a low score down the stretch, this episode is for you. Riding the struggle bus?
