Golf for Goobers

I live in Arizona, apparently golf should be in my blood. The closest I’ve been to golf is a putter and a windmill.
My father-in-law loves to golf, to me it’s like sleeping. I remember turning on the tube with afternoon golf and hitting a solid snooze.
These gents, Logan, Erik and Craig make listening to golf how Robin Hood made investing to millennials intriguing. I like how they explain the premise of golf for those who might wear their hat backwards. I also appreciate how they cover the legends like Tiger, one of the most familiar golfers of our era. It’s like they still choose to talk Brady even while Mahomes is storming in.

Thanks for bringing this noob some semblance of golf lingo, my father-in-law will be impressed.
