    How to Juggle Golf and Life w/ Andy Walker and Steve Hinks

    On this episode I have Andy Walker and Steve Hinks from The Missing Links Golf Show podcast. We discuss:
    Time management
    Goal setting
    Fatherhood
    Work/life/golf balance
    Strategic planning
    Practical tips to get the most out of your time
    How to practice and play more golf
    And much more.
