Chasing Scratch: A Golf Podcast

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. http://chasingscratch.net MUSIC CREDITS: Dangerous by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100414 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ Chase - Scoring Action by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100399 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ Enigmatic is by bensound.com

In episode 2, Mike and Eli discuss the details behind their optimistic plans to somehow achieve scratch in one year.
