Season 3, Episode #20 (#70)- Myth Busters
FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast Ep. 20: Summer Season Wrap + Golf Mythbusters In episode 20 of the FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast, educators Greg and Brad return to work after a short summer and wrap up their eight-week summer golf competition, where Brad wins decisively after Greg’s “blind Hail Mary” point-doublers fail to hit. They recap Brad’s strong play, including an even-par 72 and consistently low rounds, while Greg grades his season a “C,” describing near misses, a rain-delayed round, and an errant tee shot that reached a parking lot before he salvaged a net score. The episode’s main segment is a “Mythbusters” game debating common golf beliefs such as playing your miss, uphill vs. flat lies, range practice translating to the course, the first tee shot setting the tone, hangover vs. lack of sleep, rangefinders helping or hurting, playing with better golfers, conservative tee strategy, and whether a home course inflates handicap, before previewing upcoming announcements and major number four. 00:00 Episode 20 Kickoff 01:02 Back to School Blues 02:27 Summer Season Wrap 02:53 Hail Marys and Score 04:55 Stats and Consistency 07:13 Season Grade Talk 08:57 Rain Delay Round 16:23 Punishment and Phantom 17:40 Mythbusters Begins 21:48 Range and Tee Myths 23:41 Hangover Golf Debate 24:14 No Hangover Genetics 25:42 Grind vs Protect Lead 29:07 Warmup and Salvage Mode 30:54 Scorecard and Late Collapses 32:26 Rangefinder Myth 37:29 Better Players Boost You 39:48 Safe Tee vs Blowups 45:17 Home Course Handicap Effect 49:18 Season Wrap and Next Major Check us out: Follow FairwayFit Golf www.FairwayFitGolf.com Youtube:@FairwayFitGolfPodcast Twitter: @FairwayFitGolf IG: @FairwayFitGolf Tik Tok: @FairwayFitGolf

Morning Coffee, Stoneleigh Scores & Late-Summer Golf Goals | FairwayFit Fit Golf Podcast Brad and Greg record a morning coffee episode as summer winds down, discussing golf, the end-of-break mindset, and school scheduling. They recap their weekly round at Stoneleigh with friend Markina, noting how punishing the course is and how rough and bounces can change outcomes. Brad posts a clean 73 (35–38) with strong fairway stats, while Greg, hindered by a broken pinky toe and lost balls, shoots 91 despite improving on the back nine; the season points lead grows to 17–2 with one week left, prompting talk of a “blind Hail Mary” like a called hole-in-one and a needed 70s round. They also check in on fitness and golf goals, including mobility and lifting, handicap progress, and late-summer positivity levels around 6–7. 00:00 Blind Hail Mary Bet 00:17 Podcast Welcome 01:13 Summer Grind Talk 03:35 Stormy Round Reset 05:17 Stoneleigh Match Setup 05:41 Greg Front Nine Struggles 07:58 Brad’s Clean 35 09:25 Back Nine Swing 11:05 Greg's 91 Breakdown 12:36 Golf’s Crazy Bounces 13:50 Calling the Blind Ace 14:35 Scoring Challenge Rules 15:09 Swing Tweaks and Contact 17:45 Late Summer Goals Check 18:08 Fitness Progress Update 19:07 Chasing 70s and Handicap 21:56 Practice Plans and Positivity 23:01 Injury Update and Home Gym 24:18 Breaking 70 and Birdies 26:36 Stats Review and Season Outlook 29:03 Wrap Up and Next Events Check us out: Follow FairwayFit Golf www.FairwayFitGolf.com Youtube:@FairwayFitGolfPodcast Twitter: @FairwayFitGolf IG: @FairwayFitGolf Tik Tok: @FairwayFitGolf
