(00:00) Golf Distance and Self-Perception This chapter explores the nuances of golf distances and perceptions among golfers of various ages and skill levels. I discuss the average distance a golfer hits a seven iron, noting that it is often cited as 138 yards, but recognizing that this average can be misleading due to the broad range of golfer ages and abilities. Jeff Smith and I share our personal distances, with Jeff hitting his seven iron further than the average due to both his skill level and the elevation where he plays. We also humorously address exaggerated distance claims made by some senior golfers, highlighting how golfers often remember their best shots as their standard. Lastly, I recall attending Fuzzy Zoeller's Wolf Challenge, where I observed a variety of celebrity participants, underscoring the diversity and appeal of golf events. (11:00) Honesty in Golf This chapter touches on the themes of honesty and sportsmanship in golf. We start by addressing the famous movie quotes often misattributed, clarifying that "A man's got to know his limitations" is actually from "Magnum Force," not "Cool Hand Luke," which features "What we have here is a failure to communicate." Shifting to golf, we stress the importance of honesty about one's abilities on the course, emphasizing how inflated claims about driving distance are unimpressive. We share stories of golfing scrambles and the notorious cheating that often occurs, humorously recounting a scramble in Louisville where the police team won with an unbelievable score. We also explore the concept of "sandbagging" in golf—where players misrepresent their abilities, either to gain an advantage or to boost their ego—and question the motivations behind such behavior. (23:28) Golf Handicap Misconceptions This chapter explores the intricacies of the golf handicap system and its purpose as a representation of a golfer's potential. We break down common misconceptions, such as the belief that a handicap is a direct reflection of one's average score, and clarify how it actually accounts for a player's best potential performance. By analyzing a golfer's last 20 scores in relation to course and slope ratings, the system offers a fair way to compete across different levels of difficulty. We discuss how this system allows for fair competition, even against top players like Tiger Woods, by adjusting scores based on the course's challenges. We also touch on the issues of dishonesty in reporting scores and how that affects the perception of one's skill level. Ultimately, we emphasize the system's role in leveling the playing field and fostering fair competition, while acknowledging that not everyone reports their scores truthfully. (34:21) Improving Your Golf Game This chapter transports us to the beautiful mountains of Arizona, where we discuss the striking landscape surrounding the golf course and reminisce about the journey from cornfields to mountain vistas. We reflect on an intriguing story about Reggie Brooks, a former Notre Dame running back who scored a touchdown while unconscious, highlighting the unpredictable nature of sports. Shifting gears, we address the common reluctance among athletes to take golf lessons, despite their lifelong experience with coaching in other sports. We ponder why professional athletes, who understand the value of coaching, often shy away from lessons in golf, and emphasize the importance of seeking guidance to improve one's game. I share my personal experience of mastering the "hinge and thump" technique, illustrating the power of simplifying golf. Finally, we caution against emulating professional golfers without proper practice, stressing the need to approach the game in a way that suits one's own level and abilities.

Rapid Fire topics include: * ESPN's FPI gives Notre Dame the best chance of any team in the country to go undefeated this season. Which do you think is most likely to happen: The Irish go 12-0 or they go 10-2? * There's some debate on the Irish Breakdown Champions Lounge about this: Which is the better Notre Dame run play: Kyren Williams in 2021 vs North Carolina or Reggie Brooks in 1992 vs Michigan? * Fill-in the blank...It's BLANK that in my interview with Notre Dame All-American point guard Hannah Hidalgo, she told me she never talked to UConn head coach Geno Auriemma during her recruiting process. * Fox NFL analyst Greg Olsen says NFL announcers would have an easier time calling NBA games than vice versa, because of the pace of basketball and the accessibility of the sport. In an interview on Pardon My Take, Olsen said the constant stop and start of football forces broadcasters to fill more airtime and have something real to say before and after every play. While basketball is just as complex as a sport, Olsen argued he and other NFL announcers could fake their way through the small pockets of a basketball broadcast more easily. Buy or Sell Olsen's take? * Fill-in the blank...The NFL is going to the XFL kickoff rule this season and the fact that Baltimore Ravins kicker Justin Tucker says he's tried to bulk up because he says kickers are involved in around 25% of the tackles is BLANK. * Joey Chestnut will not be allowed to participate in the Fourth of July Nathan's Famous hot dog eating contest because he is endorsing a different hot dog brand. It's actually a plant-based hot dog made by Impossible Foods, which is a competitor to Nathan's. Will the exclusion of the eight-time reigning champion make you more likely or less likely to watch next month's contest?  Shop for Irish Breakdown gear at our online store: https://ibstore.irishbreakdown.com/  Join the Irish Breakdown premium message board: https://boards.irishbreakdown.com  Stay locked into Irish Breakdown for all the latest news and analysis about Notre Dame: https://www.irishbreakdown.com​ Subscribe to the Irish Breakdown podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/irish-breakdown/id1485286986 Like and follow Irish Breakdown on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/irishbreakdown Sign up for the FREE Irish Breakdown daily newsletter: https://www.subscribepage.com/irish-breakdown-newsletter Learn more about your ad choices.
