Another Nine: A Golf Journey

Jack might have just played the best round of golf of his life… until he didn’t. In this episode, Jack breaks down a round that had everything: confidence, momentum, some of the best golf he’s ever played, and a chance to do something he’s been chasing for a long time. But as the round started to get really interesting, things took a turn. We recap the round, talk about what was working, where it all unraveled, and what Jack can take from it as he continues his journey from a 10 handicap toward a 5.4. Because sometimes the best rounds teach you the most when they don't go according to plan. There’s always another nine.

Jack and Joe are chasing the next level of their golf games. From breaking 80 to reaching single digits, they dive into the goals, struggles, and work it takes to get better—and most importantly—find out who will get there first.

Golf can be a cruel game—and that's exactly why we love it. This week, Jack and Joe's rounds couldn't have been more different. Jack finally finds himself playing freer, caring less, and seeing his scores trend in the right direction, while Joe endures one of the toughest rounds of his life at one of Vermont's premier courses. Together, they unpack the emotional highs and lows that every golfer knows, exploring why the same game can make you feel unstoppable one day and completely humbled the next.

After months of practice, plenty of golf, and a lot of lessons learned, Jack and Joe take an honest look at their games and ask the question every golfer wants answered: Are we actually getting better?

We saved the best for last. In this episode, we break down Sand Hollow Golf Resort, the course that became our favorite stop on the trip and delivered what may be the greatest back nine we've ever played. From jaw-dropping desert views to unforgettable cliffside holes, Sand Hollow gave us a feeling every golfer chases but rarely finds: golf nirvana. Could this be as good as golf gets? Join us as we relive a round we'll never forget.

We went into Coral Canyon with the lowest expectations of the trip. Tucked away in southern Utah and carrying more muni-course vibes than bucket-list buzz, it wasn’t supposed to be a standout. But after 18 holes of fun routing, great conditions, and incredible scenery, Coral Canyon turned into one of the biggest surprises of our golf trip. In this episode, we break down what made it so much better than expected—and why sometimes the courses you know the least about leave the biggest impression.

We thought Wolf Creek Golf Club was going to be the crown jewel of the trip… until we teed it up at Copper Rock Golf Course. From championship-level conditions to unreal desert visuals and some of the purest golf we’ve played all year, Copper Rock completely flipped the script on the trip. This one surprised us in the best possible way.

Wolf Creek is one of the most famous public golf courses in America. Ranked #59 on Golf Digest’s Top 100 Public Courses list, it’s built a reputation as a bucket-list golf experience thanks to its insane visuals and unforgettable desert scenery. So…did it actually live up to the hype? In this episode, we break down our full experience at Wolf Creek — from the jaw-dropping views to the brutal pace of play, disappointing course conditions, and whether a $350 greens fee is really justified. We also debate if Wolf Creek is truly a great golf course… or just a great golf photo. Plus, we give Wolf Creek its official Another Nine rating.

A year of buildup. Four rounds in the desert. What started as an evenly matched Borough Cup slowly turned into something nobody expected. We break down the turning points, momentum swings, biggest moments, and how the final score got so out of hand.

We thought we understood desert golf… until a local pro completely changed our approach. The Borough Cup is finally here—four sessions, two teams, and a weekend that’s been a year in the making. The Barefoot Bombers vs. the Birdie Bros… and depending on who you ask, it’s either a done deal or redemption time. In this episode, we break down the format, the teams, and the matchups that could decide it all. Plus Copper Rock Assistant Pro Chad Mugavero joins us to share how to actually score in desert conditions—altitude, strategy, and where mid-handicappers lose strokes. We’ve also got picks on the record: who carries, who implodes, and who walks away with the Borough Cup. Next time you hear from us… it won’t be a preview anymore.

This week, it’s all about the flatstick. We dive into AimPoint—what it is, how it works, and whether it actually translates for mid-handicappers like us. From first impressions to real on-course results, we’re figuring out if this is the key to fewer three-putts… or just another trend.

Why do we keep coming back to this game? In this episode, we dive into the moments that make golf so addictive—the laughs, the late rounds, the pure shots, and the time spent with great friends. From unforgettable rounds to the simple joy of being out on the course, this one’s all about why we love the game.

Golf isn’t just physical—it’s mental. In this episode, we dive into the thoughts, doubts, and self-talk that can make or break a round. From overthinking simple shots to trying to stay present under pressure, we unpack the internal battles every golfer faces and what we’re learning about managing them. Because the toughest opponent in golf is usually the one in your own head… let's get better at winning the battle we can control. So our next nine can be better than our last nine.

What started as a dream round at Pronghorn quickly turned into a grind. From flushed shots to sudden shanks, we dive into how fast the game can flip and the mental battle of holding it together when your swing disappears. We unpack what went wrong, how it got in our heads, and why golf has a way of humbling you when you least expect it. Because no matter how sideways it goes… there’s always another nine.

The course showed us the problems… now the garage is where we try to fix them. In Episode 3 of Another Nine, we step away from the bucket-list rounds and into the garage grind — the range work, swing thoughts, and late-night sessions trying to actually get better. Because if you want different results on the course, the work has to happen when no one’s watching. This is where the improvement starts.

Chambers Bay didn’t just test our games — it exposed them. After kicking off the journey, we break down the five biggest things that got revealed during the round — from ball striking to course management to the mental side of golf. Some of it we expected. Some of it… not so much. If you’ve ever walked off a course knowing exactly what you need to work on, this one’s for you.

It all starts at Chambers Bay. Two best friends. A bucket-list course. And the beginning of a journey to play every top-100 public golf course in the country. In this first episode of Another Nine, we tee it up at one of the most iconic public tracks in the game — host of the 2015 US Open — and it doesn’t take long for it to humble us. Expectations were high. Reality hit quick. This is where the journey begins.
