Breaking 80 over 50 Trailer

Frank recounts an historically bad weather week in South Florida that brought with it flooding and closed most of the area golf courses. Luckily, Oriole reopened just in time for weekend rounds of golf. Which brings a little bit of everything. Frank wonders out loud about why he compounds mistakes on some holes and just can't seem to save bogey. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the birdies were flowing over the weekend. He takes some time to consider the need for a new golf back as well as considering when it's time to buy new clubs. The trips to the local Edwin Watts to fix clubs after the heads fly off are becoming more and more frequent.I would love to hear from you, email me at: [email protected] Music Provided by Epidemic Sound

Three weeks into the toe injury, Frank is still taking it easy and consuming a little more YouTube Golf content. He talks about what he is enjoying along with some exciting things that will release soon. Then it's out to the course for a round with some really good golf and some really bad golf which unveils a golf super power!I would love to hear from you, email me at: [email protected] music provided by Epidemic SoundCheck out Grant and the Bryan Bros Major Cut: https://youtu.be/0cKuWsRbhzc?si=g52ezcsItwKUBdg0Trailer for Bill Murray - A Course Called Ireland: https://youtu.be/BNNPMNxHanE?si=Q9uu-PuG0uNNWYPK

Putting Tech Impact & Takeaways: The episode ties the indoor practice to on-course performance, exploring how PUTTR’s feedback changed the host’s focus from merely holing putts to seeking center-cut pace and precision. Early metrics reveal specific weaknesses—right-to-left breaking putts and longer putt conversion—and immediate engagement through games and leagues. While acknowledging cost and a limited early sample size, he believes the device will translate to fewer strokes in rounds and plans a full follow-up review after more practice and video analysis. Then Frank hatches a plan to get back out on the course while still nursing a broken toe for an eventful round of golf.Don't be a stranger

This week Frank was hoping to be podcasting from Pinehurst North Carolina but the Golf Gods intervened with different plans. If the golf shoe doesn't fit...acquit? No, that's not it. Unable to get out on to the course, it's time to find creative ways to work on the golf game indoors. Tune in to find out how that is going to happen.I read and respond to every email, don't be a stranger: [email protected] music provided by Epidemic Sound.

In this episode host Frank interviews Bob Lobby, an engineer and entrepreneur who turned lag putting into a quantitative science. Bob explains how he developed Putting by the Numbers over 25 years: using the Stimp meter concept, measuring green, fringe and fairway friction, and calculating an Individual Power Factor (IPF) — how far a ball travels per inch of putter retraction for each player. He walks through practical routines for measuring surfaces before a round, practicing at home on carpet, and using simple arithmetic to eliminate three-putts. The method builds confidence and consistency without slowing play.

This episode covers a rainy South Florida weekend where two very different rounds produced identical scores: back-to-back 86s. The host breaks down key holes, bad decisions (including a memorable triple after trying an impossible bank shot), and redeeming moments like clutch chips and great bunker play. He reflects on improved mental resilience — laughing off mistakes instead of folding — and how small process changes (commitment to get chips to the hole) produced better outcomes. Also: a surprising shoe find saved the day and turned a soggy round into an enjoyable outing.I would love to hear from you.

Frank recounts two very different rounds that both finished at 88 and reflects on what makes golf special beyond the score. He breaks down his recent play — driver inconsistencies, better wedge distances, and frustrating putting that repeatedly lipped out — while noting course conditions after heavy South Florida rain. More importantly, he shares how golf builds community: the morning camaraderie, shared struggles, and support when life gets heavy. Through stories about friends coping with 9/11 memories and the loss of a beloved dog, Frank shows how the course becomes a refuge and a way to connect.
