Summary

Google defines scratch golf as the skill level of a golfer with a handicap of 0.0, meaning they consistently play at or near par (even par) on any given course, without needing strokes. Shane started a You Tube channel dedicated to documenting his journey to get to a zero handicap index, which has been a lifelong goal. After leaving golf for many years, his son brought him back to the game, and Shane decided its now or never to try and chase this dream. After talking about the meaning of golf to him and his great friend Matt, Shane talked Matt into starting a podcast to compliment the You Tube channel and talk about what this journey really means, to not just him, but to BOTH of them. Join them as they talk about golf in a different light, and chase dreams on and off the course.
