Hardy, and The Realization Of Forever Losing Your Former Self
Songwriting stud and country music star Hardy (39:06) joins the show.

Before Hardy joins, the crew delves into superstitions and the idea of unluckiness (opening an umbrella inside, walking under a ladder) affecting both golf and real life!You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
