#141: Chipping Away - Play Every Round like a Scramble
Hop aboard another chipping away episode, where we go deep on one topic and find learnings you can use to elevate your game. Today we unpack scrambles. We talk through the difference between hitting first vs. 4th, why some people swing freer with 3 teammates while others actually put more pressure on themselves. Most people think scrambles are just fun, but Ev and Cerm outline a lot of practical learnings that can help you when you play your own ball!

We talk about how Dylan can shift his focus and not just shoot low 80s, but break 80 consistently!

Caller 3: Ryan, one of our good buddies, decided to call in and ask about stroke play vs. match play. He finds himself getting tentative in matches, especially on the greens, because he doesn't want to leave himself 5 footers with a hole on the line.
