#63: Hack to Scratch in 3 years
Steve Dinino (stevedininogolf.com) isn’t your everyday PGA Teaching Professional. He didn’t play golf growing up. He never intended to work in the industry, let alone work alongside Tiger Woods’ coach Sean Foley and Golf Channel’s Teacher Martin Hall. But from the day he decided to pick up his first club, it only took 3 years to master the game and become a scratch player -- something most of us don’t achieve in a lifetime. We dig into how Steve essentially achieved the impossible in a way that can help all of you do the same.

#58: Chipping Away - Overcoming Fear
The Train Crew unpacks another popular topic, fear. A lot of us play golf similar to how we live. We can be scared to embarrass ourselves in front of others. We think we're not good enough. We're worried to make a big mistake. This episode is another installment of the popular Chipping Away mini series where the boys really dig into why we're all so damn scared all the time and how we can learn to break out of this vicious cycle.
Note: We encountered a couple sound issues on this one. Hopefully, you're willing to trade fearless living for a couple echos <3
