#53: The Bumbling Golfer back again!

TJ and Gary welcome back recurring guest John Kelly, also known as The Bumbling Golfer. John shares his appreciation for the podcast, emphasizing that it delivers valuable golf-related content, unlike some other golf podcasts that stray off-topic. John reflects on his personal golf journey, discussing his significant improvement over the past year lowering his handicap. He attributes this progress to consistent practice, especially in his short game, and the support of his golf community at Scramble House. He also opens up about the challenges he faced in 2023, including losing his job and the passing of his mother. These hardships pushed him to pursue his passions more fully, with exciting plans lined up for 2025. He credits his wife’s unwavering support for keeping him motivated. The conversation shifts to the Scramble House, a golf facility that John is heavily involved with. The hosts express their excitement about a new location opening in Rochester, which will provide a much-needed indoor golf space in their region. They discuss the struggle of practicing during the off-season and the lack of high-quality indoor golf options nearby. Beyond golf, the discussion veers into other sports, including baseball, basketball, and the NBA. John, a Philadelphia sports fan, talks about the Phillies' playoff struggles, his excitement for the upcoming baseball season, and his newfound interest in college basketball due to his daughters attending Saint Joseph’s University. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC494q0frpY7hnZ--n2KFBMQ https://www.instagram.com/thebumblinggolfer/ Send us a message and let us know what you thought about this episode!
