When Matt reveals he's hitting his driver better than ever while completely losing his iron game, the others commiserate about the perpetual balancing act that is golf improvement.A spirited debate erupts over wedge selection, with Joe passionately defending his 60-degree wedge despite admitting it only produces magic 1% of the time.

Meanwhile, others have converted to the 58-degree camp, with testimonials pouring in from listeners who've made the switch.The conversation shifts to the addictive world of online golf equipment buying, with confessions about deleting the Whatnot app to prevent further gear accumulation. "It's a marketplace where you can score some shit if you know your shit," Joe explains, before warning listeners, "But don't do it. But if you want to try and buy stuff you can't get anywhere else, do it. But I suggest not doing it."The crew provides a thoughtful analysis of TGL's inaugural season, offering constructive criticism about how to improve the simulator golf league.
