Episode 7: Thomas O'Donoghue - 15.0 Handicap

In this episode we bring on a Thomas O'Donoghue, proud golf addict and close friend of the pod. Thomas is a 15 handicap who originally picked up golf as a small child, took some time off, and now is back chasing his dream of breaking 80. 

 

We talk about a variety of topics including the live experience at a major, the heat of Pinehurst in September, and what the perfect pre round meal looks like.
