Long-time listener and 1.9 handicapper John hops aboard the Train to share one of the most unforgettable stories in this podcast's 8+ year history. Matched up with another Par Train listener he’d never met, John started his round with sky-high hopes — only to card a 10 on the second hole, one he usually birdies. Defeated and ready to mentally check out, John’s playing partner said something that completely changed the course of the day. What followed turned a nightmare hole into a round they'll remember forever. If you’ve ever made a big number and felt like your day was over — this one’s for you. Ev had been lying to himself for 25 years thinking he needing to spend over $25,000 on a home simulator. Instead, he bought a net and a mat for $250 off amazon with the new Rapsodo MLM2PRO launch monitor for $699 and he's been BLOWN AWAY.
