In this episode we recap the year, and we get ready for golf hibernation. The season is over, the rain is coming and for most of us - this is the end of our golf season. We share highlights from our favorite moments on the show including top golf interviews, the best dad tips, and what we have learned exactly over the past year on this show. Golf is a tricky game - you can play the same course day after day and see new challenges, new failures, and new ways to win. Parenting is the same. Take it one day at a time, one moment at a time and you will be alright. Enjoy the episode looking back over the past 12 months with the Birdie Dads!

In this episode we highlight my recent golf tournament and we share tips for winterizing your golf game. First, I played in an individual net golf tournament - where you receive 90% of your golf handicap but follow 100% of the rules. No team, no skins, just individual golf. There was some good - and a lot of bad in my game. Next, Bryan and Trebor share their upcoming golf tournaments and it brings us to the question: How do you winterize your golf game? Do you pack it up and shut it down, or do you keep it going? Finally, we talk about what it's like to play in a gross golf tournament from the tips - what would you score?

Second, what is the secret to enjoying golf? We have it solved. Hang with us to hear what will change everything - and hint...it's not your swing.

First, we discuss Simone Biles exit from multiple Olympic events due to a mental issue. As parents, we look to protect our kids.

Golf question time! We answer how to break 80 in golf. Just what are the secrets behind the scorecard? Also in this episode...The Match Part IV - Phil Mickelson / Tom Brady vs. Bryson DeChambeau / Aaron Rodgers. Our thoughts and quick bites on the match. Also this week - we received over 700 comments on Reddit to help us make https://www.birdiedads.com/39-golfers-gave-us-the-best-golf-tips-they-ever-received/ (39 pieces of the best golf advice you will ever receive. ) How to Break 80 in GolfWe aren't professional golfers at Birdie Dads. In fact, our motto is to never fear the quad bogey. We live on the course free and fun - but occasionally we put low scores on the card. This week Trebor posted his third round under 80, and earlier this golf season Bryan posted his career first 79. What is the secret to breaking 80 in golf? It turns out - there is a recipe. That recipe includes: No blowup holes Be in position to make pars. You need to get up and down more than once. You don’t need to par every hole Play appropriate tees The secret sauce if your approach shot. Keep the focus but don’t overdo it You never talk to a pitcher during a no-hitter, do you talk to a golfer shooting sub-40 in a round? We aren't really sure. Did you see our video highlighting https://youtu.be/e1n0FB_kvIg (Snoqualmie Ridge Golf Course)? It's pretty epic - especially the hole to carry that ravine. Seriously, crazy. The Match 4: Phil vs. BrysonI personally LOVED the match this time around. The competition was better than recent celebrity boxing matches (wink wink) and the course at Moonlight Basin was spectacular. I was so blown away with the course (and the 711 yard par 5) I had to google where it was (Big Sky, Montana) and the elevation (7500 feet). Here were some of our quick takeaways: The mic'd up players 100% of the time was fabulous Watching Phil and Bryson explain shots and putts shows how detailed they are in the game. Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady ripping shots into the weeds made me feel pretty good. Charles Barkley was hilarious as usual. The overt commercials for Wheels Up and celebrity/athlete cameos was annoying. Bryson's demeanor was on point and lived up to the hype. Aaron Rodgers can putt.
