About this episode
GS#991 Summary This week we talk to author Jim Flynn, who shares insights about his humorous approach to golf and writing. Flynn discusses his book 'Hit Your Second Shot First,' which combines a touch of snarkiness and golf humor with practical advice for golfers who appreciate a light-hearted take on the sport. The conversation touches on Flynn's writing journey, his experiences on the golf course, and the mental aspects of the game, including the influence of legendary golfer Ben Hogan. Flynn emphasizes the importance of humor in golf and how it can enhance the playing experience. Jim talks about the importance of investing in golf lessons rather than new equipment, the humorous aspects of slow play, and the delusions many golfers have about their abilities.
