DeepSummary
The episode begins with Lenny and Eli promoting an upcoming golf tournament called 'Swings for Soldiers' organized by their friend Jason Nickel. They then discuss Eli's recent golf lesson with Larry, where he was advised to start playing a fade instead of his traditional draw shot. Eli shares the drills he worked on to develop a more consistent fade.
Lenny recounts his recent round at The Cardinal, where he shot one-under on the front nine, but struggled on the back nine. They analyze his Strokes Gained statistics and Lenny's realization of the importance of staying present in the moment.
The episode features an interview with Matt Myers, their fitness and nutrition coach from Nerd Fitness. Matt provides insights into Eli's and Lenny's progress over the past 90 days, discussing their individual strengths, weaknesses, and strategies for improvement. They explore concepts like finding meaningful goals, zooming in and out, and the importance of consistent engagement in the coaching process.
