I had the opportunity to play Golden Horseshoe's Gold course with the guys from Anything But Par. They're a VSGA social club from the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area who are absolutely great guys and in love with the game. I tried to adopt a different mindset heading into the round and lay that out on the trip down and then sort through my feelings on the round on the way back home.

Hi. I’m Matt. And welcome to my podcast called Closet Mid-Am. I'm fascinated by the life of mid-am golfers, especially those golfers who play great and still balance a full-time job, family, hobbies and more. And I wonder if in their work lives their co-workers really appreciate how good and committed to the game these guys and girls really are. I've been there. I've worked in jobs where people had no idea I was a golfer and at the same time, I wonder who we as golfers are working alongside that we have no idea what else they're committed to or interested in. I'm hoping to explore some of that in this show by talking with golfers in Virginia and beyond about their games, their lives and their work.
