S2 Ep 17: The Second End

Eli's Journey

Eli Strait's golfing journey this season was marked by both triumphs and setbacks. He humorously recounts his high point as meeting a fellow golfer, Craig, at Tobacco Road, while his low points included missing a crucial putt and losing the final major 1. The season's start was equally challenging, with Eli being mistaken for a senior citizen and both he and Mike Shade struggling on the course 2. Despite these hurdles, Eli maintains a lighthearted perspective, reflecting on the unpredictable nature of their golfing adventures.

Would you rather be feared or loved? I think it's both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.

--- Eli Strait

This blend of humor and humility defines Eli's approach to the game, making each round an opportunity for growth and camaraderie.

   

Season Reflections

Reflecting on the season, Mike Shade and Eli Strait acknowledge that their golfing journey has reached a peak, with every subsequent round feeling like a letdown 3. However, the introduction of a golf simulator brings renewed excitement and hope for improvement in the next season 4. This technological addition symbolizes a fresh start, as they both believe that their best golfing days are still ahead.

We are two guys in our late 30s who both believe it's going to happen next year in season three.

--- Eli Strait

The lessons learned from this season, coupled with their unwavering optimism, set the stage for a promising future in their pursuit of golfing excellence.
