## Resource

Alright Par Pals 👋 TP has come to a difficult realisation: he's been vanity handicapping. After clinging on to a five for far too long, his handicap has crept back up to nine and he's never been happier about it. We get into why the handicap has so much power over us and why letting go might actually be the answer. We've also somehow been LONGLISTED for a British Podcast Award (up against Peter Crouch, who has never done admin in the middle of an episode) 🏆, we've got a genuinely brilliant Toast or Roast with our friends at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠England Golf⁠⁠ from Leon , and Tom Green recommends an app that'll change your lads trips forever. Plus, we're off to Birkdale on Thursday for the Open. Come say hi if you spot a ping cap. 🧢 All this and more coming up on this week’s episode of Golf Is Ruining My Life. See you Thursday!
