Golf has spent centuries turning the simple act of hitting a ball into a surprisingly complicated sport. This episode explores the history of golf, how the modern game developed, the basics of clubs and scoring, and why terms like birdie, bogey, eagle, and bunker became part of its wonderfully strange vocabulary. Along the way, you’ll learn about golf course design, different types of shots, famous competitions, and how generations of players became obsessed with getting a tiny white ball into an even tinier hole using as few swings as possible.
It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
