Golf

Gimmies

Golf is a walk in the park with a small objective. If gimmies are illegal, why are conceded putts common?

What’s the harm in an unquestioned finish? Does picking up that “unmissable” putt really save much time? There are unspoken social factors at play, but so few people are great at golf. Why not relish a satisfying sound of that golf ball dropping into the tiny cup?

Extra Shot

May your feet stay in the fairway.

There’s no harm in keeping things casual to share time however you want, but tacit assumptions do leave room for misunderstandings. The truth is we all give gimmies to be given a break on putts we might miss ourselves.

When we keep score, see how it feels to play without gimmies. Appreciate the missed putts and count those extra strokes. The unequivocal finish feels good and builds confidence for when gifts aren’t up for grabs.

Trapping Time

Chris Lo is a film maker who captures mesmerizing magic. He’s the camera guy in the pit, behind the DJ, and flying drones at your favorite concerts. Ben and Chris are both Time Trappers who have collaborated in the nightclub and on the golf course, so we had to record this relic. We talk about videography, leveraging A/V equipment, organizing mountains of media, and how to effectively collaborate with artists.

After another reading from the Roasted Reflections library, we hear a crazy story and jam on how full-time creatives can sequence paid gigs with portfolio-building efforts that maintain a runway to stay creative. Let’s get loud.
