I was referred to this podcast about a month ago. I just finished season 1. Great content fellas, from the dramatic score readings to the hilarious movie quotes, it’s 100% entertainment. Now for me to fly through the rest of the seasons and get caught up. Let’s go! Let’s go! 😂

Been following from day one. You can now rename the podcast. “Two men in their forties and fooling themselves” Still love the show!

Heading into the turn in Season 2 and nobody but Carl Weathers can stop me from listening; as Apollo Creed, famously shouted, "There is no tomorrow!”

I want to play with these guys. So authentic, funny, and relatable. Just shot my best round ever - an 86. I’ve got a LONG way to go, and it’s been awesome to listen to season 1 while I’m beginning my golf journey.

Just too much Sacho and everytime he is on it just feels like an infomercial. Other than that a great show.

Why haven’t you put the pod into video?

This is possibly the most entertaining podcast I have ever encountered. I stumbled upon it after nearly having my love of golf mutilated by the audiobook version of Hank Haney’s soulless memoir about how Tiger Woods never gave him a popsicle, and the actual humor, emotion, honesty and relatability of the epic quest documented in Mike and Eli’s podcast brought me back to life. I just purchased a signed photo of Carl Weathers on eBay. I have been attempting to rewatch the Marvel movie timeline, but instead am rushing to catch up on this podcast. These are my new Avengers. The most wholesome and authentic entertainment you can find in the golf world.

Love this podcast. Absolutely hysterical. Thanks for making it!!!

Mike and Eli are a blast to listen to. It’s like having a conversation with my best friends about golf. Dramatic readings of scorecards is so much fun. A hysterical podcast of life and golf. Thanks guys for brightening up my days recently. I started listening to the podcast on a drive from Massachusetts to Tennessee and haven’t stopped bingeing since. Great job guys.

I just found your podcast and finished season 1. So I have to tell you I’ve NEVER given a review on anything!!! This is the greatest thing I’ve ever listened to and I used to listen to Howard Stearn and Joe Rogan. I especially love all the movie quotes. What a great first season and an unbelievable final round. Although you failed to get to a zero handicap it was an amazing victory in my opinion. I’d love to hear an added Apollo Creed quote “ you’ll know when it’s over!!” Keep up the great content

When I began this Podcast earlier this year I had found myself trying to break free from a true crime obsession that had become a problem. You know you’re listening to too much true crime when all your podcasts start covering the same gruesome stories and you’re the one who is counted on to explain the gory details of whatever terrible murder is in the headlines. I needed to listen to something ridiculous and lighthearted. This fit the bill but also delivered so much more. When Eli and Mike delve into improving the quality of their overall physical and mental health off the course is where things get really interesting. At some point their golf journey takes a backseat to hearing them find ways to balance “real life” and still find time to enjoy time to themselves doing something they love. If I’m being honest, I secretly hope they never reach scratch because I’m afraid this ride will be over…

My friend told me about your podcast and you were already into season six. I was able to binge listen while traveling on an overseas golf trip. Those on the plane trying to sleep did not appreciate my constant outbursts of laughter (I had headphones). Luv ya guys! LGLG!!

Authentic, funny, and relatable. Mike and Eli are funny and passionate about this golf journey. Truly a couple of guys that would be great on a golf trip. The pod dropping is a highlight of each week.

Started listening and was hooked instantly with the friendly banter between to friends enjoying the game and trying to get better at it. Don’t regret the hours wasted listening

I have enjoyed Chasing Scratch over the years. Fun listen while you’re waiting for golf season to start. Later seasons move a little further away from the mean (visits to Titleist, endorsements, professional coaches). We should all be so lucky. I have enjoyed following Eli’s recovery and the home simulator builds in Season 8. Still a sponge worthy podcast.

Been listening from the beginning and currently in Season 2. Love the talks they have each episode, as the thoughts they have are similar to mine. As someone who is also chasing scratch these episodes help me along the journey!!

It’s invigorating, can’t stop listening.

I recently came across the Chasing Scratch Podcast. I started in season one and have been binge listening over the past few days. I am also done with season one. Really funny podcast. Makes me laugh while I am working or out for a run. Really good podcast about normal guys. Can’t wait to listen to the next few seasons. Also shows how hard golf is and how hard it is to get to scratch. The boys have just gotten below 7 handicaps which is really good. Anyways keep up the great work I appreciate the entertainment.

Loved the first few seasons. Been hard to listen to last few with small gains and lots of talking over golf. Need progress to be made, less talk about learning lessons (for the 10th time) and excuses - it’s season 8. Losing interest.

I was turned on to the pod cast by a coworker who I play Golf with and I must say in less than 4 months I caught up to the latest season. I would warn you though if you are driving while listening you may have to pull over as you will be laughing so hard it will make you cry. I had many occasions of this and that’s what kept me coming back. Mike and Eli are very relatable and I enjoy the fun they have while talking golf and giving us accounts of their own struggles with the game. Keep doing what your doing and LGLG. Jeremiah

Began bingeing the podcast over the summer, routinely listening on drives into work, and quickly moved to squeezing in episodes every chance I got. The entertainment, insight, and humor in the podcast are second to none. Mike and Eli have inspired me to chase scratch, and I’ve learned how to integrate golf balls, installed my own Carl Weathers learning center (RIP), and lowered my handicap from 9.1 to 5.0 since starting the show. Keep on keeping on, Cmon Rick, LGLG.

only just discovered this pod, but these guys feel like they could be part of my group. funny. human. spot on. as a 60 year old carrying a 23, they give me hope… #chasing10

Mike and Eli have a relationship that keep you in stitches every episode. I was introduced to the podcast from a golf buddy of mine and after episode 1 I knew I was hooked. Keep up the work boys, I now have added “Come on Rick!” at my hip pocket of golf phrases!

I have made it to season 6. These guys kinda mirror my life. I’m 34 wife and kids and I try very hard to play as much golf as possible. I started listening last season and I to tried to make the same decision they did and become scratch. I have dropped my hdcp to 4 from 12. I use a lot of the apps they talk about and looked into some of their coaches lessons on YouTube

Thanks to Mike & Eli my golf game has not improved at all. However based on the last two seasons I am now a fellow in Orthopedic Surgery. At least in my mind. I’ve heard enough medical episodes (hip, back, wrist, and bubonic plague) that I may very well be the best fake doctor ever. Breaking news, you are getting old! We have heard about all the injuries, all the sleep issues. I’m certain the new season will detail how many times a night you are getting up to pee. I can’t wait to listen, keep up the great work. LG LG

I stopped following your podcast in about year 3 because there was not enough about actually playing golf. Checked in again in season 7. It’s even worse.

I listened to this pod for quite some time and feel it is quite possibly the greatest out there. Over the past year my son has come to love golf as much as his old man. I introduced him to the pod earlier in season 7 and he calls me while I’m on a cruise with the wife for our 20th anniversary. Dad, he says-I have binged all the seasons of Chasing Scratch and I love it. Now as season 7 comes to an end we have another great golfing experience to share together. Thanks and looking forward to season 8.

Daily Diary of 2 middle aged men

So I’m finishing up season 3 and I’m dying. Yes the phrase peppered is a correct saying but I only remember it from pitching baseball. 2nd. I’m a vet and dealing with some medical issues that make it hard to swing the clubs normally. For a number of years I have adopted a form of Moe Norman’s swing that I taught myself. I’m 54 and getting my hip replaced and hope to get my rehab through a TPI rehab/physical therapy. Irons I swing normally. Lastly. Do you have a word or phrase for lip outs. Soup natzi no soup for you.

Absolutely a show for all the “regular guy” golfer. Your “Chase” inspires me to simply play my best, and yet remember I am 42… with a family. Such a fun show and great game!

First 2 seasons were awesome (5 stars!) as it did feel like 2 guys trying to accomplish a cool goal together. The seasons after felt like they morphed into sponsorship, product placement, and goofy pop culture discussions instead of golf. Season 7 Episode 24 basically starts with 10 mins of ads.

Golf

Love this show. I’m always smiling and laughing when I listen to it. It’s the adult version of my son’s dude perfect videos. These guys are great!

I started listening to this podcast just a few months ago. Am finally all caught up. GREAT content. Keeps you wanting more. But now I’m having hip issues myself. Thanks a lot guys🤣😂🤣😂

Chasing Scratch is the pinnacle of golf podcasts. MotorTrend, J.D. Power and Associates, and Consumer Reports have given the show multiple awards. There are rumblings thar the show could receive a 3rd Michelin star. 5 out of 5 Dentists recommend Chasing Scratch. Rotten Tomatoes Certified 100% Fresh.

Entertaining and keeps you wanting to listen to the next episode to see what’s going to/ happening

A buddy of mine told me to give the pod a try. Just started season 1 and absolutely love it. Working on my game as well and great to hear your insights and thoughts as you go through it as well.

I just finished season one. I am 36 years old. I am a 12 hcp, and I am obsessing about getting better. Beyond that I am from Lexington like Eli. I can’t believe I hadn’t listened before now. The first season played out like a great golf movie. Excellent podcast, guys. Looking forward to season two and beyond.

Mike and Eli do an amazing job talking golf and the struggles we all go through.

I’ve never been able to stick with a podcast but I’ve been through the first 4 seasons and not slowing down. It’s been awesome. Laughed so much. Enjoying all the different people Mike and Eli bring on to help the everyday golfer improve. Plus I love playing River Bend in Shelby.

Just started this and these guys are awesome!!! Let’s Go Rick!!!! Cheers!

How is it 2024 and I have just found this channel? The only good thing about being late to the party is the non stop binge. Through season 2 and 1000% bought in merch is on the way I am now a follower of Adam Way I have pledge to hammer thy nail. Ohh it’s so good I’m rooting for and against you guys. Don’t want the train to stop. Thank you for the million laughs and unbridled optimism. Yours truly a 23 HC LGLG

Just found this podcast a week ago and almost through season one. It’s like my buddy and I started our own podcast to discuss our fragile mental states.

Listened to season 1 and laughed out loud on multiple occasions. The mental struggles are real and I relate to you both! Great work and keep swinging!

I listen to very few podcasts and rarely find people on a podcast that I strongly identify with. As a middle aged single digit hack at golf, I completely identify with these guys and their lives. They talk like golfers and think like golfers. I play golf with lots of people who occasionally play golf but my club has about 75-100 guys that are really golfers which is very different from playing sometimes. We LOVE golf and recognize how far even the best of us are from pro golfers. A PGA tour player’s father is a member of our club and his PGA tour son plays here occasionally and it is confirmed that he plays a different game than the rest of us, even the best of us. These guys get it and understand exactly what our game demands and how golfers feel about it. There are golfers who carry a 20 handicap and golfers that carry a +5 handicap but really golfers are different than those who just play golf. If you’re really a golfer, give this podcast a listen, you’ll love it.

I came across Season 1 and started listening. I can’t put it down. You two guys are great together. I’m so glad there are 7 seasons to listen to. I’m going to Ireland in July on a lifelong bucket list trip, and you will be with me crossing the pond. I’m just getting started with season two and love every minute of it. Keep’em coming.

I just finished season 1 and I absolutely loved it. I have not looked you up on social media because I did want to have anything spoiled for me. 🤣🤣 Can not wait to jump into season 2 😄

Mike and Eli have been given more time and resources to become better golfers and they mascarade around with single digit handicaps yet Mike shoots 99-102 in a real tournament. These guys are entertaining but 15 real world handicaps at best.

I had this bright idea to move an hour away from work and needed something to pass the time by. I found this podcast and have been hooked since. I’m on season 3 episode 2 and it’s been the most entertaining podcast I’ve listened to in a long time. I started golfing 2 years ago with an insane idea that I would be able to get to scratch in 5 years. This pod has made me think it’s possible. I’m in my late 20s (okay I’m turning 30 in 2 months.. whatever 😂), a super supportive fiancé and all the time in the world and sitting at a 23hcp. I feel like I’m just listing to the bros having a great time and it’s just getting better and better. Without being too long winded keep up the great work. I can’t wait to catch up and see the growth. Not sure if you still do shoutouts for the reviews but I guess I’ll find out in 2 weeks when I listen to the next 4 seasons 😂. Thank you both for being yourselves. Kudos to you.. and Kudos to Craigers.

How good can a podcast be. Mmmmmmmmmmmm as good as a McGriddle. That’s how good. Mmmmmmmm.
