(00:01) Golf Season Kickoff and Equipment Upgrades This chapter captures a lively conversation between John Ashton and Jeff Smith as they discuss the start of the new golf season. With temperatures rising, John is excited to hit the golf course for the first time this year, despite not having touched his clubs since November.
