In this first episode of 2025, Stacey and Slade share their golf-related resolutions and plans for the year ahead. Stacey kicks things off by revealing her goal to overhaul her putting, admitting that despite years of playing golf, she lacks a consistent approach. She plans to take lessons and build a solid routine, emphasizing the impact putting has on her scores, even with some grief from Slade.
Slade shares his own resolution, which involves tracking detailed golf statistics to identify areas where he can improve. He plans to use a spreadsheet to log key metrics such as greens hit, fairways, and three-putts, with the hope of finding the easiest area to enhance. While unconventional for someone who usually plays by feel, Slade is excited to take a data-driven approach to his game.
The couple also discusses their 2025 plans, which include significant changes due to their home course closing for greens renovation. Stacey suggests local golf adventures, and they aim to play 25 different courses in the Charlotte, NC, area. Slade lobs the idea of renting an RV for future golf road trips, but Stacey explains why that would be more expensive that he thinks.
Other highlights include Stacey’s upcoming custom golf club fitting—her first—and reflections on playing golf with her 82-year-old father. She cherishes the experience, especially since she beat him by one stroke, and reflects on the joy of family golf. Slade adds his admiration for her father’s continued skill and passion for the game - and maybe a little jealousy too.
