It’s hard to believe we’ve made it to 100 episodes.

What started as two buddies talking golf has grown into something much bigger. Along the way we've played incredible courses, met amazing people, traveled thousands of miles, launched New York Golf & Fitness, and built an unbelievable community of golfers that continues to support us every step of the way.

In this special 100th episode, Mike and Adam look back at the journey so far, discuss the growth of New York Golf & Fitness, talk about the future of Just The Tips, and dive into one of the most important topics in golf:

🏌️ Practice.

Every golfer wants to get better, but improvement doesn't happen by accident. We discuss why dedicated practice, intentional training, and having access to the right environment can dramatically improve your game.

Whether you're trying to break 100, break 90, or simply become a more consistent golfer, this episode is packed with insight, stories, and a look at what we've learned from our own golf journeys.

Most importantly, we want to thank YOU.

Thank you for watching.
