What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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.

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.

Scsteele · Jun 2024

I was turned on to the 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

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!
