He Played His Best Round With a Broken Ankle — Science Explains Why

He Played His Best Round With a Broken Ankle — Science Explains Why9 Aug41 min

Dr. Fredric Abramson — a man so smart he makes MIT sound like community college — joins John and Jeff to explain how your DNA can predict the golf injuries you’re most likely to suffer. Jeff immediately starts imagining golfers lining up for cheek swabs like it’s the Masters lottery, while John tries to figure out if his bad knee is genetic or just karmic payback.

Abramson breaks down how genetics, nutrition, and even swing mechanics can be mapped to injury risk, and Jeff’s brain goes into full Top‑100‑Teacher overdrive. The guys explore how golfers could play longer, safer, and smarter — even if they still insist on swinging violently at every ball like it owes them money.

It’s science, sarcasm, and golf wisdom all rolled into one episode… plus a GhostBed ad and a reminder that Indiana football apparently exists now.
