537 Premium: A Professional Baseball Player Takes Up Golf After Retiring and Can’t Believe How Hard

537: Conor
Jackson played Major League Baseball for seven seasons with
Arizona, Oakland, and Boston. But he didn’t take up golf until
after he retired from the Big Leagues. He was lured in by charity
tournaments, discovered how challenging it was and, like many of
us, fell in love. Even with a career .271 batting average, golf
hasn’t come easy for him.

Here's a video
excerpt of today's episode when I asked Conor if it's easy for
baseball players to pick up golf
