Steven wants an angry golf instructor to yell at him like a wrestling coach. David shares his lesson experiences - from terrible virtual sessions to finding the right in-person instructor - and explains why Steven's limiting himself to 9 holes is disappointing.

What we discuss:

• Steven's executive course commitment and why 18 holes sounds "exhausting"
• David's disappointment as golf ambassador - did he oversell the difficulty?
• Steven's request for an abusive golf instructor (spoiler: that's not how it works)
• David's three instructor experiences: two virtual disasters, one great in-person
• How to find the right instructor: look for awards, competition experience
• Red flags: virtual lessons, green flags: instructor of the year accolades
• The importance of documenting lessons and practicing between sessions
• AI coaching potential vs. human interaction preferences
• Steven's economics approach: maximizing equilibrium of golf joy at 9 holes

Key moments:

• Steven interpreting David's 18-hole advice as "just stick to 9 forever"
• The wrestling coach golf instructor fantasy gets shut down immediately
• David's virtual lesson instructor who bragged about being too busy to help
• Steven's business professor approach to "optimal level of enjoyment"
• David having to cut the episode short with a "hard out"

Bottom line: Good lessons require the right instructor match - look for credentials, avoid virtual sessions, document everything, and practice what you learn. Also, don't let honest expectations about 18 holes scare you away from the full golf experience.
