Fore! Or is it "Sixteen"? Either way, watch out for flying golf balls. In this episode, Bob (aka Average Boy) takes us to his youth group golf tournament. While Jesse keeps things "on par" with some silly puns, Bob shares how a day at the links—and several trips into the woods—taught him a huge lesson about pride. From catching armadillos to diving into ponds for extra golf balls (28 of them, to be exact!), Bob’s golfing strategy might be a little "below average," but his heart is in the right place. We also tackle a tough question from a listener about how to keep your cool and show self-control when siblings start pushing your buttons.   Click here to see the new Average Boy book title and cover!   Click here to visit the Average Boy Store to gain access to books, devotionals, subscriptions to Clubhouse Magazine, and much more!   We'd love to hear from you!
