Playing 36 holes of golf a day can be physically and mentally challenging, especially when combined with late-night activities. The music we listen to during our formative years often has a lasting impact and shapes our musical preferences throughout our lives. The iterative nature of songwriting allows for constant refinement and improvement of ideas. Golf provides a rich source of inspiration for their music, with humorous and relatable stories. The possibility of turning their music into a stage show opens up new avenues for their artistry.
