In a recent episode, Lou proposed that Mark should try to qualify for one of the main senior tours. In this episode, Greg re-joins the podcast to give a truly professional opinion on Mark's chances of success. They talk about the amount of commitment required, Mark's psychological approach to the task, and whether Lou is ready to stop trying to take Greg's bag from Doug so that he can caddie for Mark.
