Psychedelics, Mind Games, and Letters to Bill Murray with Darren Schwartz
On this week's episode of the Bag Drop: Untold Stories in golf, we ask the hard questions, like, is time real? What is the cultural impact of films like Top Gun: Maverick? Who is Mort Sherman? Matt and the Professor welcome renowned storyteller and lesser-known golfer Darren Schwartz to the show. Among many topics, the trio highlights the importance of mentorship in golf, business, and in life before shifting to the dynamics of winning, where players balance supporting their opponents while striving for victory, and the temptations of psychological warfare on the course. Darren shares some excerpts from his memoir, examining personal growth and experiences with ayahuasca. They discuss public speaking, caddies' roles, and share anecdotes relating to mental health and the performance of each. The dialogue is infused with humor and relatable to both golf enthusiasts and those seeking personal development. Matt and Darren wrap up by reflecting on memorable golf moments, including a heartfelt letter to Bill Murray, the significance of Jim Nantz's sultry voice in April, and non-essential golf gear that's just fun to have in the bag. The conversation concludes by reflecting on how golf mirrors life's challenges and joys, emphasizing its psychological examinations as one of the game's unique and great strengths.
