1. At The Turn - Golf Podcast turns into a combined Happy Gilmore 2 review and break-80 golf update with Joe Simons and Nick Heidelberger. 2. Joe Simons and Nick Heidelberger host the show, and their golf handicaps and movie reactions drive the segment. 3. The episode asks whether a month of focused golf work can produce lower scores and whether Happy Gilmore 2 works as a sequel. 4. Joe opens with a 78 at Wildwood, then an 83 at Rose City, and says his handicap still moved to 8.4 after his two lowest rounds dropped off. 5. He also describes Gresham Golf Course as his new favorite in the Portland Metro area and says he shot 76 there in less than four hours. 6. Nick revisits his July break-80 attempt, including an 83 that matched his career low and a final round that began with an eight on the first hole. 7. Nick says that round included nine shanks and five penalty strokes on the front nine before he steadied to a 41 on the back. 8. His handicap fell to 16.7, and he says he took 1.4 strokes off his index in July. 9. Both hosts describe the month as a focused experiment in practice, scoring, and trying to reach a specific golf goal. 10. Joe says the experiment showed that he can still play well when he gets consistent time on the course. 11. Nick says his up-and-down percentage went from 29% to 47% after spending more time on the practice green. 12. Nick also says the month showed why this kind of grind is hard to sustain with kids, travel, and other work. 13. Joe compares the effort to trying to solve golf during a short window while balancing family, work, and other obligations. 14. The movie discussion starts with both hosts saying they watched Happy Gilmore 2 after paying for Netflix or returning to Netflix content. 15. Joe gives the movie 4 out of 5 and Nick gives it 2.5 out of 5, which they average into a middling reaction. 16. They discuss Virginia’s death from Happy’s tee shot, the $75,000 ballet tuition, and John Daly telling Happy to go back on tour for money. 17. They argue about the movie’s nostalgia choices, including clips from the first Happy Gilmore and Ben Stiller’s limited screen time as Hal. 18. They also debate the finale’s live-tour parody, the player cameos, and the over-the-top golf holes, while agreeing Scottie Scheffler and Fred Couples stand out. 19. Fans of golf handicaps, scoring streaks, and movie talk will get the most out of this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a serious film analysis or no golf score talk may skip it.
