The professional disc golfer opens up about the challenges of balancing fatherhood with his sport, but reveals that vlogging during Vlogmas helped him establish a daily practice routine and even landed him some impressive putting skills. Simon shares his experience of playing with an infant in tow while watching the Vegas coverage, and compares it to the harsh New England weather he was missing. He also discusses his brief stint of putting practice in his basement and makes a humorous comment about myths being true. The conversation touches on his upcoming event at Waco's Texas terrain, where he hopes to focus on laying up shots rather than executing long putts.
