Here For the Memories
Four Idiots and One Trophy
our unlikely golf heroes—armed with questionable sandwiches, mismatched attire, and enough confidence to compensate for their lack of skill—find themselves accidentally competing in a charity golf tournament. When Nate signs the group up without warning, they arrive looking like "the crew that installs your cable, not wins golf trophies." Lyndon sports a "Grip It and Sip It" shirt and Crocs, while Nate's mirrored sunglasses reflect nothing but overconfidence.
What begins as certain humiliation takes an unexpected turn and the magic culminates on the final hole with Lyndon's 15-foot putt for victory. With the simple motivation of "nachos and one of those little trophies," he sinks it with unexpected grace, transforming four friends into accidental champions. Their celebration—as chaotic as their play style—reminds us all about the pure joy of unexpected victories.
This episode invites you to reflect on your own unexpected wins—those moments when success finds you rather than the other way around. When was the last time you experienced the special joy of triumph without expectation? Share your story in the comments or send us a message. We'd love to hear about the trophies you never saw coming.

Here For the Memories
Here for the memories thought-provoking audio memoir shorts filled with stories, humor, anecdotes and commentary on social, cultural, business and religious issues. Whatever Lyndon remembers and thinks will entertain, challenge and inform is a possible subject. The collection of memories about one's life allows for the development and refinement of a sense of self, including who one is, how one has changed and what one might be like in the future.
Speaker 2:Greetings and salutations. This is Lyndon Wolfe and you have fortunately found my audio memoir here for the Mem memories. So glad you joined. Love having visitors, love having company, hope you stay for a while and come back.
Speaker 2:Often I tell stories. Some of them are true, Some of them are not. I have social commentary, religious commentary, business commentary, anecdotes. Just share whatever comes to my mind so that I can leave some kind of record, so that when I depart this planet those few people that love and know me might have something to remember me by. And they wouldn't read a memoir, but maybe they'll listen to these small excerpts.
Speaker 2:Lately I've been on a journey with some fictional characters, semi-fictional characters, four golf stooges Lyndon, nate, alan and Shane, and their misadventures. We've had a couple of episodes so far and the incidents are outrageous and to me hilarious, are outrageous and to me hilarious. So today we're going to continue their journey with a narrative about four idiots and one trophy, how they became accidental champions A sports underdog story, if you will, involving sunscreen sabotage and sandwiches. Well, after surviving rogue wildlife, aquatic club retrievals and emotional scarring from Nate's TikToks, linda and Nate, alan and Shane swore they would keep things simple Just casual weekend rounds, no drama. No forest quests, no beavers. So naturally, nate of course signed them up for a charity golf tournament without telling anyone. Wait what? Shane asked halfway through a breakfast burrito. It's for kids, nate said, beaming with innocence and syrup on his chin. You like kids? I also like a warning before a public humiliation. Alan muttered we're not tournament material. Lyndon said, gesturing to his outfit, which consisted of pajama, pants and Crocs. It's best ball, nate said, which means only one of us has to be good. They all turned slowly to Alan. Alan sighed Fine, I'll carry you degenerates.
Speaker 2:So off to the tournament they went. They arrived looking like a boy band that got lost on the way to a camping trip. Everyone else had coordinated polos and legitimate golf shoes. Lyndon had a shirt that said grip it and sip it. Nate wore mirrored shades that reflected nothing but overconfidence. Their cart was loaded with three golf balls, a cooler, a Bluetooth speaker and at least six questionable sandwiches. Shane said we look like the crew that installs your cable, not wins golf trophies. We're going to install beer, baby. Lyndon proclaimed. Well, off to the first hole. Allen hit a textbook drive. Shane nailed an iron that somehow drew applause. Nate's putt lipped in for a birdie. Everyone blinked. Are we good? Shane whispered nope and said, sipping from a thermos of what definitely was not coffee. We're just due.
Speaker 2:Midway through the round, things got. Things always get weird with these guys, but this was kind of, I think, really weird. Their opponents teamed fairway to heaven. Four retired dentists with matching sun visors started messing with them. One cough during Shane's backswing. Another offered Nate a mint. That was definitely a laxative.
Speaker 2:Lyndon said Gentlemen, I believe we've entered in the petty pro division. Focus and play your game. Alan said I need a bathroom. Nate muttered Somehow it was a turning of the tide. Despite the digestive sabotage and Shane's golf ball accidentally ricocheting off a goose, it lived but is now known locally as Slice. They were unthinkably under bar.
Speaker 2:Lyndon hit a blind shot that bounced off a tree, off a rocket, onto the green. Calculated, he said, lying confidently. Nate made a 40-foot putt after Allen told him it definitely didn't break left. Allen said't break left. Allen said that broke left. Yeah, but I aimed for the parking lot.
Speaker 2:Nate said the boys stood tied for first on the last hole. All they needed was a par. Allen hit a safety shot. Shane chunked a chip. Nate tried.
Speaker 2:Linden walked up to a 15-foot putt for the win. He paused, looked at his friends, looked at the crowd and took a deep breath. Then said if I make this, we get nachos and one of those little trophies, with the guy mid-swing right, correct, allen said. Linden stood over the putt, stroked with confidence, and sunk it with the grace of a man who once used a club to swat at a raccoon. They had won the tournament. Everyone stood in stunned silence. Then someone clapped and then someone else. Shane accidentally knocked over the trophy while trying to high-five three people at once.
Speaker 2:They finally made it to the clubhouse. There, sipping cheap champagne from plastic cups, the foursome basked in their accidental glory. Nate was signing autographs on golf balls like he was famous. Alan had already donated their winnings back to the charity. Shane was flirting with the beverage cart girl using his best line.
Speaker 2:Want to hear about the time I wrestled a beaver for a wedge? Lyndon held up the trophy, smiling Boys, he said never forget. Skill is temporary, but done luck lasts forever. This is linden wolf and you have found here for the memories my audio memoir. So glad you join. I'm curious have you ever won something you didn't expect to, could be even as simple as a door price? Think back. There were times you won something and almost invariably, you never expected to. I won track meets, I won cross-country events, I won speech competitions, I won door prices and, candidly, I expected to win none of those. Oh, but what joy, what ecstasy, what glory was found in that moment of winning. I hope you've had those experiences. Look back, they're probably there, you just haven't thought about them in a while. Look back and remember how you felt when you had that accidental or unexpected win, how you savored the experience in that moment, and maybe savor it now and bask in the glory of what was an unexpected victory, god bless.
