About the show

I started at a 19.3 handicap in August 2020, and we've made a lot of progress! The Goal is Scratch Golf. Join the journey to zero—one stroke at a time! Every week, we'll go over what I did to work on my game. I'll share what my handicap was at the beginning of the week, and then walk you through my round that week. I share what score I needed to improve my handicap, and whether or not I shot that score. We'll talk about what went wrong (usually mental game issues) and what went right. Then I'll tell you what differential is getting knocked out of my last 20 rounds, and what my score did to my handicap. I BUILT this channel for weekend warriors, mid-to-high handicappers, and anyone obsessed with progress. Subscribe and start your own scratch plan today!

Episode 3: I Tried Golf Sidekick's 666 Break 80 System. Here's what happened.

In this episode of I Tried…, I put Golf Sidekick’s famous 666 system to the test. The idea is straightforward: 6 GIRs, 6 up & downs, and no more than 6 over par on the “birthday” holes. But does it actually work when you’re out on the course? I’ll walk you through how I approached my round using the 666 strategy, what decisions it forced me to make, and whether it changed my mindset under pressure. You’ll hear the highs, the slip-ups, and the final scorecard. If you’ve ever wondered whether course management can shave strokes off your game—or if it’s just another golf gimmick—this episode is for you.
