Serious golf. Real life.
Most of us don’t get eight hours a day to practise. I’m documenting what happens when you take golf seriously around work, family and everything else that matters.
The 100-day challenge
One hundred days to find the answer.
I’ve given myself 100 days to find out whether I can
build a plus-handicap game around work, family and
everyday life.
The goal is a plus handicap. But the real test is whether
meaningful ambition can still survive inside a full and ordinary life.

Testing Course Strategy

Does playing conservatively actually lead to better scores?
Or, do I need to take more risks to reach a plus handicap? I play the same holes with two completely different strategies to see which approach wins.
Rebuilding My Chipping Technique

My short game has been one of the biggest obstacles in my pursuit of a plus handicap.
After switching to left-hand-low chipping, I talk through what is improving, what still feels uncomfortable and why I am committing to the change.
About me
Real life. Unfinished ambition.
After playing competitive golf and winning two club championships,
I stepped away from the game for almost a decade.
When I came back, I had one question.
Have I still got it?
In 2025, I worked my way back to scratch.
Now I’m trying to answer a different question.
What happens when you take golf seriously while balancing a full-time
job, family, and everything else?
This is where I document the journey.
