It starts with breaking each hole down into Two Games
Enter the Scoring Zone
Goal: Get inside 100 yards in two shots (par 4), three (par 5), or one (par 3).
If youβre inside 100, you earn a βοΈ.
Keep the ball in play at all costs.
Down in the Scoring Zone
Once in the zone, your job is to get on the green and two-putt.
βοΈ = bogey at worst. And you'll probably make some pars as well.
Think βconservative target, confident swing.β

One of our families best part of the summer was PGA Junior League.
I asked my course super last minute if my 7-year-old could join PGA Junior League and they said yes. Best decision Iβve made in golf as a parent.
The setup is simple: Each course has a team and they compete against other courses in matches. They play in two-person scramble teams for 9 holes with, three-hole matches, and flags to win.
The matches go quickly and everyone stays in a good mood with the scramble format.
Parents walk along, cheer, and actually enjoy it too.
My son looked forward to every match and came out a huge golf fan.

It's goal setting season!! Anyone else get excited about this as I do π Do you set golf goals? Yes! No I should but don't. For me the review of 2025 was the most fun. It was really cool to dive into all the data behind the speed training I've been doing. I broke all that down and exactly what I've learned over the last two years! Let's get into it...

We just finished up one of the coolest projects we've ever done! We ran a proper experiment. We had 7 golfers come test out spike vs spikeless shoes and the results were pretty cool when I crunched the data...
