Golf · Breaking 90

The long, filmed road to breaking 90.

Played my fourth-ever round in 2024 and was hopeless. Two years later I broke 90 on camera. Here's the whole journey, hole by hole.

The Journey

From "leave the course questioning your life choices" to an 86.

No shortcuts, no lessons I'm hiding. Just rounds, reps, and a camera running the whole time.

116
2024 · the start
Fourth round of my life, up in Sebastopol. Lost balls in places balls shouldn't go.
108
Getting reps in
Out most weeks. Still spraying it, but the misses got smaller.
101
Knocking on the door
Started believing double-digits over the field was actually possible.
97
First sub-100
Three pars and a 40-foot birdie. The day it clicked that I could do this.
86
March 2026 · Foxtail North
Broke 90 on camera. The driver was on fire and I'll never forget it.
The Series

Breaking 90

I film a full round, post the whole thing, then chop every hole into a short little "come play a hole with an 18 handicap" clip. Season one is in the books, and there's a lot more on the way.

Where I Play

The home tracks

Northern California public golf. I walk and film just about every round.

Home turf.
Home course

Rooster Run

Petaluma. Where most of the rounds (and the breakthroughs) happen.

The 86 lives here.
Most weeks

Foxtail North & South

Where I broke 90. Also where a single hole can still wreck a card.

Almost too pretty.
In the rotation

Peacock Gap

San Rafael. Pretty enough to forgive a bad number or two.

In the bag

Curious what an 18-handicap actually plays?

Takomo irons, the Ping G430 Max, my beloved G25 hybrid, and the camera kit it's all shot on.
