Aiming for Fairways, Navigating the Rough

Not a pro. Not (quite) a beginner. Just a golfer with a spreadsheet, a pre-shot routine, and a tendency to overshare the mishits—hoping others can laugh, learn, or at least feel seen.

Teeing Off

A swing in progress—just like the blog. This is Playing Through.

Why I’m Writing (Instead of Just Swinging)

Because improvement isn’t just physical—it’s mental, messy, and way more fun when you document it.

To Track the Progress (and the Pitfalls)

I use this blog to log rounds, routines, recurring mistakes and reality checks —because improvement takes evidence, not just optimism.

To Make Sense of All the Swing Thoughts

Writing helps me break information down and focus on what matters—so I can practice with clarity instead of chasing every tip.

To Navigate the Rough with Others

I turned my notes into posts to connect with other golfers like me—looking for honest advice, real talk, and fewer swing tips in all caps promising miracles.

What You’ll Find Here

Practice Strategies, but Make It Organized (Sort Of)

A mix of range notes, swing breakdowns, and the occasional overanalysis—organized for golfers who like a plan (and a laugh).

These aren’t just scorecards—they’re stories. I recap my league rounds, practice outings, and everything in between, sharing what worked, what didn’t, and what I probably won’t try again (but might). Expect stats, honest assessments, and the occasional win worth bragging about.

From backyard short game stations to structured range sessions, these are the drills and routines I actually use to build consistency. You’ll find step-by-step guides, equipment tips, and templates to help you structure your own practice—no coach required.

Breaking down the golf swing in a way that doesn’t make your brain hurt. Each post tackles one phase, one setup fundamental, or one common struggle—complete with illustrations, drills, and real-world adjustments I’ve made along the way.

This isn’t just fitness—it’s training that supports your swing. I share strength circuits, mobility flows, and injury-prevention exercises built around the needs of everyday golfers. All gym-friendly, no burpees, and tested by someone who plays… a lot.

Because improvement needs evidence. These printable and digital resources help you monitor what matters—round summaries, practice plans, club confidence, and more. Whether you love spreadsheets or just want a visual boost, there’s a tool for that.

Golf is mostly mental, which is why I document the mindset stuff too. These posts dive into focus, nerves, expectations, and the art of moving on from that one shot you really thought you had. Useful reads when the swing’s fine but your brain isn’t.
