Here’s My Plan for 2026 — Chasing 80

Here's My Plan for 2026 — Chasing 80

Last season ended with a nine-hole round at Fellows Creek that I haven't stopped thinking about. Forty-two strokes. Everything working. The question that round left me with — what would it take to play like that consistently, on purpose? — is what this whole season is built around. The data from 2025 diagnosed the gap precisely: ball-striking that outperforms my handicap, and everything inside 100 yards quietly bleeding strokes. This is the plan for closing it. Four phases, a practice system that deliberately inverts what most golfers do, and a capstone in October that the whole season builds toward. The framework exists. The work starts now.

When my family went to Disney World in January I had a decision to make: Guardians of the Galaxy, cocktails around the World, the pool — or a twilight round at the golf course next door. Obviously I made a tee time from baggage claim. This is the reintroduction — who I am now, what changed over a full season of intentional practice, and what this year is actually chasing. The goal is a low 80s average and at least one round under 80 before the season ends. The work is already underway. If you're trying to get a little better at golf yourself (aren't we all?), this might be the blog for you.
