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.
