Happy Friday—and happy Masters week! One of the best weeks in golf. I caught some of the Par 3 Contest, and while ESPN certainly tried to “enhance” the experience… let’s just say it missed the mark. The Masters is special because of its tradition and history. It doesn’t need extras—just more moments with the players and their families. And definitely more Frankie Fleetwood. I’m already looking forward to the day he clears the water on the ninth hole of the Par 3 course.   Now

This will be a shorter update, but I wanted to make sure I shared something for the week.   Over the past six weeks, there have been moments when I’ve questioned whether this challenge is something I can actually complete, and this week was no exception.

I’m loving it.   This week, I continued working on dialing in my distances from 100 yards and in. Monday’s practice was focused on wedge control and understanding my swing lengths — quarter, half,

I’ve officially kicked off The Road to 40  challenge. As the week began, I quickly realized I didn’t have a clear plan in place to achieve this goal. I spent some time trying to outline specific weekly objectives, but nothing really came together.   Since I spend a lot of time using AI at work, I decided to see what it could offer for a personal goal—specifically, improving my golf game. Enter Microsoft Copilot.   My first question was, “What’s the best way to lower my handic

I'm going to try and start a recap of my rounds, when I can, mainly so I can keep track of my progress but maybe it will help one or two...
