The final of a club major, golf with old friends and a major golfing decision has been made for the 2026 season.

A riot of a round, a crisis of confidence and a Round at Royal Troon, something super cool and some reflection. Its a rollercoaster.
This is the month that over the last few seasons my scoring has been the best of any month during the season.
Are there any signs that the work im putting in is paying off? Is my index ever going to come down?
May started with renewed optimism. I could see that my golf game was going in the right direction with a few of my end of April performances.
I prepared for this round much differently than any other round I have played in 12 years.
March 2025 started with the optimism still high. I’m now one month into the plan, the process, and the journey
Here I am, standing at the start of a new season, believing for the first time in a long time that my body and mind are ready to take the next step in my golf journey. The main goal? A single-figure handicap index.
