THe Golfer Diaries

Golf has a funny way of sneaking into your life and then refusing to leave. One round becomes a habit. A habit becomes a ritual. Before long, you’re measuring time by the number of games played, not calendars.

The Golfer Diaries is my personal journal of that journey. The good rounds, the hackathons, the banter, the friendships, the courses, and everything golf brings with it off the course as much as on it.

Each entry can be a round snapshot - where we played, who was there, how it went, and why it mattered - or just simply a reflection on the game, the industry and or the business of golf. Just honest reflections from someone slightly obsessed with the game.

If you play golf, you’ll recognise yourself somewhere in here.
