It’s been a while since I updated my game improvement journey, and since I now have access to all my data I figured it was due for a refresh.

BUDGET GOLF IMPROVEMENT KIT
My least favorite thing about golf is how costly the barrier of entry is, & the way that can exclude people from improving at the game.
With that in mind, if I had a $600 budget & had to build an improvement kit from scratch, here’s what I’d do.
You have $600 to build somebody a winter golf improvement kit from scratch. What are you getting & why?
Assume they have basic equipment, an index of 5-20, & are already getting some lessons.

This may surprise people, but even though I’m against the rollback, I’m not opposed to a change that reduces the importance of distance in the game.
Personally, I like that golf is one of the few sports where you don’t have to be genetically blessed to compete at the top level.
