🎥Feature Video: I Started With a 10… Can I Recover? ⛳

Golf’s a humbling game—just when you think you’ve figured something out, it falls apart on the next hole. In this round, I focused on tightening up my chipping and tested a new approach strategy... but the putter had other plans.

From a 10 on the opening hole to a few solid tee shots and a new personal best chip proximity, it was another round full of lessons. Can I finally clean up the short game and stop bleeding strokes on the greens? Let’s find out.

Hit play and come along for the ride. 🔥🎥
