The Weekend Golfer

What’s ruining golf etiquette? 🤔

Golf is changing, and so are the people playing it. But somewhere along the way, have we started forgetting some of the basic things that make golf enjoyable for everyone?

In Episode 12 of The Weekend Golfer, we’re talking about the unwritten rules of golf and the etiquette every golfer should know.

From slow play and music on the course to fixing ball marks, cart etiquette, beginners, and respecting the golfers around you—we're getting into the conversations that Weekend Golfers are actually having.

And of course, we're asking the big question:

What ONE golf habit would you eliminate forever?

Are private golf clubs really worth the money, or is public golf still the best value for weekend golfers?

In Episode 10 of The Weekend Golfer, we're breaking down one of the biggest debates in golf: private clubs vs. public courses. We compare the benefits of both, discuss who each experience is best for, and answer the question every weekend golfer asks—what gives you the most value for your money?

We also introduce a brand-new recurring segment, Weekend Golfer Course Reviews, where I rate courses from the perspective of the everyday golfer.

This week's review features Legends Oak Golf Course in Myrtle Beach, SC, where I share my honest thoughts on:

•  ⛳ Course Conditions 
•  ⏱️ Pace of Play 
•  💰 Value for the Money 
•  😄 Fun Factor 
•  ⭐ Overall Weekend Golfer Rating 

Plus, we wrap things up with another Weekend Golfer Value Check and a question for you:

If someone gave you a FREE one-year membership to any private golf club... would you take it, or would you rather have unlimited public golf?

Golf has changed… and not just on the course.

Prices are up. Tee times are packed. And for weekend golfers, it’s starting to feel like you’re paying more — without always getting more in return.

In this episode of The Weekend Golfer, we’re breaking down the current state of golf prices and asking the real question:

👉 Is it still worth it?

We talk about:

•  Rising green fees and weekend pricing 
•  Course conditions vs. cost 
•  Pace of play and overall experience 
•  Why this hits weekend golfers the hardest 
•  How to still find value and enjoy the game 

Whether you play once a week or once a month, this is a conversation every golfer is having right now.

You don’t need your best swing to have a good round.

In this episode of The Weekend Golfer, we break down how to still score well even when you don’t have your best stuff.

Because let’s be real — most weekend rounds aren’t perfect.

We’re talking about:

•  Keeping the ball in play off the tee 
•  Staying patient when things aren’t clicking 
•  Making smart decisions instead of chasing perfect shots 
•  Avoiding the mistakes that turn a decent round into a bad one 

This isn’t about playing perfect golf.
 It’s about playing smart, controlled golf — the kind that actually lowers your score.

If you’ve ever said, “I just didn’t have it today,” this episode is for you.

Most weekend golfers try to get better at everything…
 when in reality, scoring comes down to just a few shots.

In this episode of The Weekend Golfer, we break down the three shots that matter most if you want to lower your scores without overhauling your swing.

We’re talking about:

• Keeping your tee shot in play
• Approaches inside 150 yards
• Simple, reliable chip shots around the green

You don’t need a tour-level swing.
 You don’t need to hit every club perfectly.
 You just need to manage what actually moves the scorecard.

If you’re an everyday golfer balancing life, work, and weekend tee times — this episode is for you.

You can hit balls perfectly on the range… and still struggle on the course.

In Episode 4 of The Weekend Golfer Podcast, we talk about the lessons you don’t learn on the range — the things that only show up when you’re playing real golf.

This episode covers:

• Why range sessions don’t translate to lower scores
• Decision-making and course management
• Mental mistakes that cost weekend golfers strokes
• How to play smarter when things aren’t going well
• What actually helps you score better on the course

If you’re a weekend golfer who practices when you can and plays when life allows, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to The Weekend Golfer — the podcast where everyday golfers get a voice. ⛳

In this episode, we talk about why most weekend golfers struggle — and it’s not because they don’t care or don’t try hard enough. It’s because we overthink the game.

If you play golf once a week (or less), you don’t need more swing tips — you need a simpler approach.

In this episode, we cover:

Why too many swing thoughts ruin rounds

How expectations should match your practice time

Simple habits that actually lower scores

Why “boring golf” scores better

How to enjoy golf more without chasing perfection

This episode is for golfers who love the game but want to stop making it harder than it needs to be.

Less thinking. Better decisions. More fun.
