What’s going on, everyone? Hope you’re all doing well!
My family and I took a little mini trip over to Vancouver, and of course, I brought my golf clubs with me. 😂 I booked a tee time at Tsawwassen Springs, a course I had never played before, because I wanted to challenge myself on a new course.
Today, I had my wife with me as my emotional support—and, as it turns out, my lucky charm. ❤️
Before the round, I asked the starter where most people usually tee off from. He asked my handicap, and I said, “Around a 25?” He recommended the white tees, so that’s where I played.
I was paired up with Lucas and Cam, two great young gentlemen who were having a friendly battle with each other throughout the round. We had a really great time.
The front nine was a little rough for me. I just couldn’t get my putter dialled in. The greens felt somewhere between Metchosin and Cordova Bay—definitely not as quick as Highlands or Olympic View.
But for whatever reason, my irons and wedges were absolutely on point today. Then something clicked on the back nine, and I started putting together par after par.
My wife was watching and finally asked, “What exactly are you trying to accomplish here?”
For me, the goal was simple: break 100. That’s what I’ve been working toward every time I step onto the course.
I told her, “Okay, you can keep track of the score, but please don’t tell me what I’m shooting.” 😂
Lukas said wait a min you shooting like you from PGA Tour lmao 😂😂
She’s been keeping track of my round throughout this journey, and I’ve been playing by the rules—playing the ball as it lies, taking penalty strokes when necessary, and no mulligans. My previous scores have generally been between 95 and 98.
The last three holes were a bit of a blur because my wife and I were getting absolutely eaten alive by mosquitoes. 😂 We were also racing the remaining daylight, so I probably rushed a little more than I should have.
When we finally finished, my wife looked at me and said:
“You shot a 91.” As she smiled and said I’m so proud of you 🥹🥹🫰
I honestly couldn’t believe her.
She explained that I kept making par after par early on the back nine, and that’s what made the difference.
I’m still in shock.
91.
That’s officially my personal best. 🏌️♂️🔥
My wife was celebrating and yelling, “Finally!” 😂❤️
And honestly, I couldn’t have done it without her support today. She truly was my emotional support—and apparently my lucky charm.
She said, “It’s probably because that one time you played seven days straight, and now you’re playing four days a week. That’s why you’re improving.”
And I told her, “That’s most definitely the reason.”
This golf journey has been about much more than just scores for me. I started playing because I wanted to see what my body, mind, and spirit could accomplish. I’ve pushed myself through some very difficult times, and I’ve had to take my health seriously along the way.
There was a point where I was very close to having a stroke, and that really changed my perspective on life and taking care of myself.
So when I look at that 91, I don’t just see a number on a scorecard.
I see the hard work, the struggle, the injuries, the long days, the work ethic, the sacrifice, the mentality, the frustration, the little victories—and now, finally, some real progress.
91 today. Personal best. And I’m just getting started. 💪🏌️♂️
Thank you to my wife for letting me play golf ⛳️ ❤️
