A week is a long time in the game of golf.

Last episode Dave was flying! Now his handicap is creeping up. His dreaded two-way miss is back. And with his big Rosapenna trip only days away, his game is in crisis.

It’s time to call in reinforcements. In this high-stakes episode, Dave sits down with Jonnie Cliff — Head PGA Pro at Murrayfield Golf Club in Edinburgh — for a brutally honest lesson and conversation that could decide everything.

Jonnie doesn’t just prepare Dave for the brutal winds and survival shots he’ll face in Donegal — he also starts laying out a plan to get Dave to single figures within the next 4.5 months.

The clock is ticking!

🎯 In this episode:

• Gun-to-your-head scenario: Could Jonnie really get Dave to single figures if his life depended on it?
• How he’d caddy for Dave to break 80.
• Non-negotiable shots everyone needs to succeed on the links

👉 Can Jonnie save Dave's game in time for Rosapenna — and set him on the path to single figures? Find out in Episode 6.

6 weeks into the 6-month handicap challenge - Dave's flying, while Chris is falling apart!

Dave nearly aces a par 3 and looks set for single figures — but admits he can’t find the time to post scores with family life getting in the way. Meanwhile, Chris’s once-reliable low-single digit game completely collapses: pull-hooks, putting nightmares, and his brutal confession… “This podcast might actually be making me worse.”

This episode has it all:

• A 7-hole showdown ending in sudden death drama - check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOvqwM7jUNN/?igsh=QkIxNzhhdGctcQ%3D%3D

• Archie Wyatt (+4 handicap, U.S. college golfer) showing us what elite golf looks like

• Dave riding a hot streak but battling real-life pressure - check out his hole-in-one (almost) here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oU3Kttv4RDI

• Chris questioning if his dream of scratch is already slipping away

⛳️ The tension has never been higher. Will Chris’s breaking point lead to a comeback — or is this the beginning of the end?

Four weeks into our 6-month golf handicap challenge… and instead of improving, our handicaps are going the wrong way. Dave has slipped back to 16.1, while Chris — the single-figure golfer chasing scratch — has crept up to 2.6.

Are we failing before we’ve even begun?

In this episode:

• Chris fires back after the backlash about what really makes a good golfer
• We put last week’s so-called “improvement plan” under the microscope
• We relive the highs, lows, and turning points from our trip to Scotland’s Golf Coast

This is the make-or-break week. If things don’t change now, the entire challenge could collapse.

After last week’s disaster on the course, we realised exactly what’s been holding us back from lowering our handicaps. In Episode 3 of How Low Can You Go? — our 6-month golf improvement challenge — Chris (single-figure golfer chasing scratch) and Dave (16-handicapper fighting to break into single digits) finally sit down to create the make-or-break plan.

From practice routines and short game drills to strategy, skill development, and the mental game, this is where the journey to scratch and single figures gets real.

Will the plan be enough to turn things around — or are we destined to fail? The next 6 months could decide everything.

In Episode 2 of How Low Can You Go? our 6-month golf improvement challenge takes a reality check — we both have bad rounds - very bad rounds. But instead of hiding from the scorecard, we ask an important question:
How should golfers analyse their rounds, especially after a bad one?

If you want to lower your golf handicap, you first need to know exactly where your game is right now. As the saying goes: Know Thyself.

We break down our poor performances and share practical methods for analysing a golf round effectively, including The Tiger 5 — the same checklist used by Tiger Woods — and other tools that help you spot patterns, weaknesses, and missed opportunities.

By the end of this episode, we have a clearer picture of what’s holding us back and are ready to make a plan to fix it — all while the clock ticks on our 6-month race to reach scratch (Chris) and single digits (Dave).

⸻

⛳ In this episode you’ll learn:
•Why bad rounds can be the best for your improvement
•How to track your stats and spot trends
•The Tiger 5 — a simple system for analysing your round
•How to turn weaknesses into a focused practice plan

Welcome to the very first episode of How Low Can You Go? — the golf podcast born in Scotland, the home of golf, following two golf buddies chasing their handicap dreams in just 6 months.

Chris, a single-figure golfer on a mission to reach scratch, teams up with Dave, a mid-handicapper desperate to break into single digits. In this debut episode, we dive into our golf history, what’s motivating us to get better, and lock in our ambitious 2025 targets.

Why do so many golfers work hard at this game but never get better? We’re on a mission to find out — and to prove that with the right plan, mindset, and practice, you can drop your handicap fast.

Expect laughs, lessons, pleasure, and pain as we tackle the rollercoaster ride of amateur golf. This is where the journey begins.
