What a first week! A massive thank you to everyone who's joined the Fairways Optional Golf Club already. We've now got members from all over the world, and it's been awesome seeing everyone getting involved, introducing themselves and jumping into the challenges. We really appreciate you being here. I had a fun weekend on and off the course. Friday night we headed out for some glow-in-the-dark night golf. It was absolute chaos! We're still trying to work out the best way to film it, but stay tuned because I think we've got something pretty cool coming. Saturday... let's just say the golf wasn't exactly one for the highlight reel. 😅 One of those rounds where nothing really clicked. But it's a good reminder that golf is supposed to be fun. Not every round is your best, and that's okay. Keep smiling and enjoy being out there. Sunday was much better. I got out with the boys and filmed nine holes with Gaudi to kick off his Breaking 100 series. We've now got a baseline score, a clear idea of what needs improving, and I'm really excited to see how much we can help him - and hopefully plenty of you along the way. A huge congratulations to Cody Dixon, our Week 1 Lag Putt Challenge winner with an impressive 9 points! 👏 Can anyone knock him off this week? Grab a few balls, head to the practice green and let's keep working towards saying goodbye to those three-putts. I've also uploaded this week's Lower Scores Fast lesson, all about aiming. It's one of those simple things that every golfer - even the good players - can benefit from. Take an extra few seconds to check your aim before you check into the Hotel Double Bogey. And if you haven't seen it yet, the latest Unhack This Hole is live! I froze my backside off and got absolutely soaked filming that one, so I really hope you enjoy it. Have a fantastic week everyone. Hit 'em well, make smart decisions, and remember GOLF IS FUN!⛳️

Quick question: 1st day here, how do we level up?

This is where the Fairways Optional chaos begins. I’ve dropped a quick intro video to get things started. At the end, I ask some quick questions - so jump in below and let us know: Name: Where you’re from: Where you play: What you’re working on: Your golf goal: Bonus question: What’s your most Donny moment? A Donny moment is any shot, decision or disaster that seemed like a good idea for about three seconds. I’ll go first in the comments. Welcome in. Golf’s hard. Let’s suck less together.

I scored by best round. I am a 28 handicap beginner golfer and I scored my best ever round. Watch every shot on You Tube out tomorrow at 5pm https://www.youtube.com/@The_left_handed_golfer

The full first episode of 3 Holes to Suck Less is now live for members! ⛳ Jump in and watch how I tackle these three holes, the decisions I make, and why I choose certain shots over others. Then let me know: - What would you have done differently? - What’s one thing you’ll take into your own game this weekend? 🏌️ Weekend challenge: Aim for the centre of every green. It might not be the most exciting target, but it’s one of the fastest ways to lower your scores. Let us know after your round how many times you committed to the middle of the green and whether it helped. I’m officially on holidays from my “real job” for the next two weeks, which means it’s time to get stuck into filming heaps of new content! 🎥 So… what do you want to see first? 🟢 Putting Disaster Class 🔵 Driver Survival Guide Vote in the comments! Have an awesome weekend, everyone. Hit ’em well, make smart decisions, and aim at the dead centre of those greens. ⛳💪
