ABOUT US

We’re Not Scratch Golfers.
We’re Working On It.

I didn’t grow up playing golf.
I didn’t have lessons.
I didn’t know what I was doing.
And honestly… most advice didn’t help me get better.

Settle in. Let’s talk golf.

Bogey to Scratch wasn’t built by someone with a swing coach, a perfect tempo, and a junior golf résumé.

It was built by someone who started later…
figured it out the hard way…
and realized most golf advice doesn’t actually help the people who need it most.

You know – the ones stuck in between.

Not beginners anymore.
Not good enough to fake it.
Trying to get better… without knowing what actually matters.

Doing all the “right things”… and still not seeing scores change.

That’s where this started.

And once you start looking for help… you notice something.

Golf has two lanes:
“Here’s how to hold a club”
“Here’s how to shape a 7-iron into a back-left pin”

And somehow… nothing that actually helps you get better.

No clear roadmap.
No simple explanations.
No one saying:

“Hey — this is what actually moves the needle.”

So instead, you bounce between YouTube tips, random swing thoughts, and hoping this round is the one.

(It’s usually not.)

What BTS Actually Is

Bogey to Scratch is a real-time journey to better golf.

Not theory.
Not recycled tips.
Not pretending we’ve figured it all out.

Just:
What’s working
What’s not
What actually lowers scores
And what’s a complete waste of time

(There’s more of that than you’d think.)

In real time. No filters. No pretending it’s working when it’s not

Because getting better at golf isn’t about magic tips.

It’s about:
Better decisions
Better habits
And stacking small improvements over time

The boring stuff… that actually works.

Our Mission

To help everyday golfers get better - without the noise, the nonsense, or the need to be perfect. Just smarter decisions, better habits, and small changes that actually lower scores.

We help beginners get started - and help returning golfers find their swing again.

The Philosophy

Small Changes. Better Golf.

That’s it.

Not a swing overhaul every weekend.
Not chasing perfection.
Not trying to “figure it all out” in one range session.

Just doing a few things a little better… consistently.

Just doing a few things a little better… consistently.

Because that’s how this game actually works.

Not flashy.
Not exciting.
But it works.

It’s not how most people want to get better.
It’s how people actually do.

Who This Is For

This is for you if:

You’ve broken 100… and want more
You’ve broken 90… and feel stuck
You’ve flirted with 80… and can’t quite get there
You know you should be better… but can’t figure out why you’re not

You hit enough good shots to know it’s in there…
just not often enough to trust it.

Basically…

You’re not starting.
But you’re not finished either.

Which is exactly where this game gets interesting… and frustrating.

The Close

Getting better at golf isn’t clean.

It’s frustrating.
It’s inconsistent.
And every now and then… it’s incredible.

One pure shot keeps you coming back.

The one that feels easy.
The one that makes you think,
“Wait… I might actually figure this out.”

We’re just trying to make sure
there are more of those.

Because once you see it… you don’t want to go back.”
