The journey
Scratch is the target. The reality is the point.
Old Man Golfs follows Christopher Didd—an experienced competitive golfer balancing the chase for scratch with work, family and the rounds that refuse to go to plan.
There are good swings, terrible reads, equipment experiments and Shot Scope numbers. No manufactured drama. No pretending the bad one never happened.
“Good enough to know what should happen. Old enough to know it probably won’t.”
What to watch
Four ways into the round.
The recurring stories behind the account—from the scorecard to the putting line and everything the data exposes afterwards.
02Putting, with consequences
Right Edge Club
The recurring putting series for every golfer who has ever read the line, trusted it—and watched the ball stay outside.
03Nothing staged
On-Course Moments
Pure strikes, ugly misses, near hole-in-ones and the reactions that make a round worth remembering.
04Proof over hype
Equipment & Data
Shot Scope numbers, club changes and equipment opinions grounded in what actually happens on the course.
Inside the numbers
Golf is a feelings game. The numbers disagree.
Every round leaves evidence. Shot Scope turns it into something useful—what worked, what didn’t and what deserves changing before the next card goes in.
