New round posted weekly. No lessons, no swing tips — just honest first impressions.
Who we are
We're not handing out lessons and we're not trying to. Divots Fore Drivers is a weekly trip to a local golf course — public, private, eighteen-hole, nine-hole, whatever's around — where we play the round and tell you exactly what we thought. Good greens, bad service, rough fairways, terrible shots: it all makes the cut.
"If we wouldn't bring a buddy back, we'll tell you why."
