In this episode of I Tried…, I put Golf Sidekick’s famous 666 system to the test. The idea is straightforward: 6 GIRs, 6 up & downs, and no more than 6 over par on the “birthday” holes. But does it actually work when you’re out on the course? I’ll walk you through how I approached my round using the 666 strategy, what decisions it forced me to make, and whether it changed my mindset under pressure. You’ll hear the highs, the slip-ups, and the final scorecard. If you’ve ever wondered whether course management can shave strokes off your game—or if it’s just another golf gimmick—this episode is for you.

Episode 2: The Club Championship
