Playing the game I love — with complete clarity.
About John
"The game is better when you’re fully present."
John Young is a golf content creator documenting the intersection of golf, sobriety, and building the best version of yourself one day at a time. Based in New England, John brings an honest, unfiltered perspective on what it means to love this game without the bar cart.
From sunrise range sessions to bucket-list courses, John's content is about playing better, living cleaner, and being real about the journey. Golf culture is deeply tied to drinking — John is changing that conversation, one round at a time.
What I Create
01
⛳Course vlogs, swing breakdowns, on-course challenges, and honest reviews of the best tracks in New England and beyond. Pure golf content for people who love the game.
02
🌿An honest, unfiltered look at living and playing sober in a sport deeply tied to drinking culture. Real stories. Real wins. No judgment — just the journey.
03
💪Golf-specific training, mobility work, and the physical discipline that sharpens your game. Look and feel your best on the course — starting at the gym.
Brand Partnerships
01 — Skull & Bogeys Golf Co.
Skull & Bogeys Golf Co. is a premium golf apparel brand born not in a boardroom, but in recovery — forged from personal experience with addiction and the ache of redemption. Founded by Joe Annotti out of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, the brand is built for golfers who don't fit the country club mold.
Performance polos, hats, and athletic gear designed with rebellion in mind — and a mission that runs deeper than the sport.
25% of every purchase goes directly toward addiction recovery and mental health — funding gym memberships, yoga classes, and community wellness programs through organizations like NamaStay Sober. Every tee shot counts.
Skull & Bogeys Golf Co.
As the Global Brand Ambassador for Skull & Bogeys, John brings the brand's mission to life on every course he plays. A sober golfer documenting his journey publicly, John embodies exactly what S&B stands for — resilience, authenticity, and playing the game on your own terms.
The partnership is more than apparel. It's a shared belief that recovery and golf belong in the same conversation — and that the course can be a place of genuine healing.

02 — Seagrass Supply
Seagrass Supply was born from a life spent chasing coastlines — founded by Ben, a surfer-turned-golfer who found the same meditative rhythm in both pursuits. The brand makes sustainable golf footwear and lifestyle shoes that perform on the course and look just as right off it.
The Seagrass Chivo (a retro runner) and the Ranch (a premium leather golf shoe) are built with the latest sustainable material technology — proof that doing better for the planet doesn't mean sacrificing performance or style.
“It’s never perfect. And that’s kind of the point.” Seagrass is rooted in slow mornings, golden hour, good friendships, and the fluidity of adapting to whatever the round throws at you. Details make the difference.
Seagrass Supply
A New England golfer who plays the game with presence and intention, John is a natural fit for Seagrass’s philosophy. He brings the brand’s coastal authenticity and commitment to purpose-driven living to every round he documents — on and off the course.
The partnership reflects a shared belief: that what you wear, what you consume, and how you play all say something about who you are. Seagrass is for golfers who care about the details.

“I refuse to wake up in five or 10 years and look at myself in the mirror and say, ‘You had a platform and did nothing.’”
