Episode 62: Jarrod (Cape Cod Golf Guys) - 13.5 Handicap

This week on Golfers Anonymous, I’m joined by Jarrod from Cape Cod Golf Guys, who with his brother Adam set out to play—and document—the 51 courses across Cape Cod and the Islands.
We talked about how the idea was born on a family porch and grew into a full-fledged platform that helps locals and visitors alike discover everything from scrappy nine-holers to bucket-list private clubs. Jarrod shares their approach to reviewing courses, why capturing the vibe matters more than perfect greens, and how their creative tournaments—like Bird Fest at Royal & Ancient Chappaquiddick—bring the Cape golf community together.
As someone who hasn't ventured down to the Cape much for golf, this was a super fun conversation.
