# Weekend Golfing

> A system for amateur golfers to lower their handicap by diagnosing, improving, and protecting their game. Built around the DIAL Method and run by Todd Molloy, a self-taught amateur who went from a 20.4 handicap in February 2025 to shooting 78 in February 2026, his first round under 80, and is now in single figures. The site's goal is to help golfers break 90 (and then 80) through practice that transfers to the course — not swing-position theory.
