I’m Rob, from Manchester, UK. Founder and creator of Stripey Green TV. As an amateur golfer, I stumbled through the 2020 season with a high handicap (24). I enjoyed meeting up with friends once or twice a week to play golf. However, when I sat down at the end of the year to analyse my golfing season, I suddenly realised that I hadn’t really enjoyed it.
Yes, I’d had fun times and laughs on the course along the way, but it dawned on me that the overall lack of improvement and direction was the reason why the enjoyment and personal satisfaction wasn’t there. How could I change this? I decided that I needed to focus more on my game. I decided to set myself a target of becoming a single figure golfer.
To record my progress, I setup Stripey Green TV. Initially SGTV was created to update friends and family on my progress. I soon realised that I was really enjoying writing about my golf and creating content on YouTube & Instagram. Other people were also commenting on how they enjoyed reading my updates and watching my videos. It turns out that there are a lot of other amateur golfers around the world with very similar goals. Like me these golfers are looking for hints, tips, and products to help them to achieve these goals.
This process led to the creation of the Stripey Green TV website. I had a desire initially to improve and enjoy my golf game. This has now evolved into a way to share my thoughts and ideas about the game I love, in the form of content that I hope other players find both relatable and fun!
I haven’t reached my single figure handicap target yet, but I’m getting there! In 2024 I managed to reach my lowest ever handicap of 12.0. I know the drop from 12 to single figures is not easy though. It will take a huge amount of practice and dedication but I’m keen to put the work in during the 2025 season and get even closer to my goal.
