Who are you?
I’m Mike Mendoza, community builder, youth advocate, creator of @checkupgolf, and Program Manager for the SCGA Jr. Golf Foundation and Player Youth Development.
What’s golf to you?
Golf is life! A space for me, a chronic over-thinker, to get out of my head which hopefully leads to self discovery and understanding. I also find it similar to breaking bread in a communal space to dialog and offer admiration and support for each other.
Target handicap?
Currently at 18. Goal is to shoot for 10.
Favorite golf course?
Rams Hill in Borrego Springs, CA. But looking to get some out of state golf in this year.
Favorite item in your bag?
My Vokey SM8 M grind 60° wedge.
Shoutouts?
My lovely wife @joolyaah, family, friends and our pup Darla for being so supportive. @othersgolfclub for being the best club! @marshmaille for allowing me to share space. The fam at @studentsgolf @sandypar @g_c_r_e_w @malbongolf @puttwellgolf and @pare__golf for making sure the fit is right on the course. The good people and our team at @scgajunior for fostering an inclusive space for our youth — the future of golf.
