What is Breaking Eighty?
Honest Product Reviews and World Class Golf Courses.
Hi, my name is Sean Ogle and I'm the Founder of Breaking Eighty. The goal of this site is to provide honest, unbiased golf reviews to help you find the exact product for YOUR needs. I've personally tested everything we review on the site.
You'll also find articles about some of the best golf courses and resorts in the world.
I started this site in 2012 with the goal of creating the golf website I'd personally want to read. Over a decade later, this holds true more than ever.
I hope you enjoy!
