Built for the Office Golfer

About Ryan

I'm Ryan O. — a weekend golfer based in Chicago. I picked up golf in 2010, starting on indoor simulators around the city trying to figure out why the ball kept going right, then moving to real rounds — which is where the obsession took hold. Now I play as often as the schedule allows, primarily out of Harborside Golf Course, plus whatever Chicagoland public course has a tee time open.

I started Cubical Golfer in 2026 because most golf gear reviews felt like they were written in a lab. Here is the thing about the average golfer: you are not consistent. You drive the ball well on Saturday and cannot find the fairway on Sunday. You sat at a desk all week, did not sleep well because the kids were up, and your back is tight from a 9-hour workday. That is the person testing the equipment on this site — not a robot arm, not a scratch player who hits 500 balls a day. Real-world golfers living real-world lives, loving a new putter one round and questioning it the next. That is what honest testing looks like.

I play year-round when Chicago weather allows it (roughly March through November), practice at the range 1-2 times per week, and squeeze in rounds after work whenever the tee sheet has a late-afternoon opening. If you have ever checked tee times during a meeting, scheduled a "dentist appointment" on a Friday afternoon, or kept a packed golf bag in your trunk all week — this site is for you.
