Lear all about the people behind Samayaki

Jake Evans | Founder & Golf Reviewer

Founder of Samayaki | Golf course reviewer | Product tester | Everyday golfer

Jake Evans is the founder of Samayaki and one of the main voices behind the site’s course, range and product reviews.

Jake’s love of golf started as a regular player rather than an industry insider, which is exactly what shapes his approach to reviewing. He looks at golf from the point of view of a feet on the course golfer, actually paying for the round, visiting the range, trying the gear, and deciding whether a product is worth adding to the bag.

At Samayaki, Jake covers golf course reviews, driving range guides, equipment advice and practical golf buying guides. His writing focuses on the things real golfers care about: value for money, playability, difficulty, course condition, facilities, comfort, performance and whether something genuinely improves the golfing experience.

Jake is especially interested in making golf more accessible, helping newer and casual golfers understand the game without unnecessary jargon, while still giving more experienced players useful detail before they play or buy.
