My random pairing at the muni this morning was a minor league baseball player turned firefighter named Jarrett.

When he retired from baseball, a friend asked for his catcher’s mitt and repurposed it as a head cover.

Because most golf courses, esp so in drought prone areas are designed to maximize water storage and are already strictly rate limited on how much public water they can use. They also become safe havens for wildlife in metropolitan areas.

TPC Las Vegas is a great example. The entire course was designed with industry best management practices using natural drainage areas to collect stormwater runoff into the various ponds and it is then used later for irrigation across the course. Most of the time they do not even need their allowable amount of city water.

Golf course superintendents are some of the most conservation conscious people I know and are using best management practices not only to save the course money in irrigation costs, but it also creates a naturally beautiful landscape that wildlife enjoy and golfers want to experience.

Some raw video I took from a commercial video project I shot there few years back.

@GolfWithKG Hello can I be your buddy

[Monday Q Info @acaseofthegolf1]

Nelly and Patty T is an awesome final group today at the Chevron, but in the group behind her is the player I'm rooting for.

Because the money isn't good enough on the women's tour outside of the top 50 players or so, you don't see many grinders in the women's game.

Ryann O'Toole is one of them.

In a game when women turn pro in their teens and even the best of the best often retire early, O'Toole is 39. Ancient by LPGA standards.
For some context, the average age of the rest of the top ten is just 26.

She turned pro 17 years ago, and didn't get her first win until 2021 in her 228th start. She is now over 300 career starts.

O'Toole has played really solid for years, often keeping her card but never finishing better than 32nd in points. A solid career that if she was on the PGA Tour would mean her would be in the 10's of millions.

She has made 4.4 million in her career, spread across 17 years. Take away travel, caddie, agent, and other fees and you see why grinders aren't a thing on the LPGA.

Last season for the first time in years she didn't play well, finished 137th in points and lost her full card. At 39, I'd guess there was some thoughts that her outstanding career was over or nearing its end.

But O'Toole didn't think that, she went to Q-school, shot a final round 65, the second best round of the day and finished 3rd, easily getting her card back.

So far this year she has made 3 of 3 cuts, and now tees off in 3rd place. Unless Nelly stumbles badly, a win is likely out of the question, but a solid weekend will go a long way to locking up O'Toole's card for next season.

It would be her 18th season and the grind would continue.

Here is to a couple of good ones.
